Metaphor
Examine this excerpt from page 53: "The zipper displaces the button and a man lacks just that much time while dressing at dawn, a philosophical hour, and thus, a melancholy hour."
How does the example of the zipper and the buttons support Beatty's overall argument about the attention span of society in Fahrenheit?
The zipper makes getting dressed go more quickly, and so, people don't take their time to get dressed. This leads to them being happier because they do not have time to dwell on sadness.
