Question

Analyze the quote from Section 3-Burning Bright, then make three connections (text - to this text, text to world, text to self)

"Montag tried to see the men’s faces, the old faces he remembered from the firelight, lined and tired. He was looking for a brightness, a resolve, a triumph over tomorrow that hardly seemed to be there. Perhaps he had expected their faces to burn and glitter with the knowledge they carried, to glow as lanterns glow, with the light in them. But all the light had come from the campfire, and these men had seemed no different than any others who had run a long race, searched a long search, seen good things destroyed, and now, very late, were gathered to wait for the end of the party and the blowing out of the lamps".

Answer 1

• Text to text: The text shows several times how the faces of men looked downcast, like people who lost their strength and hope.
• Text to world: The text portrays a link about the idea of tiredness that affects human beings in the most varied spheres of society. This fatigue may not be physical, but mental and psychological.
• Text to self: The text reminds me of situations where I did not reach a certain goal that I had and I felt that it was no longer worth insisting on, because I had been defeated. Although I went back on some goals, others I let die.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you read a text it is possible to make three types of connections that are called Text-to-self, Text-to-text and text-to-world.

The connection called Text-to-self refers to the connections between the ideas shown in the text and the reader's experiences in his personal life. The connection called Text-to-text refers to the exposure of recurring ideas in the text, which are repeated by reinforcing the main theme being exposed. Finally, the text-to-world connection refers to the connection between the ideas in the text and other areas of knowledge.
