ESSAY

Option 1: Describe the difference in Ray Bradbury's tone with regard to Clarisse & Beatty. Support your analysis with examples of Bradbury's diction and detail.

Do you sing? There are varies ways of saying something with varies different pitches. In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, written in 1953, he uses a different kind of tones on different characters that he made up for his story. His tone towards Clarisse and Beatty were two different tones because one of the characters, Bradbury likes to write about (Clarisse) and the other he does not because in his work it sounds like he hates that character (Beatty). Every day in our life we use a tone when we speak and talk to one another and also tone is everywhere from books to movies and songs. Ray Bradbury's tone towards Clarisse is positive and it’s a little negative towards Beatty. 

Bradbury's book Fahrenheit 541 had many touching moments where he used many different tones such as sad, happy for the moments that were happening in the specific moment in the book. His tone towards the characters Clarisse and Beatty are one that he written in almost two different tones because of who he wants the characters to become in the book. We get introduced to Clarisse as this 17-yearr old that doesn't seem all that crazy because when Montag asks her how old is she, she response "I'm seventeen and I'm crazy". This is part of Bradbury's tone because after this sentence Montag and Clarisse talk about fireman's and how reading books are against the law. In each of the following sentence, Bradbury's describes Clarisse by her asking questions that other people won't normally ask in their society like "Are you happy?".  

His tone towards Beatty is in a more aggressive way because I think that’s what he wanted the reader to know about Beatty that he is a big tough guy the bosses people around and makes them listen and obey to him without them asking why. When Beatty arrived to check in Montag for why he didn't show up to work we got a tip on Bradbury's tone towards him, " "Shut the 'relatives' up," said Beatty, looking around at everything except Montag and his wife. This time, Mildred ran. The yammering voices stopped yelling in the parlour." In this sentence, Bradbury's perspective towards Beatty is to make him look like a big tough guy that makes people do as he wants. This is a very mean and kind of mad tone because the tone is deep because Beatty told Mildred to turn off the relatives and she ran off to do it because she knows Beatty doesn't like to be played with or anything. 

Ray Bradbury's tone towards Clarisse is positive and it’s a little negative towards Beatty. In both of these character's Bradbury's tone is like any other author's tone towards their characters because all authors use their own tone to tell us the reader who that author is and how he is part of the book or his role in the book. Bradbury's tone is light and dark. His light tone is for the good that is left in the book and that is Clarisse because she is different from other people because she has read books and is social unlike Beatty that is dark because he burns books for a living and that he thinks that they are evil and the books just destroys those who read it. The tone is what decides and makes these characters who they are because with the right use of tone you can make anything seem good or bad depend on your tone and diction.
