1. What's the allusion?
2. What's the context?
3. To what is it alluding?
4. How does it tie into the story? (This is your opinion.)
This is your sixth journal, so you know that work must be 100% complete for credit (not 99% or less).
Table of Contents for Journal #6:
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.
Journal Grading: Thursday, 3/29

F451 Allusions You Need to Know
F451 Allusions
This is a list of all the allusions.
They're pretty darn important for understanding the book.
It's ok if you're overwhelmed by them; many of them will be unfamiliar to you. Please look them up anyway.
This list is based on the second link (on the list in the left margin). Let me know if there are any errors from my cutting and pasting (sometimes things disappear).
The ones in pink italics are the ones on which I'll test you.
