50. Examine the paragraph on 119 (“And then he was a shrieking blaze...”) for style. First, what is going on in this paragraph? What is the tone of this paragraph? Choose some especially effective words and images which help support your tone. What literary devices does Bradbury use in this paragraph?

Answer: In this paragraph Montag burned Beatty with the flame thrower that he used to burn his house with. the tone of this paragraph is a horrified tone. Montag is horrified about what is going on but is yet fascinated by it. " And then he was a shrieking blaze,a jumping, sprawling, gibbering manikin, no longer human or known..." Bradbury uses a similes and a lot of imagery in this paragraph to describe how Beatty is burning.
