Essay on fahrenheit 451

Ray bradbury's language, especially his figure of speech and his syntax, to convey how Montag inner world differed from the world around him.
Bradbury'so language is very distinct. Bradbury uses a language that is both simple and beautiful poetic language in the book Bradbury uses simple language when he describes Montag interaction with other people. When Bradbury describes the character or scene, etc he uses a poetic language.
Ray uses figure of speech to show the readers how Montag's inner world differs from the world around him. Ray uses this simile that says, "Henry slid down the pole like a man in a dream." This is a good example of a simile because it shows how Montag is confused and dazed and doesn't feel like he's in the real world. Another figure of speech says,"You ever seen a burnt house? It smolders for days. Well this fire'll last me the rest of my life." This is a great figure of speech or quote because it's interesting how Montag has been at so many fires, and yet just this one fire that he sees affects him so much.
Bradbury's use of syntax in the book in the scene where Montag is yelling in the train because he is hearing about "Denham's" on the speakers. Ray chops down his sentences in this part of the book. Montag's mind changes between two thoughts just like he lives in two life's when he starts reading books.
In conclusion bardbury uses of language and figure of speech, and syntax to convey how Montag's inner world differed from the world around him. Montag lives in two different worlds or wants to. He lives in a world where the society doesn't think or do anything for themselves. Montag wants to live in another world where he can think for himself, where he can read books. Also somewhere he can make his own decisions in his life and for his contry.
