2) Often characters in novels or plays have a greater meaning; their entire life story can stand for more than just their events. Choose a novel or play in which a single character or single caste stands for a greater meaning. Include how the author uses literary devices to portray their point. Avoid mere plot summary.
3) Fahrenheit 451 is a classic example of a man vs. society struggle. Guy Montag is one individual who stands out alone vs. society. After his lonesome adventures he discovers an entire society below the main one out on the tracks. These events help Montag grow to have a greater purpose.
Guy Montag is a fireman who rids the town of books. Although Guy destroys these masterpieces, he doesn't agree with what he is doing. He in fact has a small library in his house. Upon discovery he commits murder just to save books and let them continue in the world. Upon fleeing the city he meets up with living books, people who have memorized entire books to save them. The reader realizes that at this point the government can't do anything about riding the world of all these books. Once the government can realize this than these living books can recreate these books on paper so none of these books can ever be lost.
Montag's purpose is to be a living book. No books can ever be destroyed. These ones on the tracks keep the dream alive. All that Montag has done in his life adds up to the eventual continuation of novels, plays, encyclopedias, and all other literature.
Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451, uses several literary devices. In the novel he foreshadows Montag's meeting of the men on the tracks when Montag is commenting on how he tries to remember every word of the bible. Bradbury also uses words like fire, burn, char, and soot to describe almost every event. This is a demonstration of what Montag does. Last of all Bradbury uses fire to symbolize what can't be undone.
In conclusion, Guy saves books by destroying them. He steels books from the houses he is burning and memorizes them. This is a move that symbolizes how one individual can have an amazing effect on society.
