Have you ever binge watched a TV series? Many people usually do and even consider this a normal behavior in our society; however, the main character, Montag, from the novel Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury is the only one in his society to be detached from the world of media. The civilians are brainwashed from the nonsense that they are watching and listening to. Television helps people to not interact with one another and trying to stop conversations. The people in the society are also getting into harm's way, when they are watching tv. In his novel, Ray Bradbury puts the focus on technology ruining the lives of innocent civilians.
In the book Montag reads out loud true friendship defined to Mildred. After, reading the definition he began thinking of an 17 year old girl, named Clarisse. How he had just met Clarisse and she had already put a new spin to his life. For Example, Clarisse would wait til Montag got off of work just to walk and talk to him. During their walks they would talk about many topics , some that left Guy thinking after she was gone. Then one day all of a sudden he stop seeing Clarisse.Guy missed her and began to feel lonely again on his walks home.
Another specific situation in when people could see Mildred as cold with any decency, emotion, and with some kind of wickedness is when she communicated to Montang that Clarisse (girl of seventeen years old) was gone. ‘’Forgot, forgot… Whole family moved out somewhere. But she’s gone for good. I think she’s dead’’ (Bradbury 44). For common sense, normal people with some kind of compassion could not announce a fatality by the same way of Mildred. The notice was delicate because a person’s life was involved, stranger for her, but Clarisse was her neighbor too. But Mildred despite her coldness and appearance of bad person that she reflected in that moment, she only was giving the information to her cold husband, she could not say anything, but

It was a warm sunny day in April and I was getting ready to go out, however I remembered that I previously turned the tv off I saw the weather report. It claimed that it was going to rain at 3:00 pm so I brought a raincoat. When my family and I left at 2:00 pm it started to drizzle and when we were 10 minutes from where we were supposed to be it started to rain heavily and there was much more traffic. We were 20 minutes late and we had to run into the restaurant because the rain got even worse but I was the only person who had a raincoat on. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray bradbury the theme is that knowledge can prepare us for the future, just like in the story.

As a result, Montag started collecting books from where he put out fires because he was curious and started to tell his wife about it as well because he wanted to know more about his job and how it doesn’t benefit the people that he helps.

Wayne Dyer once said, “ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Guy Montag learns that when he looks deep inside himself, he finds something that is unexpected.

When people are creative most of the time it is seen as unique or special. A person does not necessarily think that their creativity would make them stand out in a “bad way” due to their living situations. If you find yourself living in a gloomy society then you would think that being creative and different would bring hope back to the society. All of this describes the character Clarisse in the book Fahrenheit 451. In the novel, Clarisse is a unique character who represents the profound effects of creativity in an oppressive society.
Can you imagine what life without books would be like? In the story, Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury created a world where owning books is unlawful. The novel includes an abundance of reasons why books are essential. Social interaction is vital. Becoming resourceful is based solely on the insights found in books. A blissful outlook is unattainable. Regardless of how people’s opinions differentiate, books increase your mind’s ability in social interaction, academic development, and helps you be happy.

Big or small, our days are filled with multifarious choices. Sometimes, we may feel discouraged and confused on how to act; fortunately, after reading Divergent, readers realize that everyone goes through similar problems and may not always know how to handle a situation. As Tris develops her identity, she is faced with challenging decisions. As an author, I strongly believe that you did a phenomenal job at conveying that it is normal to be confused and not always know the answer during your journey. Once again, thank you so much for creating a thought provoking, captivating novel that was hard to put down once I began
