One thing that I learned while reading

Historical Recurrence "A favorite theory of mine to wit‚ that no occurrence is sole and solitary‚ but is merely a repetition of a thing which has happened before‚ and perhaps often”(Twain). This quote from a famous writer‚ Mark Twain‚ talks about how he believes that history can and does repeat itself. Mark is saying that everything takes place for a reason and has occurred sometime before in history. This idea of history repeating itself is present throughout the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Cambrensis insults the Irish society through their dress‚ agricultural commerce‚ and fight tactics. The mention of the Irsih living as beasts is his main analogy to animalistic behavior of the people. However‚ Gerald makes sure to coyly compliment their musical abilities
