Blood
1) The key components of blood are basically Plasma(55%) and Cellular Components(45%).
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 modemn 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 theme 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
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: C63H99N17013S.
Chymotrypsin:
C63H89N17013S.
Their molecular structure:
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.
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 tool for burning
books, censorship. In the
perspective of Montag, those
fire hoses, kerosene spitting
pythons are like the sign 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.
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
1) Investigate the scientlfic 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 451," 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.
3JAre 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
BOOKS:
FAHRENHEIT 451
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 and
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 toche il
analysis? Explain.
In the context of the book, if we're discussing chemical analysis, it might hav
the burning point of paper, which is approximately 451 degrees Fahrenheit. This
temperature represents the incineration of ideas and books in the dystoni
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

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 'H20' 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
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 in
Fahrenheit 451

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
HOW DOES THE
REPRESENTATION
OF BLOOD
CONNECT TO
THEMES OF LIFE,
VITALITY, OR
DEATH IN
FAHRENHEIT 451?
1. Life: In the book, blood symbolizes life as Montag
experiences a profound awareness of his own existence and
potential for change, shown by the rush of blood he feels
when challenging societal norms.
2. Vitality: Blood's connection to vitality is evident in Montag's
growing senses and emotional responses, showing him
changing from a conformist life to one rich with personal
discovery and emotional depth.
3. Death: Regarding death, blood underscores the brutal reality
of the society's suppressive force and the personal toll of
resisting it. This highlights the physical and existential
dangers that Montag and others face while they are arguing
for truth and freedom.
HOW DO THE BLOOD
COMPONENTS PLAY A ROLE
IN THE SYMBOLISM OF
BLOOD IN FAHRENHEIT 451?
1. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body.
As Montag becomes more aware of the
oppressive society and begins to seek knowledge
and truth, blood can be seen as a metaphor for
the awakening of his consciousness. Just as red
blood cells oxygenate the body, Montag's
exposure to books oxygenates his mind,
revitalizing his sense of humanity.
2. White blood cells defend the body against
infection and disease. This parallels Montag's
growing resistance against the societal "disease"
of censorship and conformity. As Montag's mental
immunity builds, he becomes able to combat the
destructive society.
3. Plasma transports nutrients, hormones, and
proteins throughout the body. The spread of
knowledge through books can be likened to the
circulatory system of the plasma.
4. Platelets clottes and heal wounds. This represents
the healing power of human connection and
knowledge. Montag experiences psychological
wounds by his realization of the emptiness of his
existence within the society. The books and
relationships he forms with Clarisse act as
platelets helping him to develop a new, healthier
identity.
HOW DO THE BLOOD
COMPONENTS PLAY A
ROLE IN THE
SYMBOLISM OF
BLOOD IN FAHRENHEIT
451?
1. In the novel, the speeding up of
Montag's heartbeat in moments of
realization and decision shows the
body's response, a chemical
reaction that prepares someone to
act under threat or stress. The
draining feeling of hopelessness and
fear in the face of societal pressures
can be likened to the body's
response to loss, where blood flow
to non essential areas is reduced.
This reflects the characters'
emotional and physical depletion.

in its head squeeze the venom glands.
this pushes the liquid through its
fangs muscles in its head squeeze the
venom glands".
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, nevrotoxic,
Myotoxic and cytotoxic effects"
(nature.com)
How does it
affect to
human body?
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 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
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 burns 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.

Fire
FIRE Chemistry
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
500C (932°F) to over 1,000℃ (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 changed
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 CLEANSING 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.
6) WERE YOU ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
THE SYMBOLISM OF THE BOOK BETTER
DUE TO THE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS?
EXPLAIN.
Yes, the research, the analysis made me
more professional for fire knowledge. At
first, the book felt boring but after I found
out some connections between chemistry
and literature, I found this book more
interesting and fun ..
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.

SHOWING HOW ITS LINKED TO KEEPING LIFE GOING AND
THE STRUGGLE FOR KNOWLEDGE.
Platelets
THEY ARE DISC-SHAPED CELL FRAGMENTS THAT ARE
INVOLVED IN BLOOD CLOTTING. THEY ARE NOT CELLS, AND
CONTAIN WATER. IONS, PROTEINS, AND OTHER ORGANIC
MOLECULES.
PLASMA
COMPOSED OF 90% OF WATER. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE YELLOWISH LIQUID PART OF BLOOD. THE
REMAINING PART OF ARE COMPOSED OF DISSOLVED
SOLUTES, SUCH AS IONS (SODIUM, POTASSIUM, AND
CALCIUM IONS), PROTEINS (SUCH AS ALBUMIN.
GLOBULINS. AND FIBRINOGEN), NUTRIENTS (GLUCOSE,
AMINO ACIDS. LIPIDS), WASTES (UREA, CREATININE).
AND GASES (OXYGEN AND CARBON DIOXIDE).
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 TRANSPORT 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, ITS 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.
Snake
1) What are the physical and chemical properties of snake venom? Find
their chemical formula and molecular structure as well.
The Venom name cobrotoxin's chemical formula is C277H443N97098S8
2) What are the effects of the snake venom on the human body?
When a person is bitten by a snake, the venom can cause pain, swelling,
paralysis, and sometimes death.
3) How do the chemical properties of snake venom relate to the symbolic
use of a snake in Fahrenheit 451?
At Fahrenheit 451, Mechanical hound use the venom to catch the Montag.
So Mechanical hound bite the Montag's leg to put the venom in his body.
4) Are there any chemical reactions or processes that parallel the
metaphorical significance of the snake in the novel?
At Fahrenheit 451 after Mechanical hound bite's Montag leg, Montag starts
feel sleepy and he can not use the leg well because of venom.
5) What role does the snake play in representing danger, temptation, or
corruption within the narrative?
It shows how censorship and everyone being the same can be harmful,
making people want to give up their freedom and stay ignorant instead of
standing up to controlling leaders.
6) Were you able to understand the symbolism of the book better due to the
chemical analysis? Explain.
Understanding how snake venom works helps us understand Fahrenbeit 451
better. It shows how censorship and control can be harmful, similar to
yenom hurting the body. This helps us understand the book's ideas more
7) Summarize your finding in one sentence.
The venom name Cobrotoxion of chemical formula is C277H443N97098S8 and the venom symbolize the danger and control
Light
01) 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. <
02) 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
03) 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.
04) 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
05) 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 ignorance, are more about ideas
and what they represent in the story, rather than
chemical reactions
06) 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
1 EXAMINE THE CHEMICAL COMPOSIAON OF
PAPER AND INK USED IN BOOK PRODUCAON.
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 TO 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 color of the paper changes 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
RIVER(CROSS-CURRICULAR
PROJECT)
1)
WATER'S MOLECULAR FORMULA IS H20 AND ITS
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES INCLUDE A FREEZING
POINT OF O CELSIUS AND A BOILING POINT OF
100C. THIS COMBINATION ENABLES WATER TO
MAINTAIN ITS STABILITY WHEN FACED WITH
OTHER SUBSTANCES AND TEMPERATURES.
2)
WATER LATER BECOMES ESSENTAIL TO MOTNAG BY PROVIDING
DRINKING WATER AND ALSO HELPS HIM TO CLEAN HIMESELF-
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. IT CAN SYMBOLIZE CHANGE. WATER IS COLORLESS
AND ODORLESS. IN ADDITION, IT IS AN EXCELLENT SOLVENT, DIRT
AND OTHER HYDROPHILIC SUBSTANCES ARE EASILY DISSOLVED IN
WATER. SINCE A RIVER IS FULL OF RUNNING WATER, THERE IS A.
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
FARENHEIT 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
PURFIES OBJECTS AND WHY IT REPRESENTS PURIFICATION.
6)
TO SUMMERISE THIS PROJECT, I HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM
RESEARCHING ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY BEHIND RIVER AND THE
ESSENTIAL COMPONENT'S THAT MAKES SUSTAINABLE FOR LIFE.
