After reading chapters 1 and 2 of Fahrenheit 451, what have we learned about the main character Montag?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Farenheit 451 is set in the 24th century in a country where no one reads books anymore because life has to be lived quickly. There is no more time for reading. The ideas in books are seen as defamatory and books are therefore burned the moment they are discovered.

Guy Montag works as a fireman, which at the time meant that he burned books. He likes his job and sees the kerosene smell that surrounds him as a kind of perfume. When he comes home after work, he feels lonely. His wife Mildred wants to be entertained 24 hours a day and therefore has a small radio permanently in her ear and the three TVs in the apartment are also on all day.

Which word has the most negative connotation? A messy C dusty B dirty D filthy

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Filthy

The most negative connotation dusty

When a word has an unpleasant or disagreeable connotation, it is said to have a negative connotation.

Which term is associated with negative connotation?

A term with a negative connotation is one that makes you feel bad. For instance, phrases like "pushy," "stubborn," "nosy," and "lazy" all imply negative traits.

In contrast to a word's literal meaning, connotation relates to a word's underlying meaning; the negative connotation represents underlying

implications of a term that are bad.

Positive and harmonious outcomes result from embracing someone or something, as opposed to bad outcomes from negative compliance, clinging, or even total. Therefore, it is acceptable to say that the connotation of "embrace" is the most positive.

Answers

Answer:

"Universal Mishaps or Fate"

Explanation:

I believe I would title my book "Universal Mishaps or Fate". This is because throughout my life there have been far too many embarrassing moments that have happened to me which do not seem to happen to anyone else. I also know that I am not the only one and everyone's story is unique, but at the same time, these events that are seemingly random and/or coincidences have led me to become the person I am. Aside from this these past events have opened doors that I would have never imagined would be connected to such random mishaps of my past.

George Orwell claimed that Charles Dickens’s ability to evoke visual images has never been matched. Develop a position that either supports or refutes Orwell’s claim that "When Dickens has once described something you see it for the rest of your life." State your position (thesis) and appropriate evidence to support your argument. Your evidence may include your reading of Chapter 1 or any other Dickens text, your relevant personal experiences, and your observations.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

George Orwell was a great admirer of the Charles Dickens Work, always praising the author's unequaled ability to make readers live the stories he created, with an impressive ability to provoke mental images in readers. Anyone who has read at least one work written by Dickens can confirm that Orwell is correct, since Dickens' writing ability is unequaled.

We can confirm this by citing one of Dicken's best-known works, "a crhistimas carrol", highlighting the influence that Dickens's writing had on the Christmas traditions that we preserve today. In this work, the protagonist, a greedy man, is visited by three spirits who totally modify his view of Christmas and his own behavior.

However, what I want to emphasize in this text is Dickens' descriptive ability when narrating the scenario where the spirit of Christmas present appears for the first time. Dickens describes in detail a warm, pleasant and impeccably decorated environment, in addition, Dickens describes the Christmas dinner, the way it should be established, citing all the foods, colors, textures, smells and sensations that the environment has. At this moment, Dickens makes a wide use of adjectives, so that the reader can visualize the scene to the point of participating in it, in addition, the strong use of imagery by the author, allows the reader not only to see, but to feel and hear everything is being narrated.

This description was so efficient that it made the population want to reproduce this environment in their homes every Christmas, because that was how Christmas should be celebrated.

No one would have believed in the last years of the
nineteenth century that this world was being watched
keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and
yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves
about their various concerns they were scrutinised and
studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a
microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that
swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite
complacency men went to and fro over this globe about
their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire
over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the
microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the
older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or
thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them
as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of
the mental habits of those departed days. At most
terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon
Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to
welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of
space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of
the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and
unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and
slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in
the twentieth century came the great disillusionment.

The Internet Because whenever we need to know something go go here like right now

The global system of interconnected computer networks known as the Internet is used by billions of people worldwide. Countless people helped develop it, but the person most often credited with its invention is the computer scientist Lawrence Roberts. In the 1960s, a team of computer scientists working for the U.S. Defense Department's ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) built a communications network to connect the computers in the agency, called ARPANET. It used a method of data transmission called "packet switching" which Roberts, a member of the team, developed based on prior work of other computer scientists. ARPANET was the predecessor of the Internet.

E. Include facts and statistics.

Answers

Answer:

A. Use third-person point of view.

E. Include facts and statistics.

Explanation:

What should be kept in mind when working on expository writing is to use a third-person point of view, as expressed in option A and explained below.

What is expository writing?

Expository writing refers to essays or articles whose purpose is to explain something with as much detail as possible. For example, an expository essay could focus on a fire that destroyed a neighborhood, explaining its causes and consequences.

When performing expository writing, we should use a third-person point of view, which makes it more impersonal and, consequently, less biased. With that in mind, we can eliminate options B through E.

In conclusion, the correct answer for this question is found in option A, use third-person point of view.
