    Bradbury uses so many literacy devices that it was hard to pick just three‚ but I chose allusion‚ irony and analogies. Bradbury uses allusion to try to explain thing in great detail without actually telling you what he’s explaining. Allusion is an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference. In the story Fahrenheit 451 Bradbury uses allusion when he describes Mildred’s friends. “They were like a monstrous crystal chandelier ticking
