There’s this feeling, it's indescribable. You know it, I know it and evokes anxiety that consumes your mind. Your heart begins to race, your stomach begins to drop and you frantically race to fix this problem. In just a few moments your life feels over. You feel alone, in complete and utter despair, it’s like you’re in a chasm of intense loneliness and neglect. This feeling when the wifi disconnects. We can’t bear to stop scrolling to see what our ‘friends’ are doing, uploading, liking, reacting and commenting. After all, social media connects us. It brings the world a little closer, and yet, we’ve never been more disconnected to the world and the ones we love than now.

When I read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, I felt very depressed and angry over the idea of burning books. In Fahrenheit 451 society it is against the law to read or own books. If you do, you could go to jail or be killed. And burning down houses, if there are books in them, is also acceptable. But in real life burning houses and books is not good. Fahrenheit 451 society and our world are very different because they have different laws and rules. Another example of how Fahrenheit 451 and our society are different is that in the book it was not against the law to run over someone, but in our society it is against the law.

Imagine living in a world where books are looked upon as evil. Well, Ray Bradbury wrote a novel on a dystopian world in which firemen would burn any books they see including the house. The reason Bradbury did this is to illustrate his beliefs that mankind was forgetting about books and moving to the next generation. In the 1950s new colored televisions became the new sensation for the world and everybody was watching movies and TV shows instead of reading books. In fact many people even started to hate them. Another thing that was big for the new generation was the Korean War. The Korean War had the world in constant fear of nuclear weapons. The medical field developed quickly and efficiently which led to the first organ transplant and exceptional

The society in Fahrenheit 451 had many different technologies from parlor walls to the mechanical hound that contributed to the downfall of humanity as well as human nature aspects that enhance the destructiveness of these technologies in the book. The technology over ruled this society as human nature aspects were kind of thrown to the side in this society which made the technology even more powerful and dangerous. This society was so scared of what would happen if they even thought differently that they let the technology take over as their human nature was brushed off and thrown away.

I am going to agree because I personally believe that no one is going to be perfect and able to always make the right decisions and judgements. Just because they are leaders or experts doesn't make their claims automatically correct. It is necessary for people to challenge against the authority they are disagree to make it better for other people. Just as the book Fahrenheit 451, and the slavery time period in America.

Fahrenheit 451 has a society that has many differences from ours. In the book’s society, firemen start fires instead of putting them out. However, Fahrenheit 451’s society also have similarities to modern day society. In the book’s society, people don’t read. Instead they choose to watch television a lot. In modern society, less people are enjoying amazing novels and sit, watch television or play video games all day.

“Nobody listens anymore. I can't talk to the walls because they're yelling at me, I can't talk to my wife; she listens to the walls. I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough it'll make sense. And I want you to teach me to understand what I read.” ― Montag to Faber, pg. 38, Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451. The novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury tells a deeply emotional tale of humanity’s possible future. The author states many ideas about our society today and his society during the time he wrote the book, 1953 during the Cold War. One of the primary elements he involved was the loss of human connection. He shows his ideas through technological advancement and the interaction a few of

Fahrenheit 451 shows us to critically think. Where there are soulless media like the ones on the parlor walls. We need time to think and to have quality information. Let’s place this in our society. Where we take many things for granted and do entertainment with no point, with no direction. Where some people do not take time to think, to learn from the past and to learn from books. Do we in our lives, take time to stop and think? Or do we watch the propaganda on the parlor walls or the tv, our phones, the screens of our computer?

In the book Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury does a pretty good job telling about the future. He wrote about what he believes the future will be like if we keep watching television and not reading as many books. For the most part Bradbury is right, he believes that people are paying too much attention to television and that human behavior will change and we will pay less attention to those around us. Bradbury also writes what he believes humans will act like and many of those have already come true and I wouldn’t be surprised if more of Bradbury’s ideas come true later on in the future as more and more people spend more time with electronics and less time in social interactions.

People should be given the freedom to think outside the box and outsmart technology. In the book Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, the society isn’t given an option to think or read books, but a man named Guy Montag decides to break that law and make a change in the community. In comparison to the real world, the government is taking away the opportunity to think by forbidding books, censoring many ideas to prevent people from wanting to see the outside world, and by letting technology take over people’s minds and attention.
