Quote:
“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there."
-Granger
This quote wants to say that our worth on earth is measured by what our hands have done. Mildred's hands have done nothing, and Montag's hands have started to do something.
Symbolic Images of Part One
THE END!!!
"Burning Bright"
The main theme in the last section of the book, "Burning Bright", would have to be that of destruction followed by rebirth. The whole city is blown up and destroyed. Everyone died: Millie, Captain Beatty, all the firefighters, everyone except Montag. Montag is given the chance to start recreating the world, maybe having books part of it, with the other few which survived. The city will be reborn just like the Phoenix who dies and comes back to life from its ashes. The city will be reborn back from its ashes.
The theme of part one of the book is Censorship. The Hearth and the Salamander's theme questions the rules of society. Montag, with the aide of Clarisse, suddenly is able to realize how the government has been brainwashing citizens to be "sparkly" and happy all the time, oblivious of the starvation and poorness of others in the world. Montag starts to understand why he is employed to burn books. Books hold knowledge, they contain philosophy, conflict, and could create unrest in the population.

"Patience, Montag, let war turn off the families. Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge. There has to be someone ready when it blows up."
-Faber
This quote does a great job in foreshadowing the future of the book. At the end of the book the city blows up due to the war, it has self-destructed.
