Blood (Chemistry I)
Blood: Life/vitality & death/alienation
1)The key components of blood are basically Plasma(55%) and Cellular Components (4596).
The key components of Plasma include water, proteins(Albumin, Globulins, Fibrinogen),
electrolytes(Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Phosphate),
Nutrients(Glucose, Amino Acids, Fatty Acids, Vitamins), waste products(Urea, Carbon Dioxide)
and hormones. The cellular components of blood include red blood cells(Erythrocytes), white
blood cells(Leukocytes) and Platelets(Thrombocytes).
2) Hemoglobin makes blood look red. It is a complex protein found in red blood cells.
3) Blood symbolizes the human essence, life and vitality in his novel. It also symbolizes the
rebirth of the protagonist Guy Montag who tries to find the truth of life and emotional
intensity.
4) Montag's intellectual and emotional transformation metaphorically mirrors metabolic
changes. When Montag experiences a rush of blood or a beating heart stand in stark contrast,
he confronts awakening of true feelings.
5) Quote "This machine pumped all of the blood from the body and replaced it with fresh
blood and serum" (Bradbury 12).
Blood is a symbol of life/vitality and death/alienation. It's also connected to the inner
awakening and intellectual rebirth of characters of novel such as Montag. In the quote above
Montag's wife receives a blood transfusion. It embodies multiple layers of symbolism,
particularly reflecting on modem society's alienation(death), and the potential for human
nature's recuperation related to vitality.
6) Yes. The novel's primary focus is on the dangers of censorship and the quest for knowledge. I was able to understand the there of the story due to the chemical analysis related to symbols
such as blood, fire, light, etc.
7) Mankind has always possessed a quest for the knowledge.
Snake (Chemistry I)
Most snake venoms contain proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes catalyze the digestion of tissue proteins and peptides into amino acids. For the chemical formula of proteolytic enzymes, there are more than one. For the most common ones, we have
Trypsin: C63H99N170135.
Chymotrypsin: C63H89N170135
The property is essential for the venom's ability to cause tissue damage and facilitate the spread of toxins within the body. In our novel, the snake is a symbol of censorship and control since Montag describes the firehose as a spitting python. We can relate this to the property of a snake's venom, its ability to damage and control the physical organs, that might lead you to death, which can also be related to censorship, snakes are depicted as a tool for censoring, snakes often kill people by spreading its venom.
The snake basically plays the role of a fool for burning books, censorship. In the perspective of Montag, those fire hoses, kerosene spitting pythons are like the gen of evilness, danger and burnings.
At first, I didn't know what kerosene was and later, after some research; I could find out its uses, potentials, possibilities of reactions in terms of chemistry.
Bites of venomous snakes can lead to serious medical emergencies, including paralysis, bleeding disorders, kidney failure, tissue damage, and the potential need for limb amputation.
In the novel, the snake is also related to kerosene. The author compared a fire hose to a great python that is spitting venomous kerosene. A similarity between kerosene and snake venom in terms of chemical) reactions is toxicity, While kerosene toxicity generally results from its direct effects on tissues and organs, snake venom toxicity involves a complex interplay of various venom components targeting different physiological systems.
We could investigate more about the symbolization of the snake and its association with firemen and elements in the novel, including kerosene and chemical information within it.
Light (Chemistry I)
Title: Chemical Analysis of the Literary Symbols
1) Investigate the scientific aspects of light, including its properties and behavior.
Light exhibits wave-particle duality, acting as both electromagnetic waves and discrete particles known as photons. Its properties include a vacuum speed of about 299,792,458 meters per second, as well as diffraction, polarization, and dispersion. These characteristics underpin a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, spectroscopy, imaging, and quantum technologies.
2) How does this scientific knowledge align with the symbolism of light in Fahrenheit 451?
In "Fahrenheit 45l, " light symbolizes knowledge and enlightenment, reflecting its scientific properties as an illuminating force. The pursuit of knowledge in the novel parallels the scientific quest for understanding, while characters grapple with the consequences of embracing or rejecting enlightenment, mirroring broader societal themes explored by Bradbury.
3) Are there specific chemical processes or reactions related to light that are relevant to the story?
The story revolves around the burning of books, which involves the combustion of paper. Combustion is a chemical process where a substance reacts with oxygen, releasing heat and light. Although the focus is not on the chemical reactions themselves, the burning of books and the imagery of fire symbolize the destruction of knowledge and the suppression of enlightenment. so, while not directly related to the properties or behavior of light, these references to combustion and fire do have chemical elements intertwined with the broader thematic exploration of knowledge and ignorance in the novel.
4)Explore how the symbolism of light reflects themes such as enlightenment, knowledge, or awareness in the novel.
In "Fahrenheit 451," light represents enlightenment and the pursuit of knowledge in a dystopian society plagued by censorship. Characters such as Guy Montag go on a transformative journey of understanding, in contrast to darkness, which represents pervasive ignorance and conformity. Light acts as a beacon of resistance to intellectual suppression, guiding characters toward truth and awareness. Ray Bradbury's symbolism highlights the transformative power of knowledge against a backdrop of societal decay and the desire for human connection.
5)Were you able to understand the symbolism of the book better due to the chemical analysis? Explain.
Honestly, the light in Fahrenheit 451 mainly contain about the main character, Montag's feeling. so, it doesn't make better to understand the symbolism better. However, It was good experience to think in different way.
6) Summarize your findings in one sentence.
Montag's fascination with the moon as a symbol of curiosity and enlightenment, the metaphorical "light" of knowledge emanating from books, and the beacon of hope represented by the distant light of intellectuals who memorize and preserve literature in the midst of a dark and ignorant society.
Books (Chemistry I)
Examine the chemical composition of paper and ink used in book production. How does this relate to the symbolic importance of books in Fahrenheit 451?
Books are able to be quickly damaged by fire due to the chemical makeup of paper and ink, which are cellulose fibers and a mixture of pigments, solvents, and additives. In "Fahrenheit 451," these weak parts stand in sharp contrast to books' deep symbolic significance of culture, knowledge, and different viewpoints in a society where information is censored and governed.
What are the different properties of the paper before burning and the resulting ashes? What causes the paper to turn black?
Paper is mostly made of cellulose fibers, which give it strength and flexibility, when it is not in flames. After burning, paper turns into ash, which is a light, fine powder made up of carbon an minerals that didn't burn. When paper burns and turns black, that is because the heat breaks down the paper and leaves carbon and that makes it black.
Are there chemical reactions associated with the burning of books in the story? How do they contribute to the symbolism of censorship and control?
Yes. The burning of books in "Fahrenheit 451" involves chemical reactions, such as combustion, where paper reacts with oxygen, water, and ash, furthermore releasing heat and light. Combustion symbolizes the falling of knowledge and culture under censorship and control in society "Fahrenheit 451." From the very beginning, where Montag takes pride in burning books as a fireman, to the climax where he realizes the value of the knowledge they contain, the destruction of books by fire is a central theme.
Explore the chemical components of knowledge and information as represented by books in the novel.
In "Fahrenheit 451." knowledge and information are physically carried by the chemical components of books, especially paper and ink. When imprinted with text, they take on symbolic meaning connected with human philosophy, society, and history.
Were you able to understand the symbolism of the book better due to chemical analysis? Explain.
In the context of the book, if we're discussing chemical analysis, it might have the burning point of paper, which is approximately 451 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature represents the incineration of ideas and books in the dystopia the novel portrays. Therefore, chemical analysis essentially clarifies th the title and its relationship to the themes of knowledge suppression
Summarize your findings in one sentence.
In "Fahrenheit 451," the physical weakness of books which are composed of cellulose and ink to fire represents the vulnerability of culture and knowledge in a society where censorship restricts different viewpoints.
River (Chemistry I)
1) What are the physical and chemical properties of water? Find their chemical formula and molecular structure as well.
The water made of two hydrogen and one oxygen atom 'H2O' is a clear liquid that can dissolve many things and is essential for life. Its molecules stick together, forming drops, and it freezes into ice when cold.
2) Analyze the chemical properties of water and its role in sustaining life. How does this relate to the symbolic use of a river in Fahrenheit 451?
The water helps living things stay alive because it can mix with many things and do reactions. In Fahrenheit 451, the river means starting over and being free from society's rules, showing how learning and thinking for yourself can change everything.
3) Are there chemical processes or reactions associated with the cleansing or purifying aspects of water that connect to the narrative?
Water can be cleaned by trapping dirt and other substances, sometimes altering them to make them safer. In Fahrenheit 451, the river represents washing away bad thoughts and becoming free from rules, showing how learning can change people for the better.
4) Explore how the river symbolizes rebirth, renewal, or escape in the context of the story.
In the book, the river symbolizes escape because Montag is able to escape from the chase of Mechanical Hound by making the Mechanical hound lose the scent of him by jumping into the river. Montag swims through the river toward the riverbank, and at the riverbank, Montag finds a group of intellectuals.The river also symbolizes rebirth and renewal as Montag leaves behind the life that he used to live and when he finishes swimming and reaches the riverbank, he is basically is starting a new life.
5) Were you able to understand the symbolism of the book better due to the chemical analysis? Explain.
Yes, I could understand how the river and Fahrenheit 451 are related. Montag loved books but the country did not allow them so he wanted to read books freely. So his plan was putting books in every firefighter's house so that their house could be burned. but because Mildren turned on the alarm, his plan got exposed by Beatty. So Montag burned him and escaped the country by swimming across the river. Montag crossed the river to be free which is the meaning of river Fahrenheit 451
6) Summarize your finding in one sentence
River is consist of H20 and means to escape for free.
Fire (Chemistry II)
1) Fire Chemistry
Combustion Reaction: Fuel + Oxygen -> Heat,
Light, CO2, H20
Fuel Example: Cellulose (C6H1005) in wood and paper (diagram of the molecule)
Fire is a rapid oxidation process, not a physical object.
2) Fire Symbolism
Fragile Knowledge: Easily combustible books represent the vulnerability of information. Incomplete Cleansing: Fire removes some things (ashes) but leaves pollutants and ignorance.
TheBurning Truth: Fire destroys knowledge, highlighting the hypocrisy of a society "cleansing" itself through censorship.
3) Enhanced Understanding through Chemical Analysis
Yes. By understanding the ease with which fire consumes books (fuel properties), we appreciate the vulnerability of knowledge and the finality of burning books in the story.
4) Physical and Chemical Properties of Fire
Fire is not a physical object, but a rapid oxidation process. It has no definite shape or volume. It is characterized by high temperatures, light emission, and the breaking of chemical bonds in the fuel.
5) Summary
Analyzing fire's chemistry reveals the fragility of knowledge (books) being destroyed and the irony of fire being used for "cleansing" in a society that suppresses information.

WHAT MAKES BLOOD RED?
Blood looks red due to the presence of hemoglobin in our red blood cells, which is a protein that contains iron, in our red blood cells.
WERE YOU ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE SYMBOLISM OF THE BOOK BETTER DUE TO THE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS? EXPLAIN.
We were able to understand the symbol "blood" of the book better due to the chemical analysis because it allowed us to realize the physiological functions of blood components to the theme of life, vitality, and death.
Summarize your findings in one sentence.
Overall, the symbol "blood" in Fahrenheit 451 has 4 main components, plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Each of the components play a significant role in the novel. Also, the novel reflects the chemical reactions and processes in the human body. Moreover, the representation of blood connects to the theme of life, vitality and death.
Snake (Chemistry II)
Q: What kind of venom does a snake use?
• Tirophiban (C22H36N205S)
• enalaprilat(C18H24N205)
• eptifibatide(C35H49N110952)
• captopril(C9H15NOSS)
Q: How does a snake inject venom?
According to the website “Let’s talk science”,”When a snake bites, muscles in its head squeeze the venom glands. This pushes the liquid through its fang muscles in its head to squeeze the venom glands”.
Q: How does it affect the human body?
Snake venom Uses Densins. "which are small proteins that host defense peptides and have antimicrobial and/or immune signaling activities. They use Na+ and k+ channels of plasma membranes, including that of muscle cells (the sarcolemma), and accumulate in the lysosomes, causing analgesic, neurotoxic, myotoxic and cytotoxic effects" (nature.com).
Symbolism
In Fahrenheit 451, Mildred, the wife of the protagonist Montag, takes sleeping pills too much, and she almost dies. Montag calls the ambulance and they use a machine called a snake. That snake is a stomach pump, that can help people in dangerous situations. Like putting it in a human's body, snakes inject venom into the human body like that.
Parallel metaphorical significance
In the novel, the snake represents censorship. Because Montag says the fire hose looks like the spit of a python. In our world, sometimes, when people use chemicals that are very dangerous to our bodies, we use the snake venom symbol. which is a warning sign for people.
<-- Like this. This gives a warning to people, so it gives a "message", saying that this is dangerous. This also shows the symbol of censorship, so people can avoid this chemical.
Summarization
Montag explains that the fire hose is like the python's spit, which is the venom that the snake has, which symbolizes censorship since the firehose burns people's books, and that emphasizes the censorship, which is quite similar to the modern sign of a snake which gives warning to people so that people can avoid this dangerous venom or anything, so it can make people safe, which is also a part of censorship.

Light (Chemistry II)
WHAT IS LIGHT?
Light: Electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation describes fluctuations of electric and magnetic fields, transporting energy at the speed of light(3.00x10^8 m/s). Light can also be described in a stream of photons (the smallest quantity of energy that can be transported), each traveling with wavelike properties.
HOW IS LIGHT RELEVANT TO THE STORY?
In the story, the image of light is used to show an element of protection, enlightenment or knowledge. There are scenes in the story in which firemen burn the books rather than putting out the fire, using flamethrowers to destroy them. Though the scene is not directly related to chemical reactions involving light, fire itself is a chemical reaction that emits light and heat.
WHAT DOES LIGHT SYMBOLIZE IN FAHRENHEIT 451?
In "Fahrenheit 451", light symbolizes enlightenment, knowledge, and awareness. Light depicts individuals waking up to what is going on, and realizing what is happening, and standing up against being controlled in a society that prevents people from thinking freely. The light represents how people began to grasp vital things and struggle against terrible rules, emphasizing that knowledge is powerful and can help remove things. After knowing how the light symbolizes important concepts and how it is related to the theme, we could understand the overall story better.
Books (Chemistry II)
1) Chemical composition and symbolism
Composition of book: Paper and ink (with cellulose and various pigments.
Symbolism: Fragility and impermanence of knowledge with censorship Paper burns easily, Ink fades too, Ideas can be eradicate and manipulated
C6H1005+602-6C02+5H20
Properties:
Paper transformation o solid-> ash caused by combustion reactions with char cellulose, reflecting the destruction of knowledge Blackening of paper-> carbonization, reflecting consequences of ignorance.
2) Chemical reactions and Symbolism
Combustion: symbolizes the radication of thought and control over social intellect This process is not only representing the physical destruction of books but also the broader theme of dissenting ideas of the whole society.
Understanding Symbolism:
We were able to understand the symbolism of the book. This was because of understanding the chemical breakdown of paper and ink during burning, we can see a literal representation of the loss of knowledge and ideas when books are destroyed. This represents the symbolic weight of book burning in the story.
3) Summarization
The chemical summarization of books highlights the permanence of information loss through burning, which would emphasize the attraction of censorship and the importance of preserving knowledge in Fahrenheit 451.
Components
Books: chemical makeup is the metaphor for complexity and richness of knowledge. Each book, then with its unique composition of materials, symbolizing the diverse and complex nature of human understanding and culture of human society

Fire (Chemistry III)
1) WHAT CHEMICAL REACTIONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH CREATING FIRE? WHat ARE THE REACTANTS AND OTHER PRODUCTS? WHAT IS THE GENERAL CHEMICAL EQUATION IN BOTH FORMULAS AND WORDS?
It needs to have fuel, heat, and oxygen in order to cause burning. Fire occurs because of the combustion. During the combustion, the fuel, such as wood or paper, combines with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, water, and some other kinds of elements too.
Equation for the combustion is ...2H20 + heat - H20 (g)
Hydrogen and Oxygen combine to form water vapor.
2) WHAT ARE THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF FIRE
Physical: Fire has a very high temperature. It can be 500°C (932°F) to over 1,000°C (1,832°F). And also, fire emits the light. And for the density, it has lower density than air. It is because fire is also considered as gas.
Chemical: It involves rapid oxidation of fuel in order to produce fire. The color of the flame The colors are often red, orange, and yellow. The color of the flame depends on how hot the fire is. Basically, it change due to the temperature of the flame.
3) HOW DO THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS FOR CREATING FIRE RELATE TO THE PORTRAYAL OF FIRE IN FAHRENHEIT 451?
In Fahrenheit 451, fire is used to burn the books. It shows in the novel that the books are burnt. It means the chemical reaction between the book and fire is happening.
4) EXPLORE THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF DIFFERENT FUELS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE SYMBOLISM OF FIRE IN THE NOVEL.
Methane(CH4): It is a simple hydrocarbon atom. Its molecular structure is tetrahedral. It has an angle of 109.5'.
Propane(C3H8): Propane is a three-carbon hydrocarbon that consists of a straight chain of three carbon atoms bonded to eight hydrogen atoms. It also has the shape of a tetrahedral.
Heptane(C7H16): Heptane is a seven-carbon hydrocarbon. If we make one carbon as the center, its shape is also tetrahedral. It is an alkane
Fuels are very easily burnt. And it reacts violently with fire. And it made it easier for
firemans to burn the books. If there were no fuels, they should've done it harder.
5) IN “FAHRENHEIT 451,” FIRE SERVES TO BURN BOOKS AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY THE ASSERTION THAT “FIRE IS CLEAN!” DISCUSS THE CHEMICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HOW FIRE CAN FUNCTION AS A CLEANING AGENT. IN OTHER WORDS, HOW DOES THE CONCEPT OF FIRE SYMBOLIZE DESTRUCTION AND PURIFICATION IN THE STORY?
In the book, they say fire is clean. It is because fire is the way that we can destroy things without working hard. If we burn something, we can just sweep the leftover ashes after some hours. From a chemical perspective, fire has the ability to oxidize, or burn materials. And also, fire can be seen as a powerful tool for breaking down complex materials into simpler components.
7) SUMMARIZE YOUR FINDINGS IN ONE SENTENCE.
Fire is a very dangerous and harmful substance. But on the other hand, it can be a very good source to destroy something. It is the reason why they used fire in the book. Fire can be clean and easy to wrap up. And connection between chemistry and literature is shown in this book very well.

AS MONTAG SEARCHES DEEPER INTO HIS QUEST FOR TRUTH, BLOOD BECOMES A MOTIF, SYMBOLIZING HIS EVOLUTIONARY THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS. IN THE CLIMAX ART OF THE STORY. MONTAG IS CHASED BY A MECHANICAL WHILE HE GETS HURT AND ENDS UP WITH BLOOD ON THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT HIS PHYSICAL INJURIES: IT REPRESENTS HOW DEEPLY HE'S CHANGED INSIDE. IN THIS SCARY MOMENT. MONTAG SUDDENLY UNDERSTANDS CLEARLY WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO. HE REALIZES HE CAN'T SIT BACK AND IGNORE THE UNFAIRNESS AROUND HIM MORE. THIS IS A TURNING POINT FOR HIM, WHERE HE DECIDES TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST INJUSTICE.
ARE THERE ANY CHEMICAL REACTIONS OR PROCESSES IN THE HUMAN BODY THAT ARE METAPHORICALLY REFLECTED IN THE NOVEL'S USE OF BLOOD?
IN THE HUMAN BODY, RED BLOOD CELLS WITHIN BLOOD ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CARRYING AND BINDING OXYGEN TO THE BLOODSTREAM. WHICH THEN TRANSPORTED IT TO ALL THE PARTS OF THE BODY. THIS PROCESS IS ESSENTIAL FOR HUMAN LIFE. SIMILARLY, IN THE NOVEL. THE PRESENCE OF BOOKS CAN BE SEEN AS OXYGEN FOR THE HUMAN. THE BURNING OF BOOKS BY THE GOVERNMENT CARRIES OFF THE SOCIETY LIKE OXYGEN. LEADING TO CHAOS AND SUFFOCATION.
HOW DOES THE REPRESENTATION OF BLOOD CONNECT TO THEMES OF LIFE, VITALITY, OR DEATH IN THE STORY?
IN 'FAHRENHEIT 451." BLOOD CONNECTS TO THE DEATH OF LIFE BY SYMBOLIZING THE DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY CENSORSHIP. WHEN BOOKS ARE BURNED AND KNOWLEDGE IS TAKEN AWAY. IT'S LIKE CUTTING OFF THE LIFEBLOOD OF SOCIETY. BLOOD REPRESENTS THIS LOSS OF VITALITY AND THE DEATH OF KNOWLEDGE FREEDOM, SHOWING THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF SUPPRESSING HUMAN THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION.

Light (Chemistry III)
1) light of property and behavior
Light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties, known as wave-particle duality, and travels at a constant speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum.it can be reflected, refracted, and dispersed, with its energy quantized into discrete packets called photons, while interactions with matter can result in absorption and emission
2) scientific knowledge align with the symbolism of light
In "Fahrenheit 451," light is like knowing things and seeing clearly, showing what's right and wrong in a world where people are kept in the dark. It's like a symbol for understanding and truth, shining a bright light on the problems in society. Characters like Montag try to bring light to the darkness by finding out the truth and standing up against the rules that keep people ignorant
3) chemical process of light
In "Fahrenheit 451," the burning of books at 451 degrees Fahrenheit symbolizes the suppression of knowledge and ideas. While there aren't specific chemical reactions related to light discussed, the destruction of books reflects a societal erosion of enlightenment and understanding.
4) symbolism of light reflects themes
In "Fahrenheit 451," light symbolizes understanding and awareness, shining a bright light on the ignorance of society. Just like how light reveals things hidden in the shadows, knowledge exposes the problems in the world of the novel. Characters like Montag strive to bring light to the darkness
5) better understand by chemical analysis
No, looking at chemicals doesn't really help us understand what the symbols mean in "Fahrenheit 451." The book's symbols, like burning books and the darkness of ianorance, are more about ideas and what they represent in the story, rather than chemical reactions
6) summarize
Light in "Fahrenheit 451" stands for understanding and seeing clearly, showing what's right and wrong in a world where people are kept in the dark, while the burning of books symbolizes the suppression of knowledge and ideas, but looking at chemicals doesn't really help us understand what the symbols mean.
Books (Chemistry III)
1) EXAMINE THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF PAPER AND INK USED IN BOOK PRODUCTION. HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO THE SYMBOLIC IMPORTANCE OF BOOKS IN FAHRENHEIT 451?
The chemical composition of paper is a mixture of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and/or different lignin compounds. And the chemical composition of ink used in book production is solvents, resins, alcohol, lubricants, carbon, pigments, dyes, and other materials.
In Fahrenheit 451, burning books is oppression of literature reflects a society's fear of opposing ideas and different perspectives. Therefore chemical composition of paper and ink used in book production can symbolize suppressing human creativity.
2) WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT PROPERTIES OF THE PAPER BEFORE BURNING AND THE RESULTING ASHES? WHAT CAUSES THE PAPER TURN BLACK?
The physical properties of paper are determined by basis weight, thickness, smoothness, rigidity, roughness, and porosity. The chemical properties are oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. However, the physical properties of ashes are heavy and hard.
The chemical properties are carbon, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. Burning removes water from the paper and it makes the color of the paper change to black and it appears to be burnt.
3) ARE THERE CHEMICAL REACTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BURNING OF BOOKS IN THE STORY? HOW DO THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE SYMBOLISM OF CENSORSHIP AND CONTROL?
Yes, in the story, the firemans are burning the books. It can symbolize censorship and control because the reason for the burning of books in the story is because the government is trying to stop people from reading and this is suppressing freedom.
4) EXPLORE THE CHEMICAL COMPONENTS OF KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION AS REPRESENTED BY BOOKS IN THE NOVEL.
Knowledge and information is a book. The chemical components of the book are paper and it is made of Hypochlorous acid, Calcium Oxide, and Calcium Carbonate.
5) WERE YOU ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE SYMBOLISM OF THE BOOK BETTER DUE TO THE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS? EXPLAIN.
Yes, before I did this chemical analysis, I did not think about the deep meaning of the burning books. However, after this chemical analysis, I realized that the burning book can be the suppression of freedom of knowledge. I realized this by searching and studying the relation of chemical analysis and symbolism of the burning book.
6) SUMMARIZE YOUR FINDING IN ONE SENTENCE.
• Chemical composition of paper and ink used in book production is related to symbolism of the burning books in the Fahrenheit 451 which is the repression of freedom of getting knowledge.
River (Chemistry III)
1) WATER'S MOLECULAR FORMULA IS H2O AND ITS PHYSICAL PROPERTIES INCLUDE A FREEZING POINT OF O CELSIUS AND A BOILING POINT OF 100C. THIS COMBINATION ENABLES WATER TO MAINTAINS ITS STABILITY WHEN FACED WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES AND TEMPERATURES.
2) WATER LATER BECOMES ESSENTIAL TO MONTAG BY PROVIDING DRINKING WATER AND ALSO HELPS HIM TO CLEAN HIMSELF- CLOTHES. ABILITY ALSO HELPS ANIMALS AND HUMANS REGULATE THEIR BODY TEMPERATURES.
3) WATER MAKES UP ROUGHLY TWO-THIRDS OF THE LIQUID IN THE HUMAN BODY, SO IT IS ESSENTIAL. WATER HAS THE ABILITY TO CLEAN AND SYMBOLIZES REBIRTH, A RIVER IS THE SYMBOL OF FAST MOVING WATERS, ALSON-OCHERISESITANCEE MATSOLVERLOPLESS AND OTHER HYDROPHILIC SUBSTANCES ARE EASILY DISSOLVED IN WATER. SINCE A RIVER IS FULL OF RUNNING WATER, THERE IS CONSTANT SOURCE OF NEW WATER.
4) WATER IS ABLE TO PUT OUT FIRE BY ABSORBING THE HEAT THAT FUELS THE FIRE. THIS ABILITY ALSO HELPS ANIMALS AND HUMANS REGULATE THEIR BODY TEMPERATURES.
5) YES, I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE SYMBOLISM OF RIVER IN FAHRENHEIT 451 TO MONTAG. MOREOVER CHEMICAL ANALYSIS HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND THE CHEMISTRY BEHIND RIVER AND HOW IT. LASTLY, ON PART THREE, THERE A PART WHERE MONTAG WASHES HIS CLOTH IN THE RIVER. FROM CHEMISTRY I UNDERSTOOD HOW H20 PURIFIED OBJECTS AND WHY IT REPRESENTS PURIFICATION
6) TO SUMMARIZE THIS PROJECT, I HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM RESEARCHING ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY BEHIND RIVER AND THE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS THAT MAKES SUSTAINABLE FOR LIFE.

Fire (East Asian IIII)
In Korean culture the fire symbolizes two main things, vital force, destructive power and connection. The symbolization of vital force originated from the blaze of fire and the symbolization of destructive power originated from defeating evil forces. Also, the symbolization of connection originated from the tradition, chesa. During chesa, people burn incense known as “hyang” to communicate heaven and earth, the earth and the earth, the living and the dead. The symbolic meaning of fire is shown in traditional games. For example, between villages there was a torch fight which was an event to drive away evil spirits with fire and pray for New Year's farming and good luck.

As a result of China’s strong family values that asserts that children are deferential to parents—especially the father—giving away blood was culturally forbidden.
Snake (East Asian IV) (E
In Korean culture the snake symbolizes immortality, patience. The symbolization of immortality came from two concepts, the zodiac and shedding. The snake is the 6th animal of the zodiac. Besides, the snake sheds its slough every period of time which symbolizes rebirth. The symbolization of patience originated from the Korean legend of a snake turning into a dragon. The snake turns into a huge serpent and patiently waits a thousand years underwater in order to be a dragon.
Light (East Asian IV)
Buddhism, in Chinese culture, associates lanterns with light and wisdom. Lanterns and lamps have been a part of Chinese culture for generations, coming in a variety of designs and materials.

A lengthy marriage was represented if they went out at the same time. Additionally, a pregnant woman's bed is decorated with lanterns. Lanterns are symbolic of celebration in China. Lanterns have special significance on the Feast of the Lanterns, which is held in the first Chinese month. They serve as markers for both visitors and the spirits of the deceased.
Books
In Korean culture, books symbolize knowledge and uniformity. The symbolization of knowledge comes from the book's nature, to contain knowledge. For example, Dong-uibogam is a series of medical books written by Heo Jun, royal physician of Joseon dynasty. The symbolization of uniformity originated from the creation of the book. After the creation of words in order to share the uniformed character, people needed objects to write one to. When the system was established among the objects, books were created.
Rivers (East Asian IV)
Rivers symbolize the flow of life, the passage of time, and the ever-changing nature of existence. They represent purification, renewal, and the washing away of impurities. Rivers are also seen as pathways for spiritual journeys, guiding souls to the afterlife.
