The book Fahrenheit 451 employs oxymorons as a literary device. Examples include 'cheerful robot', which contradicts the typical emotionless aspect of robots, and 'deafening silence', used to describe the protagonist's isolation.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury features several examples of oxymorons and contradictory terms used for dramatic effect. One example is the phrase 'cheerful robot', used to describe the mechanical hound. Robots are usually devoid of emotions, making 'cheerful' a contradicting description. Another example is 'deafening silence' which Bradbury uses to describe Montag's feeling of isolation in his empty, silent house. The phrase itself is an oxymoron because silence cannot physically be deafening.

Pacing is determined by factors like word and sentence length, paragraph length and chapter length. Short sentences, paragraphs and chapters increase the pace. Action scenes are usually structured this way to give a sense of urgency to the sequence
-According to the sentence, 50% of all the cakes were party cakes, so: Party cakes 50%
-1 fifth were fruit cakes, so: 1/5x100= Fruit cakes 20%
-The remainder were sponge cakes: 100-50-20= Sponge cakes 30%
The percentage of cakes that were sponge cakes was 30%, as 50% were party cakes and 20% were fruit cakes.
