We find out about the world that the characters live in, what they go through in their inter personal relationships and what made their world come to be how it is. Next, we will look at literary devices such as figurative language, tone and descriptive language. Finally,...

I have taught in primary (elementary) schools and secondary (high) schools in the UK and Belgium, and I have taught online for four years as a TEFL teacher, teaching children aged 3-16.

This book can be emotionally challenging, especially in this section. In this section, Mildred overdoses on her sleeping tablets. It is unclear if this was deliberate or an accident due to Mildred having a very short attention span. Her stomach is pumped and her husband Montag tries to address the matter with her the next morning, but she has forgotten about it. According to the schools syllabuses, this book is taught in schools to 14-16 year olds, hence my suggested appropriate age for this class.
