Fahrenheit 451 Changes

Society has changed dramatically. In the book, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, not everyone is normal like they should be. People are numb to the world and to the things around them.

Fahrenheit 451 The book “Fahrenheit 451,” published in 1951, and written by Ray Bradbury, is based on the future. In the novel, one of the characters, named Montag, goes through many character changes. Most of his character changes really affect how the story gets written. In the beginning, in the middle, and in the end is going to be the main focus on Montag’s changes.

Oh how the flames have changed. No longer did the flames signify destruction, eating away at the pages that had once shaped society as we know it. No longer did the flamethrower clenched in a fireman’s fist burn the ideals that make us people. No longer did they dash the hopes, the dreams, of man. Fire, which was one demolition and violence, is now hope.

“And then he was a shrieking blaze, a jumping, sprawling gibbering mannikin, no longer human or known, all writhing flame on the lawn as Montag shot one continuous pulse of liquid fire on him” (Bradbury 113). This first quote is one of many quotes from the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury that exhibits how Guy Montag the main character has changed throughout the whole book. With the help of some friends he meets along the way, his beliefs about books and his life working as a fireman change drastically.

Montag once liked his job and then he meets Clarisse and begins to question is career choice as well as his personal life because he does not feel complete or happy. Montag wants to change his life and tries to open up to Mildred about his feelings but Mildred is so caught up with her “T.V. Family” that she does not have time to discuss anything with Montag.

A script is technically a book but nobody has realized that yet. This changes Montag’s perspective on Mildred’s life, and how she has been living for a long while now. He feel’s as though it is unfair for the people who loved to read books.

The science fiction novel, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is about a futuristic dystopian society where everyone follows simple rules/norms: don't read books and spend time with their “families”. The families in the novel are also known as the TV’s. Whoever in the novel reads or owns books, gets put down by the hound. 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).

Change is inescapable; it is the only consistent factor in any society, collective, or individual. Since change is constant, then why are societies usually so fixed on attempting to be rigid in their culture? In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury uses the culture surrounding Montag to illustrate the evolution of his moral belief system in regards to knowledge.

Throughout your short time while on this Earth you will go through many different changes in your life, style, and with the society around you. These changes are not always a negative thing as well as them not always being a positive thing. However, these changes are always all brought on by the changing surroundings around you and the actions that you take in order to either maintain these surroundings or advance with the change and change your life because of these changes that are being brought upon you. The biggest problem that I have been facing for my entire life is always questioning myself as well as the others around me. While this problem may not seem like a problem at all because we cannot advance in society without questions

People are always blocked from true knowledge and the government continuously will try to manipulate you, well having free education for all can get you to think for yourself without being controlled. Society should be more responsible for providing access and equity to free education for its citizens in order to give the people to think for themselves and not be manipulated by others that have knowledge.In the story it shows the government not really caring about the education of the people on how they just burn the books that people try to read, it's basically manipulating the people for their own. In harrison bergeron they give you handicapped and put you in same line of intelligence which makes it difficult to think for the themselves without their education, again it's manipulating the people to for their own needs.

It all starts with Montag meeting Clarisse. A major thing that happened when she asked Montag if he was happy or not. Then he started to think if he was actually happy or not. After a while Clarisse goes missing and he starts to wonder where she is. Finally Mildred told him that Clarisse got hit by a car. Around the middle of the story Guy Montag starts to read a book to all of Mildred’s friends. They

In Ray Braudbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag undergoes major changes because of the influence of other intellects and events; in effect this caused him to ruminate about events that were considered “normal”. Montag’s occupation is firefighting, however he is not the traditional version of a fire fighter. Montag does not put out fire, but rather helps ignite them. This is considered ordinary within his society because they are not allowed to read books or have knowledge previous to this era. This law is enforced with such intensity because the government fears that knowledge in one’s mind will contribute to overthrowing whoever is in control or has the most power within the society. However this does not stop a few individuals (including Montag) to pose threats to the government by reading and by posing questions.
