In the book Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury a Character named Montag had an inner world that really differed from the world around him. Montag's perception on books was different than everyone else's. He saw something in them others didn't, he saw knowledge. Montag had an idea to start his own or a new generation when the city was destroyed by bombs.
I feel like one of Ray Bradbury's syntax starts with symbolism. In class Joseph talked about a salamander resembling the fireman, and he made the connection of how salamanders are always near water and fireman are always near fire. Simple. 451 can also resemble the temperature of the books burning. There is so much symbolism that's why I chose it as number 1 in Ray Bradbury's syntax.
Irony plays a huge part in this book also. The most ironic part about the book is that Montag is a fire fighter who doesn't put out fires anymore but starts them! When Beatty would tell Montag "if you have a problem burn it " I think he was using figurative speech but Montag took matters into his own hands when Beatty found out Montag's secret. Irony and Figurative speech together. The imagery Ray Bradbury puts in my head when he details these sentences is great.
Symbolism,imagery,figurative speech, and irony plus more can be found through out the book. But the I think the way Ray Bradbury arranges his sentences is through symbolism,irony and imagery and he does a great job of doing it. In my opinion I feel like he's kind of weird to come up with half the stuff Montag thinks or does.
