According to SPARKNOTES, there's 3::\n\nParadoxes- \n\nIn the beginning of “The Hearth and the Salamander,” Montag’s bedroom is described first as “not empty” and then as “indeed empty,” because Mildred is physically there, but her thoughts and feelings are elsewhere. Bradbury’s repeated use of such paradoxical statements—especially that a character or thing is dead and alive or there and not there—is frequently applied to Mildred, suggesting her empty, half-alive condition. Bradbury also uses these paradoxical statements to describe the “Electric-Eyed Snake” stomach pump and, later, the Mechanical Hound. These paradoxes question the reality of beings that are apparently living but spiritually dead. Ultimately, Mildred and the rest of her society seem to be not much more than machines, thinking only what they are told to think. The culture of Fahrenheit 451 is a culture of insubstantiality and unreality, and Montag desperately seeks more substantial truths in the books he hoards.\n\nAnimal and Nature Imagery-\n\nAnimal and nature imagery pervades the novel. Nature is presented as a force of innocence and truth, beginning with Clarisse’s adolescent, reverent love for nature. She convinces Montag to taste the rain, and the experience changes him irrevocably. His escape from the city into the country is a revelation to him, showing him the enlightening power of unspoiled nature.\n\nMuch of the novel’s animal imagery is ironic. Although this society is obsessed with technology and ignores nature, many frightening mechanical devices are modeled after or named for animals, such as the Electric-Eyed Snake machine and the Mechanical Hound.\n\nReligion- \n\nFahrenheit 451 contains a number of religious references. Mildred’s friends remind Montag of icons he once saw in a church and did not understand. The language Bradbury uses to describe the enameled, painted features of the artifacts Montag saw is similar to the language he uses to describe the firemen’s permanent smiles. Faber invokes the Christian value of forgiveness: after Montag turns against society, Faber reminds him that since he was once one of the faithful, he should demonstrate pity rather than fury.\nThe narrative also contains references to the miracle at Canaa, where Christ transformed water into wine. Faber describes himself as water and Montag as fire, asserting that the merging of the two will produce wine. In the biblical story, Jesus Christ’s transformation of water into wine was one of the miracles that proved his identity and instilled faith in his role as the savior. Montag longs to confirm his own identity through a similar self-transformation.\n\nThe references to fire are more complex. In the Christian tradition, fire has several meanings: from the pagan blaze in which the golden calf was made to Moses’ burning bush, it symbolizes both blatant heresy and divine presence. Fire in Fahrenheit 451 also possesses contradictory meanings. At the beginning it is the vehicle of a restrictive society, but Montag turns it upon his oppressor, using it to burn Beatty and win his freedom.\n\nFinally, Bradbury uses language and imagery from the Bible to resolve the novel. In the last pages, as Montag and Granger’s group walk upriver to find survivors after the bombing of the city, Montag knows they will eventually talk, and he tries to remember appropriate passages from the Bible. He brings to mind Ecclesiastes 3:1, “To everything there is a season,” and also Revelations 22:2, “And on either side of the river was there a tree of life . . . and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations,” which he decides to save for when they reach the city. The verse from Revelations also speaks of the holy city of God, and the last line of the book, “When we reach the city,” implies a strong symbolic connection between the atomic holocaust of Montag’s world and the Apocalypse of the Bible.

If the book is deliberatley written to degrade any one person or group of persons it should be censored. That is both morally and socially wrong and should never be done. I have been a victim of literature degradation and no one should have to go through that.

I've read the book and the moral values are to\n1- Learn to stop hiding from the truth which in this case were her fears\n2- Find courage and belief in yourself\n3- Share your secrets and fears with somebody\n4- Be persistent\n5- Don't be ashamed of who you are\n6- Fight for what you think is right in your own way\n7- Don't worry about the past but the future!\n\nThere are many more but I hope this helped!

read the book seen the movie, both are great, though book is by far better. \n\nthe moral is knowing to stand up for ones who can't stand up to them themselves. \n\nhope it helps!

Are you analyzing the just the symbolism of the sows head or the entire movie?  I think the movie shows what the basics of human nature are and how we will revert back to them once survival becomes a primary concern.  Nice work on the analysis.

This is kind of Calvin and Hobbes-esque, but it'll work.\n\nOur heroine is shackled to a wall by a psycho scientist and his lackey. He laughs manically as he holds up a syringe. "This will make you obey me! Muwahahahaaaa!" Our heroine is shocked and attempts to kick the psycho scientist in the face. The lackey holds her down. Suddenly a suppressed power emerges and she is able to melt the metal shackles! She promptly begins to round-house kick the psycho scientist to the ground and drop kicks the lackey into a window shattering his skull. She promptly manipulates the metal shackles that bound her to the psycho scientist. She does not kill him, she merely gives him a dose of his own medicine.

1) importance of studying morals and ethics- helps you understand human behavior. Each culture has their own set of morals and ethics. In ancient times (think Old Testament), it was within a man's right to do as he pleased with members of his household... Today, not so much.\n\n2) Don't know much about postmodernism, so I'm not much help there...\n\nGood luck on your paper!!

Bioethics concerns the ethical questions that arise in the relationships between biology, medicine, cybernetics, politics, law, philosophy, and theology. Disagreement exists about the proper scope for the application of ethical evaluation to questions involving biology. Some bioethicists would narrow ethical evaluation only to the morality of medical treatments or technological innovations, and the timing of medical treatment of humans. Other bioethicists would broaden the scope of ethical evaluation to include the morality of all actions that might help or harm organisms capable of feeling fear and pain.\n\nBioethics involves many public policy questions that are often politicized— used to mobilize political constituencies. For this reason, some biologists and others involved in the development of technology have come to see any mention of "bioethics" as an attempt to derail their work and react to it as such, regardless of the true intent. Transhumanist biologists in particular can be inclined to this line of thought, as they see their work as inherently ethical, and attacks on it as misguided.

Power \nDifferent types of power, some used and abused. Democratic power is shown when choices and decisions are shared among many people on the island. Jack shows authoritarian power by threatening and terrifying others. Some of the boys utilize brute force, when hunting for pigs, and later hunting for Ralph. \n\nFear of the Unknown \nThe boy's fear of the unknown on the island leads to their fear of the beast. The boys cannot accept the notion of a beast existing on the island, nor can they let go of it. The recognition that no real beast exists, and that the only beast on the island is fear itself is one of the deepest meanings of the story. \n\nBlindness and Sight \nPiggy is blind to his immediate surroundings but really understands what is going on on the island. Unfortunately, the boys do not realize that Piggy sees more, and he is treated poorly and is eventually killed.

I haven't seen the movie. \n\n If you want to know if the word in the movie means bacteria, please tell us what the name is, so we can help you.  Even if you misspell it, it is better than nothing.

I think it sounds pretty good:). I would just brush up your grammar on some of it, rearrange some of your sentence structure, otherwise it is really well done! I read Lord Of The Flies my freshman year of high school, and it was one of the only ones I could read without hating it. The only question I have is-are you sure Golding is giving the early forms of living a bad rep? or is he maybe looking into what he sees may be the future of civilization if we cannot live by our morals and our rules???? Think about it in that sense and you may get a different view on it:). Good luck!:)

authorial aside  Also called editorializing.  It is a written digression, a time in a novel, when the author steps outside the story, speaking directly to the reader.  example- "The silence of the forest was more oppressive than the heat, and at this hour of day there was not even the whine of insects."  William Golding  Lord of the Flies    "Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledgeóbroad, deep knowledgeóis to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low."  Helen Keller

The "stick sharpened at both ends" is a reference to what they did with the Lord of the Flies, impaling one end in the head and the other in the ground. This shows the brutality of what they planned to do to Ralph, who indeed felt like a pig being hunted by the savages. The fire set on the entire island shows the tribe's complete lack of foresight, as if they were not rescued, they would have no food or shelter. Ironically, the fire meant for evil started by Jack turned out to be what got the boys saved. The arrival of the Naval officer thus seems like a happy and ironic ending, but if one digs deeper it is just a continuation from one war to another. Once all the boys get on the Navy cruiser, they'll most likely just be subjected to more battle and fighting, this time on a worldwide level, due to the war taking place in the outside world.

OK, here it is in a brief synopsis:\n\n1984 warns of the terrifying dangers that man may create for himself in his quest for a utopian society.  It warns that people might believe that everyone must become slaves to the government in order to have an orderly society, but at the expense of the freedom of the people.
