Saying goodbye to the clan leader, Dondorian was one of the hardest things Moira had ever done. Her large amber eyes glistened with the strain of the moment, for it had the feel of forever to it. He was a savior, a father, a friend. It was he that set her free as a young slave. And he who invited her into his wagon as a child of his own. It was he that wrapped her in a hug that communicated more to her then he would ever voice. "We adapt, survive, maintain, circle through, but we come home. Remember that, Dreamdancer, and come home." "Thank you Dondorian, for everything. Speak a blessing into the wind for me and Kestrel each sunrise and a prayer for us each eve. As I will for you and Mahma and the boys." Moira climbed up onto the wagon seat and the clan leader handed up one of two baskets setting beside him. She set the first basket behind the buckboard. As he handed the second one up he said with a smile and a wink, "Make sure our little hawk gets this one." …show more content…
May the wind always bring tidings of good and carry far away rumors of war." "Be safe and travel well, daughter. Treaty Falls will be host for the gathering of the Ten Clans at midsummer if you happen to be in the area." A hopeful gleam in her eyes, Moira smiled. "I will keep that in mind," she said as she twitched the reigns just enough to stir the two horses from their peaceful doze. It was a bump and jiggle ride along the cart track and not long before Kestrel poked her head out of the curtained back-end. Her eyes still blurry with sleep she pulled herself up on the buckboard next to her mahma. "Why didn't you wake me so I could say one last goodbye to
Human beings are naturally curious. We are always in search of better ideas, and new solutions to problems. One of a basic idea of Indonesia has been freedom of thinking and a free flow of ideas. But in some societies, governments try to keep their people ignorant. Usually, this is so governments can keep people under control and hold on to their power. In trying to keep people from the realities of the world, these oppressive governments can end up damaging or even destroying their society.

It had been sometime since they defeated Savitar, Catlin refused the cure and left upon doing so. This upset everyone within group flash but mostly Cisco and Iris knew this. The two were the best of friends, they did nearly everything together and her leaving like she did broke a part of him.

This wasn’t going to work for Iris, she need to know if there was ever a chance she would ever come back and there was only one way to do this and that was to ask her, herself.
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. Although the process may seem excessive and invading to some, it will help save the lives of American citizens. It seems only obvious that someone should care more about the safety of their loved ones, than their text messages being exposed to the government. In the book, Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, it discusses a society in which the government
My legs are shaking with pain, but I need to know where I am and what strange things lie outside of that door way. Slowly I am making my way there, I hear people having a conversation just outside. I haven’t a clue what they are saying, it seems to be in some odd language. Finally I’m at the door. Terrified, I grab the knob and start to open it. It squeaks when I swing it open. In the hall I see no one, just white walls with white tile. “What the,” I say to out loud. I could have sworn I heard someone. My eye catches my room number, 387, it has my name on it. I look right and left, but see nothing expect florescent lighting and shut doors. I go to the door across from mine and try to open it. Locked, that’s odd. I try the next one, locked once again. I keep going, now at room 365 I give the knob a turn and it actually comes open. I hesitantly wander into the area. It looks the same as mine, minus the painting on one of the walls. It is an extremely abnormal painting. It depicts an out of the ordinary creature. “Why would this be in a hospital?” I whisper to myself.
May 10, 1933; Nazi Germany attacked Jewish intellectuals. Claiming they needed to “purify” the German language and literature, universities to be German nationalism. A symbolic significance to May 10, university students burned upwards of 25,000 volumes of “un-German” books. Within past history in the book Fahrenheit 451 the resemblance of the two stories relate to how the governments wanted to banish books due to a new education, different than what should be taught (general information) as well as, people rebelling once learning this information.
The author Ray Bradbury shows all the faults with society through his book Fahrenheit 451. The premise of Fahrenheit 451 is that all the books within their society are burned, in hopes to not offend anyone, Beatty explains this by saying “Colored people don’t like Little Black Sambo. Burn it” (57). Of course, there were those who decided to read anyway, despite the laws, and had their homes, consequently, burned by the firemen, before being arrested. Although, the government at the time were the ones ordering the burning of the books, “it didn’t come from the government”, it started with society (55). Ultimately, the warning is that all problems with the government start with the society itself. Regrettably, the problems of censorship, happened within his lifetime as well, because the burning of books was not just subjected to paper, “German students from universities...gathered in Berlin to burn books with “unGerman” ideas” (Burning). As a consequence of Hitler inspiring these students to set ablaze those books, it festered its way up in society, until it became law.
The Effect of Technology and Censorship Ray Bradbury was an american author who mostly writes in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. Bradbury has written multiple short stories that include technology taking over and censorship such as “The Veldt,” “There Will Come Soft Rains,” and “The Pedestrian.” His novel Fahrenheit 451 is about a dystopian community which shows a lot of technology control and censorship. Throughout Bradbury's works he made predictions about technology control and how it takes over the lives of community members. Bradbury predicted that technology would come to a place where people are so dependent on technology that they are no longer able to function normally in society.
Ban books or burn them? Ray Bradbury wrote his famous novel Fahrenheit 451 in 1953 fantasizing about a world in which books were banned, and when a book was found it was burnt and destroyed. Little did he know that his thought of books being banned could actually happen and that it would be one of his own. Today Fahrenheit 451 is being banned and challenged in schools all across America. How ironic that a book about books being banned is now being banned around the country. A prize winning book by a prize winning author is now being questioned as to whether it is a good book to teach in an English class. Though Fahrenheit 451 may contain controversial elements such as language, discussion of
In my English class at Capital High School, we recently read the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, and we discussed whether freedom is really free What I think is that the freedom that we have right now isn't really free. The freedom that we want has to have limits because then we can lose our own freedom and actually not be free.Freedom is something that everyone should want. . Other ways we have for our freedom is having responsibility on what we do.
As a child, there are special books that we never will forget. When I was younger, my mother would read the bible to me every night. Joining the wandering group of book lovers, had me choose a valuable book to preserve and memorize. I would preserve the bible for future generations because it gives a message of freedom, tells history, and transformed the world.
It has been 3 months since I came to Oahu to help grandpa. Time flew by so quickly, considering that it seems like it was just yesterday when I left you in Maui. I grew 2 inches and became way more tan since I came here; you wouldn’t recognize me if you saw me right now. I miss you terribly and I really hope I go back soon. The work here is tedious, and requires a lot of manual labor. The weather is seems to be a lot more hotter here than in Maui, though. And yesterday, I saw a strange thing happening. In the harbor, a gigantic ship pulled in, and people who were as white as the sand began coming out of it. I wondered what it was, and when I asked grandpa, he said they were here to catch whales. I didn’t want them to, because I didn’t want
The bright red fire truck sped through the streets filled with uniform, pale grey colored houses. The wheels skidded to a stop in front of a house that looked just like the others, as Beatty violently pulled the brake backwards. The men went tumbling backwards, as if the truck had just hit a brick wall in front of them.
In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, we can see a lot of things wrong with the society, things that most people think could happen to us, but is it really that unrealistic? Ray Bradbury didn't think so when he wrote it because he was writing about his own time period, shortly after WWII, but the themes he wrote about are still present today. In the novel Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury criticizes illusion of happiness, oppression, and loss of self, not only his fictitious society, but our society in real life, too.
Kestrel stood silent to the side of the clearing as her mahma swayed in the dance circle. She could not yet take part in dream dances. For the elders felt until the young of the clans completed their Recerca and bonded with their spiritual mentor there was too great a chance to lose themselves in the warp and weft of the visions. Still she often caught a snatch here or there of her mahma’s practice, never enough to bring the dream visions, but as of late she noticed strange swirls of colors or something that spun with Moira’s movements. Swirls that beckoned her to explore deeper. She blinked and stepped back a bit just as her mahma opened her eyes and stood still.
