3. Option C. Essay on Imagery, Symbolism and Design of Poster.


The title of my poster for Option C is “Fahrenheit 451.” It has a lot of themes in the book. In the poster, I drew books on fire because the lead character who is Guy Montag burns books for a living. He was a fireman of the future and he burns books. They were forbidden to read books. But soon after, Guy met a young girl named Clarisse who made him change his thinking towards books. He also saw a woman whose house was being burnt because there were books, killed herself. That old woman has killed herself because her books were her life and she couldn’t bear to abandon them. Other than the burning books on the poster, I also drew 4 cartoon characters representing Guy Montag, Mildred, Faber and Clarisse. I didn’t have place to draw Captain Beatty. The story consists of 6 main characters which is Guy Montag, Mildred, Faber, Clarisse, Captain Beatty and the Mechanical Hound. The poster is all based on the novel Fahrenheit 451 and nothing else. Guy Montag is the protagonist in the book and the movie, he has become the revolutionary in his time. I would say that because he refused to follow the government’s orders and read books. He also planned to plant books into firemen’s houses with Faber by his side. Clarisse told him stuff he would never believe and Mildred had become one of the perfect citizens in the society. Mildred doesn’t think as the government said it’s against the law. Faber is an old professor who helps Guy with his plans. I’ve chosen meaningful relationship in my poster theme.
