GIVE US A HAND!

Legacy.

As I was further into the reading of the novel, Fahrenheit 451, one description caught my eye. During a conversation, a character named, Granger, begins to talk about his grandfather who has passed. He describes him as sculptor who carved wood, he helped clean up the slums, he raised doves and pigeons, he told jokes, and he played the violin. His actions in  life made such an impact on the world and on Granger. Therefore, this is connecting to our hands by representing our actions. It is being implied that our actions are what is remembered when we our gone. This connects to all people in the world. As for Granger, it helped him grieve over his grandfather and give him insight on how to live life. And for Montag it really opened his eyes to the damage he has caused to the world by burning books. Montag realizes all the actions he has done ae negative. Which stings a bit. So, in the end take time to make your mark on the world really think about it. Your legacy is what is remembered.
