While reading the books, Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza, and Night by Elie Wiesel, the similarity in person was very prominent. Noticing how closely related these two authors were in their time of struggle and how they conquered their struggles to become survivors.

Though these authors share many similarities, there are still a few ways they differ in the events they were exposed to.

Although the Holocaust was a perfect example of a dystopia, it wasn't long lived like the one in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451 can easily be compared to the Holocaust In a dystopian sense. I believe that Fahrenheit 451 and the Holocaust are similar because there's a creation being wiped out in both cases for no right reason. They both have an evil leader for an evil army. It even goes as far as the books and the Jewish being destroyed the same way. There was an ongoing war during both of these scenarios as well. When it comes down to the point both scenarios are achieving societal control and portraying an illusion of a perfect society.

To begin with, both novels show very strong themes of prejudice throughout. Night begins with the Elie Wiesel’s account of what it was like to live through Hitler’s final solution to rid Europe of the Jewish population. He remembers what it was like to be a young man living in Sighet, Transylvania when the Nazis moved in, and forced him out of his home to concentration camps where many people were killed in the crematoria upon arrival. Throughout Wiesel’s time in Auschwitz and Buchenwald, he had been separated from his mother and sisters, watched his friends die, and lived everyday in fear of death. The prisoners of these concentrations camps were stripped of their identity by only being referred to as their tattooed number, they were

The book Night by Elie Wiesel is about the Holocaust, the slaughter of 11 million people. Readers follow Elie from his home, in Hungary to Auschwitz and Buchenwald. At these camps, the Nazis beat and starve Elie and his father. In this book, Elie changed tremendously in the concentration camps. Elie Wiesel changes in the concentration camps both emotionally and physically.

Night and Dawn, both written by Elie Wiesel, are two books that have changed the way people view life and death. Night is a story of the Holocaust that occurs in the time frame of the mid-1900s. Elie, the author and the main character of Night, tells of the horrific years he spent in Germany's concentration camps. During this time period, millions of Jewish people were shot by merciless Nazis. Dawn focuses on a young boy Elisha who is recruited into a terrorist organization after the Holocaust. He eventually finds himself caught in the middle of the war between the Jewish and the British fighting for freedom. Both of Wiesel's stories involve poignant emotions. Night shows the reader the horror of being murdered. Similarly,

Ray Bradbury´s wrote a book about this dystopian society where everything in our world is backwards in their world, they can speed, they burn books, and everybody is always gloomy and sad. Montag changed his mindset throughout the book, he went from burning books to saving them from getting burnt. Mildred on the other hand, continuously stayed the same throughout the book. She beginned the book showing she did not care, and carried that same mentality through the rest of the book. Ray Bradbury´s uses contrasting characters in Fahrenheit 451 to illustrate the differences within views of a dystopian society with his development of Montag and Mildred.

society by reading only the first few pages. Fahrenheit 451 was written by Ray Bradbury in

To first discover what makes these novels similar, they must first be analyzed to see their plot. Fahrenheit 451 is the story of a fireman named Guy Montag. Montag is no ordinary civilian, he is a fireman, the law enforcement that burns down house and arrests people if they have been proven to be hiding books. The story goes that Montag has a wife who has very little purpose in life. Her only desire is to be with her “family”, the actors on television who make programs where the viewer feels they are involved in the show. Eventually, Montag meets a young girl named Clarisse who talks with him when they walk together on the sidewalk, says to him “You’re not like the others” (Page 21), and who has been deemed by society as “peculiar” as she expresses herself in many artful ways. Montag talks with Clarisse until, one day, Clarisse is hit by a car,

The novel “Night” was written by Elie Wiesel and is a memoir of his life during World War II. The book starts with his life living in Hungary with his family. It then tells of how they were taken away to concentration camps throughout the war. During Elie’s stays at the various camps you see the sacrifices he makes and how the experience changes him.

Today technology controls almost everything we do, from the way we go places to what we eat. With this power of technology comes good and evil, medicines and poisons. Through technology we have accesses way more information than before. For example every day you can absorb as much knowledge as King Henry the eighth did in his entire life. This is all due to the improvement of technology. Sadly technology also has a bad side, with faster communication, rumors can be spread faster and kids can be bullied easier. The internet can easily become a second world for many people, especially young adults. Technology is the basis for many relationships, especially long distances. Match.com and other dating sites take advantage of the fact so many people use technology as a way to make or maintain relationships. With technology comes a large amount of knowledge that is easily accessible. Some of the knowledge offends or scares many people but our government hasn’t gotten the point of completely censoring everything. In Fahrenheit 451, a novel about a dystopian society, Ray Bradbury illustrates what he believes our world should be like right now. This scarily accurate novel demonstrates the way technology has affected knowledge and relationships in both our world and the world of Fahrenheit 451 in the same way.

A dystopia represents the polar opposite of a utopia. Indeed, it could even be considered a failed utopia, a failed ideal society. If one accepts this notion as fact, then it would lead to the logical conclusion that both must share some of the same characteristics. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 portrays one such dystopia that has emerged throughout the ages clearly depicting characteristics such as conformity, isolation from external influences, and an apparent lack of poverty, misery, and war.
