  • Essay / Fahrenheit 451 - 2009

    “You took all the pills in your bottle last night. » "Oh, I wouldn't do that." » “The bottle was empty. » "I wouldn't do something like that." » . Why should I do such a thing? she said.1B. This part is important because it shows how different a hospital is in this timeline. The hospital alone seems very menacing and the process of saving Mildred is very gruesome. Phrases that make it seem like this are: “Has he drunk the darkness?” Did he suck up all the poisons accumulated over the years? These give the scene a very dreadful feel.
