Entry6

Please choose one passage from the novel this is significant to you. Why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage.In the morning he would not have needed sleep, for all the warm odors and sights of a complete country night would have rested and slept him while his eyes were wide and his mouth, when he thought to test it, was half a smile.And there at the bottom of the hayloft stair waiting for him would be the incredible thing. He would step carefully down, in the pink light of early morning, so fully aware of the world that he would be afraid, and stand over the small miracle and at last bend to touch it.These two paragraphs from page 143 are simply amazing when you try to imagine it. The way the author states it, it simply pictures as amazing beauty in my mind. It is so meaningful because it states, in context, the beautiful difference between natural nature and the technological society in which Montag came from. It shows part of the theme, how in our future, people might become consumed by technology, and never realize the beauty of nature in which God created. It also symbolizes Montag’s bravery and courage. The last few lines shows the bravery of Montag of him getting out of his natural, beautiful nature sleep, and stepping out, back in to the world in which he wanted, but still have the willpower to move on.
