During beatty's long speech to montag, he tells montag that, above all, "people want to be happy." he insists that the work that the firemen do—burning books that promote differences of opinion or that might offend one group or another—is all done in the name of promoting happiness. the books that people are still permitted to read, comic books and the like, are legal because they promote happiness. yet montag is not happy. why do the books that allegedly promote happiness not montag? how does beatty's speech lead montag to read the books that he has stolen at the end of "the hearth and the salamander"?

One element of lyric poetry is personal reflection. which lines in this poem most clearly illustrate that element? i wandered lonely as a cloudby william wordsworthi wandered lonely as a cloudthat floats on high o'er vales and hills,when all at once i saw a crowd,a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees,fluttering and dancing in the breeze.continuous as the stars that shineand twinkle on the milky way.they stretched in never-ending linealong the margin of a bay: ten thousand saw i at a glance,tossing their heads in sprightly dance.the waves beside them danced; but theyout-did the sparkling waves in glee: a poet could not but be gay.in such a jocund company: i gazed and gazed—but little thoughtwhat wealth the show to me had brought: for oft, when on my couch i liein vacant or in pensive mood,they flash upon that inward eyewhich is the bliss of solitude; and then my heart with pleasure fills,and dances with the daffodils.
