Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

Clarisse is a curious girl about her environment, how the earth has evolved, and the past. She rubs off on Montag, which could lead to a dramatic change in his life.

Fahrenheit 451 is a very interesting book that shows its many themes in different ways. Through a compare and contrast between the our world now and the world presented in Fahrenheit 451 we will be able to see the different themes and the factors that influence them. The four main factors that influence the story are the controlling government, terrible social conditions, advances technology and censorship. Although, some a play a bigger part than others, without all the them the book 's final outcome could have changed in a drastic way.

My appreciation of a literary work was enhanced by understanding symbol when I read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The science fiction novel is about Guy Montag, a man who is a firefighter. In this time, the job of a firefighter is to burn and destroy all books because reading or having books is illegal. He does his job, day by day, burning books without giving it a thought. As the novel continues, Montag realizes that books are not bad and tries to save them. He remembers a time when fire was not a destructive force; fire was also a source of warmth and comfort. In this novel, fire represents two opposing forces, depending on how it is used. The firemen use it to destroy, but Montag learns that it gives a source of a warm and comforting affect when used correctly.

When an author produces a work of literature, they are greatly influenced by the world around them. Inspired by life in society, authors are able to create work that speaks to their observations and views on society and its functions. In the book Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury incorporated the corruption of the society in which he lived in into the dystopian society created in his book. Fahrenheit 451, a fictional book about a protagonist’s attempt to overcome a dystopian society’s corruption, was written by Ray Bradbury while living in 1950’s America. The book focuses on themes of censorship, and illustrates the effects of when a society is controlled and limited. The correlation between the story and the time it was written is

In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury tells the story of a dystopic world where books are burned by firemen because they are prohibited. By presenting this, he makes a point on how books are essential and at the same time warning readers. He was trying to say,” If this happens, then this will happen.” He visualized this society in this book, based on his society, which is parallel to our society now. In the dystopic Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury examines his society at the time, and he admonishes readers about possible aspects of future societies, especially mass media, technological advancement, and peoples’ mental health.

“"I’m hungry" "Last night" he began. "Didn’t sleep well. Feel terrible" she said. "God I’m hungry I can’t figure it" "Last night" he said again. She watched his lips casually. "What about last night" "Don’t you remember"”. Mildred doesn’t really listens to Montag He always tries to tell her something but she seems careless about it. He feels like he’s not getting the attention he wants from her. ““When did we meet? Where?”… “It doesn’t matter.” She was up, in the bathroom now, and he heard the water running, and the swallowing sound she made. “No, I guess not,” he said. This demonstrates that all this years of marriage meant nothing to Mildred. By her not remembering how they meet tells that Mildred doesn’t really care about their marriage.

What would the world be like without books? Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 gives you a peek and makes you think quite a bit more than you may like to. Bradbury sets his book in the very distant time. Given that his book was written over 60 years ago, the future is somewhat similar to now. The main character, Guy Montag, is a firefighter but much different than ours today.

Today’s society devotes excessive amounts of time toward using technology. It is estimated that children spend at least 75 hours on electronic media and that adults spend at least 77 hours. This obsession with technology was inferred long before smartphones were created. Although it was written in 1953, the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury envisions a future consumed by electronics akin to today’s society. Fahrenheit 451 mirrors the present society because it exhibits the misuse of technology, the influence that technology has on relationships, and the lust for eternal bliss.

When is the last time a person has eaten dinner with their family while using their cellular device? When is the last time a person has eaten dinner without their family and instead, he or she watched an interactive TV show? Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury has a powerful message for readers today as the world described in the novel and our world today share many similarities. Fahrenheit 451 is about futuristic firemen who burn books because they are illegal. Due to the neglecting force towards books, people have an increased interest in technology and are using it all the time. Our world today is quite similar to the world in the novel because in both worlds interactive TV shows are watched often, people are using their technological devices all the time, and tracking devices are used.

“People need quality information, the leisure to digest it, and the freedom to act on what has been learned.”(Bradbury 85) When these aspects are removed from a society, human beings lose every right to freedom and individualism. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 and the short story Harrison Bergeron, this proves to be more than true. These pieces of literature each display similar values of society, technological advancements, rebellious acts, and a human desire for fulfillment of equality.

Have you ever wondered how TV and other media technology impacts our lives? In the book Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury depicts a society that is immersed in technology, which becomes an obsession for most of its people. Bradbury also describes the negative effects that come with this technology, especially losing essential human traits like communication and common sense. Finally, Bradbury sends the message that technology is so powerful that it not only controls certain people, but an entire society as well. In the book Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury describes the dangers and negative effects that come from being exposed to the sights and sounds of media technology.

Winston Churchill, a politician and an author, once said,“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often” (Churchill). Change is always occurring weather it be on a small or a large scale. You could be a billionaire businessman or a fast food worker, anyone has the power to change and impact society. The main character from Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Guy Montag, a fireman who burns books, is no stranger to changing society for the better. The novel is set in a future dystopian society where technology fills everyone’s day to day lives. The government censors the people of all of the problems and destroys knowledge to keep people from thinking for themselves and revolting against the corrupt government. Clarisse McClellan, a

The novel Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury is a piece of literature that reveals some strange things. The author creates a proposal of how society would be if it can reach the limits, not only technological but also social and ideological. Throughout the novel, society is subject to a regime that helps to create a strange culture to have "happiness." The ideologies of communism and capitalism were in a battle to enforce their ways of thinking. This is wrong because the happiness of each person depends mainly on decisions and preferences. The diversity of thoughts and different ideas with a common purpose, good and healthy coexistence is what helps for a culture development.

As time goes on our technology is advancing and slowly starting to control how humans are acting and taking over jobs, human interactions, and how people use their time. In the novel readers see how Bradbury uses technology to show how it takes over people and how they think or feel about themselves and others. Ebooks, social media networks, automatic cleaning tools, and robots are just a few items that have been created to make life a lot simpler and less work for humans. Today in society people choose not to use critical thinking but instead are using technology to replace what they're supposed to do for themselves. People are using technology to replace books and everything else they're doing.

Unfortunately Bradbury was not far of in his predictions of what the future held for us, from the lack of communication, right down to earbuds and large flat televisions.Bradbury saw that the more and more we wanted our lives to be easier, the more and more we became less connected to each other and more connected to our devices.In today's world much like in Fahrenheit 451 we are becoming less mindful of what's going on around us and beginning to care more about or next post to
