On page 119, towards the bottom. The scene I chose is probably going to be the same many other people. I chose the scene where Montag murdered Beatty. This is the exact quote.
" "Hand it over, Guy," said Beatty with a fixed smile. And then he was a shrieking blaze, a jumping, sprawling gibbering mannikin, no longer human or known, all with writhing flame on the lawn as Montag shot one continuous pulse of liquid flame on him. "
This by itself is frightening, a man murdering somebody. Also, the words used to describe it were great in a bad way. Words like writhing, continuous, pulse, shreiking and also the phrase fixed smile. shrieking. The reason why these words represent fear is because, they give a bad picture. Not so much a bad picture but a scary one. Also, a fixed smile, it sounds like a grin that just isint quite right.
