Analysis Of Rules Of Attraction By Bret Easton Ellis

Montag is someone who is shy and keeps his thoughts to himself, but thinks many things. He shows that he is distracted instead of being happy throughout the book. At the time, he was walking home from work and was looking at Clarisse. Clarisse is a girl who would roam the streets and was also Montag's neighbor. She walks over to Guy and they start to have a conversation while walking to their houses. They discussing if talking about to see if Montag is really happy or if he was lying. She keeps questioning him. Bradbury explains “He was not happy. He was not happy. He said the words to himself. He recognized this as true state affairs. He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run across the lawn with the mask and the way

“The woman reached out with contempt to them all, and struck the kitchen match against the railing” (37). Montag and the other firemen report to a house that is suspected of harboring books. They are correct, and they find books in the attic of the home. The books belong to an old woman whose name is unknown to the readers, and she was devastated that the firemen were destroying her home and books. Ultimately she kills herself by setting fire to herself, her home, and the books. The very property and books in question that were about to be burned by Captain Beatty. She felt that books were so important in her life that she could not go on without them. Some people would feel that things to die for, like freedom, liberty, and their family would be more important, but this woman chose her books. It seems very clear to me that Ray Bradbury seems to be telling us, the readers, that there are things in life

Imagine being in school, you are really bored and have already finished all your work. All you really want to do is take out your phone and text your friends. But the rules! Why is this rule made and why does it exist? The rules might not always benefit or help us. This is the theme that is shown in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451 is about a man named Guy Montag, who is questionable about his happiness and tries to find out what books are about, but his job and town prohibits reading books. He investigates and makes a plan to try and take down the fireman system so that people can have thoughts and feelings again.

Technology is advancing with every year that pasts. This helps us live our lives easier but is that what we need? Technology is fun to play with but it’s also ruining our abilities to communicate with each other. Human contact is decreased and social isolation is increased. With every advancement in technology, we are advancing in social isolation as well.

Have you ever felt like you were outside of the norm? In the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the main character Montag has had much of this feeling. In this dystopian novel Montag, the main character has come to his senses and realized that the rules of the government are absurd. The culture, characters, and themes of the book reflect on the type of world that is in this dystopian.

In the novel, Fahrenheit 451, a retired English teacher named Faber convinced us all of the three missing components of the set society and possibly in our own, “Number one, as I said, quality of information. Number two: leisure to digest it. And number 3: the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two.” (81). His first argument was the quality of information, in this case, he was referring to how books hold documentation of independent ideas and newly webbed thoughts, the two things that the government appears to look down on. Creativity seems to be spun into this label of abnormality, where all are expected to be equal resulting in those of high intelligence not being able to live up to their full potential, and

Montag all throughout your life have you ever noticed the little details that surround you? All around the world there are things other than parlor walls, they are people who truly live and understand true emotion. Don't you want to be one of those people? I may look like a stranger to you, but aren't we all strangers with no connection towards each other. And aren't we more connected to the technology that surrounds all of us, "And if not the three walls soon to be four walls and the dream complete, then it was the open car and Mildred driving a hundred miles an hour across town," (46). Literature may seem like a terrible object, saying that's how you've perceived books your whole life, "His hands had been infected, and soon it

Everyone’s knowledge was basically the same. No one fell above or below average, and I think it has to play with the fact that no one asked why. “Why” isn’t a question in the society that Bradbury created. The inner thoughts didn’t come into play because the society didn’t exactly think for themselves and everything was just spoon fed to them, there was no room or reason for them to ask why, at least that’s what the society thought. All that the society thought about was entertainment, adrenaline, the “need for speed”; they didn’t care about why they needed it or why they did as they did. They just didn’t care why so their knowledge wasn’t able to expand to what we would even call average today. Their society is more based off of entertainment

A world full a blank expressionless faces connected to even more mindless robotic people. A world where one just breathes and eats, but never truly feels any emotion. Our world is on the way to becoming this, but for Millie and Montag this was a sad, sad, reality in Ray Bradbury’s book Fahrenheit 451. Everything grows with time as did our main character Montag throughout the book. Montag begins as a mindless follower and evolves into a fearless leader. As he grows into this leader his relationship with Mildred goes through multiple changes. Montag and Millie’s story is broken into three parts. Montag first and most briefly believes he and Millie were a fairy tale couple and then Clarisse made him realize that he was in a loveless relationship, but finally in the last few pages Montag comes to peace with everything that has happened.

Fahrenheit 451 was written by Ray Bradbury. The theme of Fahrenheit 451 is, knowledge is important for people to thrive. In the book Guy Montag’s society is solely driven by artificial happiness. Guy is one of the few people who strive for more. As the story progresses the mood and the tone describe how Guy’s thinking is more in depth and driven for more than happiness.

In a tedtalk, Andrew Stanton said “We all love stories. We're born for them.” (Stanton 1:45) Which is true, our society’s culture is driven by storytelling. Stanton was the mind behind well known movies like Finding Nemo and WALL-E. He obviously had has time to perfect the art of storytelling. He came up with rules to create a good story. Some of the rules being make me care, 2 + 2, no happy village, villain, or love story. And those are just some of the rules used to create a good story.In Kurt Vonnegut's Miss Temptation, Vonnegut uses the rules make me care, 2 + 2, and makes a promise. Vonnegut also breaks the rule of no love story as there is potential for a love story in the end.

“Then, moaning, she ran forward, seized a book and ran toward the kitchen incinerator. He caught her, shrieking. He held her and she tried to fight away from him scratching,” (63). In the novel Fahrenheit 451 follows the protagonist, Guy Montag, and his interactions with society discouraging and encouraging his discovery of the illegal books. Along the way he understands who are the poisonous people in his dystopian world and who are not; changing his perspective to lose trust in his wife Mildred, from previous quote, and finding safety with Faber, a retired professor he came by one day in a park. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 the author demonstrates the idea that when there is censorship in the world, ignorance will follow because when a subject is hidden from one anything they do regarding it is under the impression of their lack of knowledge surrounding the topic, this becomes more relevant when Ray Bradbury acknowledges the emotions of people who have read books and whom haven't and their general opinions of them.
