Fahrenheit 451 Reflection

Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 presents readers with multiple themes. In the fictional society of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, books are banned and firemen create fires instead of putting them out. Bradbury portrays the society as dystopian. Bradbury crafted the novel to be interpreted intellectually. The characters claim to be happy. However, the reader can conclude otherwise. Bradbury creates a question for the reader to answer: Is ignorance bliss or does the ability to think for oneself

usually doesn’t have the profound effect on them that the teacher was expecting to. However, there is that one diamond in the rough that some students find, a book that makes them see the world differently. That is what happened to me when I read Fahrenheit 451. I always hated reading books in school. For one thing, the material usually wasn’t interesting, and on top of that, if there was anything exciting to learn, we would be hand fed the material instead of being allowed to figure out the purpose

In Fahrenheit 451 the main character, Montag was a person who is happy to be a fireman at first then throughout the book he changed his mind. He thinks burning books is same as burning a living things. After he met Clarisse he start thinking about things that he didn’t. Both his wife and clarisse shows him what’s right and what’s not a right thing. Montag said “It was pleasure to burn” in page 1, to show the readers that he is happy for what’s he was doing (Bradbury, page 1). He was glad to be a

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is a novel about Guy Montag, a firefighter in a futuristic 24th century America. Firefighters in this time started fires, instead of putting them out. The people of this time don’t read books, don’t go outside, or have meaningful thoughts. Instead, they watch TV and listen to Seashell Radios. Montag’s view changes when he meets a 17 year-old Clarisse McClellan. She opens his mind to nature and makes him realize that there is more to life than TV and technology. Montag’s

In my opinion, Fahrenheit 451 is a wonderful read. It was the type of book that you could really throw yourself into and understand on many different levels of thinking. I would definitely read it again especially because I feel like you can pick up a lot of small details that you missed the first time you read it. Reading this book triggered many different emotions in me. Sometimes I felt like I could really understand where a character was coming from, and other times it made me ask myself why

In the book Fahrenheit 451, there is a group of people that become books. It sounds crazy to the outside world of course but there is a lot of meaning to it. In the book there are a lot of mentionings of book burning that take place all over and people are murdered for harboring them. The conflict with the books seems to mimic the events of the Holocaust from how people used to harbor Jewish people so that they can be saved from the Nazis. The Jewish community were people too; and to some people

book and by simply looking at the cover, I knew this book was going to be something out of the ordinary. Seeing matches come out of the textbook and having it titled Fahrenheit, I had a feeling that it was going to be about fire. But the way that the author used fire in this book, simply took me by surprise to say the least. Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, talks about a society where firemen start fires rather than putting them out. Guy Montag is a fireman himself, and the people in his society, “do

Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, is a unique book that takes place in a dystopian future in which Guy Montag’s life has turned utterly upside down. His peculiar neighbor named Clarisse, who narrated his stories about the peaceful past which opened his eyes to a twisted present where people pay more attention to TV Families and not their actual families. Where people continue their senseless, ignorant lives blind to the fact that men like Montag who burn history to ashes, jail readers and

Annalicia Rees Farhenheit 451 Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, tells a significant story of a man named Guy Montag. This man is a fireman. In this book, future firemen no longer put out fires, but set them. More specifically they set fires to books. Throughout the book the more Montag learns about himself and his world the more, he as person changes. His point of view, mental state, and way of life are the changes in Montag that happen. It all starts when he meets his new neighbor Clarisse. Montag’s

his own son the way we’ve dressed him up, or is it dressed him down.” In Fahrenheit 451, few references are made to a higher power than the people’s comfort, but the the author, Ray Bradbury, portrays an uncanny resemblance to the Christian life. Through Clarisse’s act as a catalyst, Beatty, and Montag’s actions to escape the city, Bradburry parallels Christ, Satan, and salvation. Clarisse represents Christ in Fahrenheit 451. Before she talked with Montag, he was self centered and blind to the world
