help plz i have to explain the descriptive language and imagery compared 2 the them in fahreheit 451 plz help

He hung up his black-beetle-coloured helmet and shined it, he hung his flameproof jacket neatly; he showered luxuriously, and then, whistling, hands in pockets, walked across the upper floor of the fire station and fell down the hole. At the last moment, when disaster seemed positive, he pulled his hands from his pockets and broke his fall by grasping the golden pole. He slid to a squeaking halt, the heels one inch from the concrete floor downstairs.

He walked out of the fire station and along the midnight street toward the subway where the silent, air-propelled train slid soundlessly down its lubricated flue in the earth and let him out with a great puff of warm air to the cream-tiled escalator rising to the suburb.

Whistling, he let the escalator waft him into the still night air. He walked toward the corner, thinking little at all about nothing in particular. Before he reached the corner, however, he slowed as if a wind had sprung up from nowhere, as if someone had called his name

Make a paper copy of what you typed in. Cross out all the words that are absolutely necessary to describe the action: “He hung and shined his helmet. He hung up his jacket. He showered … walked across the floor, and fell down the hole.”

When you’re done with all those necessary words, look at what those other words add. Do they match up well with other words — such as “beetle” and “shined”? Those are the things you need to call out.

Also, get a family member or friend to proofread your work before you hand it in.
