Juxtaposition of the Bible vs. Jingle Passage from Fahrenheit 451
Im doing the Juxtaposition of the Bible vs. jingle passage, and also see if this passage would add the confusion of montage to the book. The influence of media on person’s ability to concentrate.
The green part has been added to my work and I need to make juxtaposition for the green part of the passage as well, also the green part in the question I need to do something with that.

Thisis: In this passage, Montag is trying to read a passage of the Bible, however, a very annoying advertisement is coming from one of the tvs around him, and it disrupt his thoughts. Not only does this passage show in detail how Montag is extremely angry at the advertisement, it also shows how most of the people in that world are almost unable to think just because of the amount of noise that they are surrounded by. In this passage, it shows Montag get angry from the annoying “Denham’s Dental Dentifrice” advertisement.

Trumpets blared. "Denham's Dentrifice." Shut up, thought Montag. Consider the lilies of the field. "Denham's Dentifrice." They toil not- "Denham's--"
Consider the lilies of the field, shut up, shut up. "Dentifrice ! " He tore the book open and flicked the pages and felt them as if he were blind, he picked at the shape of the individual letters, not blinking. "Denham's. Spelled : D-E.N " They toil not, neither do they . . . A fierce whisper of hot sand through empty sieve. "Denham's does it!" Consider the lilies, the lilies, the lilies... "Denham's dental detergent."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!” It was a plea, a cry so terrible that Montag found himself on his feet, the shocked inhabitants of the loud car staring, moving back from this man with the insane, gorged face, the gibbering, dry mouth, the flapping book in his fist. The people who had been sitting a moment before, tapping their feet to the rhythm of Denham's Dentifrice, Denham's Dandy Dental Detergent, Denham's Dentifrice Dentifrice Dentifrice, one two, one two three, one two, one

    Ray Bradbury decided that in hopes of emulating his heroes, and to “live forever” though his fiction. He uses his writing to create stories that make you think about what might just happen if we aren’t careful. Ray Bradbury uses so many literacy devices that it was hard to pick just three, but I chose allusion, irony and analogies.…

    Now these two people are both everyday citizens in society however one’s knowledge supersedes the other. Bradbury uses these two people as substitutes for Clarisse and Montag when first meeting. Clarisse’s knowledge overshadows Montag’s with simple things such as dew on the grass. Clarisse addresses this when on a stroll with Montag when Montag starts being frustrated with such an observation “He suddenly couldn’t remember if he had known this or not and it made him quite irritable”(7). This shows how Clarisse’s knowledge is victorious to Montag’s ignorance, making him frustrated about such a simple aspect in everyday life. This is not the only time Clarisse has changed Montag with her knowledge, when finished with the walk Clarisse changes Montag’s whole perspective when asking him if he’s happy “Of course I’m happy. What does she think I’m not”(18)? This shows Clarisse’s knowledge now changing Montag in…

    Since the beginning, fire has been only known as destruction and despair. This seems to be true until Ray Bradbury published Fahrenheit 45, which has a perspective on fire being not just destruction but also warmth in a of world censorship that has gone out of touch with its human counterparts through its use of technology.

    For the majority of the book, Montag believes that books are what is missing in his life, but as faber goes on to explain “Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores.” () Faber is explaining how books produce a true experience, that is an experience that isn't hollow or shallow. Books are not the only thing that can carry this kind of weight, TV and radio could easily contain such sustenance, it is just not demanded by the people anymore. Montag is not happy because the world he lives in is just distractions full of bright colors, sugar, and noises. There no time to analyze, there is no need to think.…

    Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury is a futuristic novel, taking the reader to a time where books and thinking are outlawed. In a time so dreadful where those who want to better themselves by thinking, and by reading are outlaws as well. Books and ideas are burned, books are burned physically, where as ideas are burned from the mind. Bradbury uses literary devices, such as symbolism, but it is the idea he wants to convey that makes this novel so devastating. Bradbury warns us of what may happen if we stop expressing our ideas, and we let people take away our books, and thoughts. Bradbury notices what has been going on in the world, with regards to censorship, and book burning in Germany, and McCarthyism in America. That is what he is speaking out against. Bradbury is also a very symbolic writer, he incorporates symbolism into his book. Bradbury's use of symbolism throughout the novel makes the book moving and powerful by using symbolism to reinforce the ideas of anti-censorship.…

    I know this quote is quite long, but I feel like its very important. I feel like Montag is finally expressing his feelings. In this quote you can see how much Clarisse affected him in the long run. Montag has started questioning everything and he has become different from the rest of the population, and also Mildred, she cares more about her 'television family' than she does about Montag. And honestly Mildred doesn't see the point in books, she thinks books are pointless because she can't communicate with the peoples in the book, but she can communicate with her 'family' in the walls. I feel like this quote tells a lot, Montag is getting everything off his chest and he has acknowledged that there is an issue. His society is very impersonal…
