Allusions; Table of Contents for Journal #6

The pagination (page numbering) of the allusions is slightly off. In our edition, you have to flip a few pages beyond the listed pg. # to find the actual allusion.


Use this format for explaining your allusions:


1. What's the allusion?  

  • p. 34, "First Fireman: Benjamin Franklin..."

2. What's the context?

  • Montag is asking Beatty and others if firemen ever prevented fires in the past.

3. To what is it alluding?

  • It's referring to the actual historical fact that Ben Franklin was credited with founding America's first fire brigade, but it's twisted around to say that Ben was a fire-starter, like they are.

4. How does it tie into the story? (This is your opinion.)

  • It shows how Beatty (and this society) have revised history to meet their needs; they make Ben Franklin appear to be one of them.  They have no regard for the truth. Plus, he relates the information to Montag out of a rulebook.It reinforces the idea that this society is based on rules, not freedom.
