Creativity In Fahrenheit 451

(STEWE-1): We see a lack of humanity when Mildred says to Montag, "'See what you're doing? You'll ruin us! Who's more important, me or that Bible?'" (Bradbury 72). Mildred is self-centered and only worries about herself. She doesn’t think about others’ emotions and how they might feel, and she puts herself before the books that could help Montag regain his humanity. Mildred is the ideal member of society, and thus represents society as a whole. The rest of society is self-centered and unempathetic, and only worry about themselves. They place themselves and their needs before others and their needs. They

The burning and banishing of novels is what creates a dystopian society in Fahrenheit 451. The society is full of unhappiness and sorrow. Mildred, Montag’s wife, seems happy watching television on the big parlor walls and talking with her “family.” However, if she was so happy then why would she try to commit suicide by overdosing?

Instead, Mildred showed her ignorance and was stubborn about changing for the right reasons, committing a cowardly act of snitching on Montag, therefore conforming once again to the terrible, lying community they live in. Mildred lives a pathetic, lonely life consisting of her loved ones which only contained televisions. In the quote, while Mildred was running from the house, she was worrying and feeling regretful but not for Montag, for leaving her “family” behind. Montag on the other hand, differs from Mildred. He started off his life as a conformist and became courageous through others opening his

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.

In the book, a T.V. program is what represented your family. Mildred, Montag’s wife loved that program and believes that they are her real family as stated on page 46 “That’s My Family”. This represents how much of an influence technologie is in their life. The community in this book relies on the television programs everyday for their news of the world. Another display of this controlling government is how depressed a lot of the community is. In the book, Mildred attempts suicide by taking 30 to 40 sleeping pills resulting in Montag finding her unconscious on the floor after work one day. The next day when Montag confronts her about this event, she doesn’t remember the situation at all. To further warn the audience Ray Bradbury reminds the reader that when you don't follow the strict laws of the government you will get severely punished. All of these events in one way or another prove that the society they are living in is very melancholy

A variety of themes are addressed in Fahrenheit 451, most of which are prevalent to our current situation. Because of this, the book was originally banned for sending the wrong political message and having offensive language. Although there is much irony and humor in the fact that a book warning about the implications of banning books was banned, that topic of discussion has been well over mentioned to the point where the political and social message that Ray Bradbury was trying to address through symbolism and parallelism between his fictional twenty fourth century dystopian society and our society during the time the book was written, Cold War America, is largely ignored. Through Ray

The culture in Fahrenheit 451 is very fast and dangerous throughout the book. “Six of my friends have been shot in the last year alone. Ten of them died in car wrecks”(Bradbury 27). The people in Fahrenheit 451, especially the young adults, live such fast lives that they don’t care about anyone or even themselves. They care so little that they run each other over with cars and shoot each other without any care. Mildred also tells Montag to relieve some stress by driving fast and hitting small animals, showing that Montag lives in a world where driving fast and dangerously is a normal thing for everyone. People living a fast and dangerous led many people to not caring about their families or people around them. “No use going through all that agony for a baby”(Bradbury 92). People in Fahrenheit 451 are unwilling to make families, because

Fahrenheit 451 is a very complex book that makes the reader really think about what they are reading. Fahrenheit 451 was written in 1953 by Ray Bradbury as a dystopian novel that encompassed some of Bradbury’s ideas of how our society was flawed. Some of these ideas are prevalent in present day. Bradbury created a very compelling novel that makes every reader question what he is trying to convey to others. Fahrenheit 451 serves as an alarm to our flaws and makes a reader question what Bradbury is trying to transmit through his writing.

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury is a futuristic novel, taking the reader to a time where books and thinking are outlawed. In a time so dreadful where those who want to better themselves by thinking, and by reading are outlaws as well. Books and ideas are burned, books are burned physically, whereas ideas are burned from the mind. Bradbury uses literary devices, such as symbolism, but it is the idea he wants to convey that makes this novel so devastating.

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.

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

David pulled the bedclothes up to his chin. The eerie moaning continued, unperturbed by this small defiance. It’s just the wind in the chimney, he told himself, over and over. It’s nothing to worry about.

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.

We sit on the subways and we ride on the busses, we drown the outside world with our headphones and our television sets, and we walk on the sidewalks brushing past one another just enough to avoid physical contact so that we can continue on our "merry" way towards our next destination. As a society, we beeline our way through life, weaving between moments of rendezvous and accidental concurrence, and we surround ourselves with instruments of interference in an attempt to pull ourselves out of the day-to-day life. As they say, art imitates life, and in a very sadistic way Fahrenheit 451 imitates what we are, and what we could become. Fahrenheit depicts a future where the common people surround themselves
