Fahrenheit 451

Book Two is called "The Sand and the Sieve."  On page 78, Montag remembers a time as a child sitting in the hot summer sand playing with the sand and a sieve.  What is a sieve and what does it have to do with our story?

  2. A sieve is an instrument with a meshed or perforated bottom, used for separating coarse from fine parts of loose matter, for straining liquids. It is important to the story because things just keep slipping through it and only the big bulk , and course items stay on top and everything that is fine stays ion the bottom. Like the books the big bulky and flashy item's remain on top and the books that have knowledge fall through to the bottom.
