Ava Modin 4th hour LINC Escape The pouring rain crashed down onto the dark, cold grounds and smashed against anything in it’s path. It was a monster which would soak anything and the poor dog was a victim. Rufus laid upon the doubtful and depressing ground of the dark and gloomy alley as the hunger and bitter emptiness clenched his stomach like a fist pounding up against the inside of him. The dog hadn’t eaten in over a week and was starving. He rested upon the dumpster while the unbearable smell outrageously and unbearably came across his nose. Hours later, the hungry and soaking wet dog drifted into a faint sleep. Rufus awoke to gleaming lights burning his eyes as he heard a loud screech of a van coming to a halt in the dark alley.

Through the rain he could make out the words Kansas City pound engraved in the side of the appalling van. While, the dog knew he must get away he also knew that it was much too late. Rufus was too weak to run and by the time the worrisome dog could stand up the man had already stepped out and was marching toward the dumpster that he laid upon. The monstrous, awful man stood over him with the aggressive leash and the small frightened dog knew from there that he would be condemned into the dark and evil pound. “Come on!” the man barked. “Let’s go you wretched dog!” The man attached the stinging, metal leash tightly around the dog’s neck and with no problem tossed the dog harshly into the back of the dark van. He got in and made the van halt thrusting the dog against the walls as he accelerated speeding off into the dark. Rufus had hoped of it never coming to this but as he sat in the back of the van his heart slammed against his chest like a hammer …show more content…

The dog padded wearily, thinned to the bone, covered with sores. It tracked mud on the carpet. Behind it whirred the angry robot mice, angry at having to pick up mud and maple leaves, which, carried to the burrows, were dropped down from cellar tubes into an incinerator which sat like an evil Baal in a dark corner. The dog ran upstairs, hysterically yelping at each door. It pawed the kitchen door wildly.

Bradbury characterizes the firefighters in Fahrenheit 451 as unoriginal duplicates in this passage by utilising sight and smell imagery as well as rhetorical questions to make apparent the uniformity of the society and its connection to the loss of individual identity. The characterization of Bradbury’s firefighters is accomplished through imagery to prove the uniformity of society. Having all firefighters look the same creates a certain distance between them and the rest of society, this alienation allows for easier/greater control over both the firefighters and the general population, which in turn . The firefighters were described extensively in this passage with major similarities to the fires they are responsible for, “their charcoal

People tend to create a first opinion of something depending on how it looks like. In “The Dog of Caucomgomoc” by Boardman Hawes, people start to create fake myths about this dog after the death of his master, all of this because of his scary appearance. Only Gordon Low, the man who saw how this dog took care of his owner, knows his real personality, and finally will show the world they were wrong. Through the reactions of the afraid dog to the inhabitants, "The Wild Dog of Caucomgomoc" explores how fear can show a wrong facet of a person making others judge by first appearances. After the death of the dog’s master, Boardman Hawes shows how the people start saying that now this dog has something “sombre” only because his owner had it (Paragraph 5).
The dog also smells familiar scents that remind him where he is at, and helps him make his next move,

In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury used the TV walls, the seashell radios, and the Green Bullet to predict the use of mass media to influence the American Population. One of the ways that Bradbury uses technology to predict its influence on the American society is the TV walls.
Dinner was magnificently delicious. The turkey, cooked perfectly, had a smooth texture, with juices packed with flavor running down my mouth onto my plate.

Fahrenheit 451 Essay “I can't talk to the walls because they're yelling at me. I can't talk to my wife; she listens to the walls. I just want someone to hear what I have to say” (Bradbury, Shmoop). Today, the modern world is eerily similar to the corrupted society of Fahrenheit 451; this is especially true with this quote.
The dog abandons the body without a second thought to find other humans that can provide it with warmth and food because The Man no longer can. This demonstrates that the dog is able to survive because he is adapted to the environment while The Man dies because he is unaware of the power of
For the aroma descending from the delightful little shoppe, could make anybody striding by becoming suddenly voracious.

A memorable and heavenly man aroma filled the air. The smell of cherry, wintergreen, apple, and butternut flavoured pipe and tobacco smoke mixed with the scent of hair tonics, pomades, oils, and neck powders. These aromas became ingrained in the wood and every cranny of the shop. The moment a man stepped inside, he was enveloped in the warm and welcoming familiarity. He was immediately able to relax, and as soon as the hot lather hit his face, his cares would simply melt away.”
