Ray Bradbury is the author of the book Fahrenheit 451. The book is about a character named montag who is in a society that values books to be illegal and therefore a team of people called firemen go to houses to burn all reported book sightings. Montag eventually realizes that there is an importance in the books and tries to go against the ways in the society.

Chapter one is the hearth and the salamander which symbolizes montag as he is the creature, the salamander, which is a fire resistant lizard. The sieve and the sand represent Montag’s mind as he attempts to attain knowledge but society is stopping him and his mind is actually at the moment incapable of taking in the knowledge. Burning bright is a symbolism for montag and his mind as he actually starts to become wise and is thinking for himself and getting the questions and answers that he wants.
