Question 1 (100 points) Using the passage from Fahrenheit 451:
"It was a pleasure to burn.
It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this
great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of
some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of
history. With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head, and his eyes all orange flame with the thought of what came
next, he flicked the igniter and the house jumped up in a gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black. He
strode in a swarm of fireflies. He wanted above all, like the old joke, to shove a marshmallow on a stick in the furnace, while the
flapping pigeon-winged books died on the porch and lawn of the house. While the books went up in sparkling whirls and blew
away on a wind turned dark with burning.
Montag grinned the fierce grin of all men singed and driven back by flame."
