Symbol 

the sieve and the sand is the title of the second part of Fahrenheit 451, it shows the memories of Montag's childhood since he was trying to fill a sieve with sand on the beach to get a dime from a mischievous cousin and crying at the futility of the task. In this image you can see a person with a sieve in his hands and inside of it there is a little bit of sand. This picture can be dedicated to the people who likes to play with sand or that need soft sand for something since the sieve can be used for that. The colors of the picture represents that is in a different period of time, many years ago. the hands that are taking the sieve seems to be of a child so for me, it represents that the little boy is playing with it. This child is Montag many years ago. it seems to be in a dark place where the sunlight gets in from a little hole.

 

This picture represents this book because it shows many books or letters that are burning with fire so you can imagine this as lack of knowledge. In this picture there are many papers that are burning, those pictures seem to have many information written on it which is going to be lost. This happens inside a house, the papers seem old so maybe it was of old books. the fire is very lit.

This picture represents the propaganda of the firemen so that people enjoy what they do as work. In this image you can see a man carrying many books and something written on it trying to focus other people attention. This guy looks like a soldier, with soldier cloth and a gun so that he can protect himself. Its background is black, the letters are red so that it highlight and the guy has dark cloth. it is trying to get into people´s head that books are dangerous and are bad for our self.
