Page 121 Part 3-Burning Bright
"The beetle was rushing. The beetle was roaring. The beetle raised its speed. The beetle was whining. The beetle was in high thunder. The beetle came skimming. The beetle came in a single whistling trajectory, fired from an invisible rifle. It was up to 120 mph. It was up to 130 at least. Montag clamped his jaws. The heat of the racing headlights burnt his cheeks, it seemed, and jittered his eye-lids and flushed the sour sweat out all over his body."
Montag has heard a rumor that Clarisse, his young neighbor, was hit by a car and killed.
She was almost killed when a truck hit her at the age of 2.
In the book "Fahrenheit 451," Clarisse disappears after Montag confesses to her family about his thoughts on society and books. It is implied that she was hit by a speeding car and killed, although the details are left ambiguous. Her disappearance serves as a turning point for Montag and influences his actions throughout the book.
In "Fahrenheit 451," Clarisse is killed in a hit-and-run accident by a speeding car. Her death deeply affects the protagonist, Guy Montag, and serves as a catalyst for his inner transformation and awakening. Clarisse's curious and carefree nature symbolizes a contrasting worldview to the oppressive society depicted in the novel.
She doesn't tell him that Clarisse got hit by a car and died until a couple days after it happened because she said that she forgot.
In episode 5
Montag hit a small object that clinked under his foot, which turned out to be a burden to society; a jangling of a hollow, aluminum object.
A white grayish dove almost hit my windshield while I was driving on the freeway. My boss is Catholic and said good thing I didn't hit the bird.....
no She wasn't run over, but she was hit by one; she was almost killed.
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades. It means there is no such thing as almost shot, almost in a head-on collision, almost had a heart attack, almost scored, almost sank that putt, or almost won the lottery. If a bullet misses you by an inch or a mile it makes no difference. If you almost got hit by a car, you still didn`t get hit by that car any more than you got hit by one a mile away. In other words, it means exactly what it says. Your experience of ``close``has nothing to do with the reality of ``missed.``
Highly unlikely.
of course you should report an accident even if your car is damaged its almost like a hit and run.
