1. I think that Bradbury had chosen the first chapter to be “The Hearth and the Salamander” because he introduces the fire fighter Montag. He is the meaning for salamander and his home place is the hearth where the fire lays. The connection that he is making is based off the conflict between Montag and himself .
2. The guy Montag is a fire fighter who spends most of his time at fires watching things being burned down things while trying to control it make it stop.
3. The author might of chosen to characterize a fire hose as a “great python” because he is comparing how a python venom can keep someone getting worse and worse with the hose with wouldn’t help save the people and just keep causing the fire to grow. My thought is that his imagery is a negative thought because it isn’t helping to keep the fire out.
4. Montag’s firemen’s helmet has the number 451 on it because it symbolizes the degree at which book burn to.
5. Clarisse McClellan is first described as a slender and milk- white face almost as a pale surprise with dark eyes. She imitates Montag by the way she had been looking at him making him feel that she was waiting for him.
6. The names Clarisse and Guy are significant because they symbolize their they own personality and on how they act towards something or someone.
