Ray Bradbury uses an interesting motif (a pattern/ repetition of a symbol/ symbols) to make a point about the society he has imagined in Fahrenheit 451.  He scatters  stinging insects, poisonous reptiles, poopy pigeons, and vicious hound dogs throughout the text.  Why, as an author, does he do this?

1. He wants to create a welcoming and comfortable world.


2. Authors can do whatever they want, so why not do this?


3. He wants to create a mood in the work.


4. He wants to use language to create and sustain a feeling of great discomfort, related to the overall notion of dystopia.
