Bradbury's Writing Style

-"As he stood there the sky over the house screamed." (Pg. 13)
-"They're about nonexistent people, figments of imagination, if they're fiction. And if they're nonfiction, it's worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another's gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost." (Pg. 62)
-"Her face was like a snow-covered island upon which rain might fall, but it felt no rain; over which clouds might pass their moving shadows, but she felt no shadow." (p.13)
-"Burn all , burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean"Page 60
- "She's dead. Let's talk about someone alive, for goodness sake." page 72

Bradbury uses a very imaginative language with a lot of metaphors of fire. The images he makes are very vivid and you can almost feel the heat of the fire. Bradbury uses a lot more metaphors than Arthur Miller and uses a lot more descriptive details.
