This question refers to the book Fahrenheit 451. In this book, the firemen are not meant to put out fires, but instead work in order to burn books. When the firemen are called to burn the books that an old woman is holding, Captain Beatty slaps her as she refuses to say where the books are. Eventually, the firemen find the books in the attic, but the woman decides to light herself on fire in order to die with her books.

i would say that these are the two thesis statements best for a literary analysis essay on recurring themes in shakespeare's romeo and juliet:

1.  in romeo and juliet, shakespeare demonstrates that love comes in a variety of forms, be it romantic, familial, or between friends.

2.  shakespeare explores the struggle for identity through the character of juliet in his play romeo and juliet.

the other theses aren't reoccurring in this play.
