Acts of terrorism are vicious and pitiless, taking the lives of innocent individuals. I believe that in order to stop these acts of rebellion, unconventional means of combating the threats are necessary, one of these being, wiretapping. In the article, Counterpoint: War on Terror and Wiretaps, the authors explain the controversial issue regarding the government tapping our technology.

Montag, a protagonist in the novel, works as the fireman whom are very violent (like the rest of the society). No one in this society ever think, but when Montag (Protagonist) meets Clarisse McClellan, he becomes to question everything. Bradbury tries to portray that when people become emotionless, they don’t think about their actions which end up being violent. Bradbury’s hound (terrifying mechanical beast that kills who are unlawful) represents a type of police in the society that regulates everything and everyone. Thus Bradbury’s predictions are similar to today’s society in the police forces (which are controlled by the government).
