Help with your Fahrenheit 451 essay...
[MATHEMATICALLY SPEAKING] The FOIL Method (First, Outer, Inner, Last) is a process used in algebra to multiply expressions in two sets of parenthesis. For your paper, apply those questions to the foil in our reading:

1. What is the FIRST thing that you notice about the two characters?
2. What OUTER characteristic is most noticeable about the two characters?
3. What INNER characteristic is most noticeable about the two characters?
4. What is the LAST thing that you notice about the two characters?

Once you've explored these characteristics, pull the ideas together. How does the juxtaposition of these characters make for a more sophisticated and rich development of the roles than would have been possible without the foil?
