Answer 1

The title "The Sieve and the Sand" in Part 2 of Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451" represents Guy Montag's **quest for knowledge**. This part of the story explores Montag's desire to understand the books that he begins to collect, symbolizing his struggle to retain the knowledge he seeks in a society that discourages critical thinking and intellectual curiosity. The metaphor of the sieve suggests the difficulty of holding onto knowledge that slips away.
