Answer:
Claim: Ray Bradbury uses descriptive language, dialogue, and character thoughts and actions to develop character, plot, and setting in Fahrenheit 451.
Supporting details/evidence:
"He was a captain of firemen, the firemen who burned books. Their hands held tight to the pitchforks with their long metal teeth. They wore the helmets, the rubber boots, the steel-rimmed gloves, the gas-masks hanging on their belts." (Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451)
"Do you ever read any of the books you burn?" she asked. "Of course not," he said. "That's against the law." (Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451)
"It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed." (Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451)
These quotes show Bradbury's use of descriptive language to develop the setting and character of the firemen in the story. The first quote describes the firemen's appearance and equipment, while the second and third quotes reveal their thoughts and actions, highlighting their lack of interest in the books they burn and their enjoyment of destruction.
