Bradbury uses syntax to convey the theme of rules and order as a form of control. The use of syntax is when Claireese is asking a lot of questions to Montag about his work as a fireman. “Do you mind if I ask?” “How long have you been a fireman?” “Do you ever read any of the books you bum?” The rules and order as a form as control are being shown here because when Claireese asks him if he ever reads the books he burns he just laughs. He does not even realize how strict and crazy the rules are. It is almost a joke to him of how someone could even think about reading a book or doing something that society’s rules do not let him do. Her asking all of these questions is almost like someone who doesn’t live in the controlled utopian society,
