Fahrenheit 451 Unit 2 Creative Writing

On the morning of Thursday November 4th, a group of firemen were called to an old lady’s

The book Fahrenheit 451 is a book that promotes many themes and morals. There are more than just a few themes we can see in this story, some of them quite different to the others. Some of this has to do with violence, in the book we read about how young people go around killing others just like them or sometimes just because they are a bit different, which shouldn’t matter, another one about how the citizens are not satisfied with how they’re living their lives. What if many of them actually found appealing or amazing the art of writing but weren’t able to pursue that because in that society it wasn’t right to do that, it was more like a crime.

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 the book Fahrenheit 451, author Ray Bradbury describes a futuristic society in which it is normal for an average individual to shun and absolutely loathe books. The main character, Guy Montag, works as a fireman, and his job description consists of burning books instead of preventing fires. Television is a major topic in this book, and for the most part, is portrayed as an extremely obsessive and deleterious item. Today, in American society however, television is a much more positive thing, and has a lot to contribute to a healthy, connected, and well informed society.

Have you ever not wanted to read a book but have to read it for a class assignment well Fahrenheit 451 is a good example of what happens when you don't read. Fahrenheit 451 is a valuable piece of literature because it can tell you what happens when people don't read books like we don’t. It may be what the world will look like in 20 years. It can make people want to read more.

11. Montag’s society programs thoughts so completely that “firemen are rarely necessary”. The firemen are used for burning books, to make sure that no one in the society reads or owns them. The firemen aren’t really necessary because the society already doesn’t read books or seem to care about them. They are in the world of technology and don’t want to gain knowledge or have anything to do with learning new information or facing the real world. Montag’s society programs their thoughts to have fun and be care-free. Books are something they already naturally don’t want to read or think about. This is why the firemen aren’t really necessary.

The mid August heat is blazing as crews break down the temporary stage from last night's concert. The stage was set in what looks to be almost a half mile long and football field wide dry river bed. I can see the appeal of placing a stage here with the Aventine and Palatine Hills on each side to accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators who would be able to see the stage. Once the stage is broken down this prime real estate in the middle of Rome, Italy will serve as a large park, but it was not always this way, the same reasons this park is used for concerts today is why the Circus Maximus was constructed here in the Valley of Murcia, Rome.

Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, differentiates from the cinematic form of the novel directed by François Truffaut in numerous ways. Bradbury states, “The movie was a mixed blessing. It didn’t follow the novel as completely as it should have. “It’s a good movie: it has a wonderful ending; it has a great score by Bernard Hermann. Oskar Werner is wonderful in the lead. But Truffaut made the mistake of putting Julie Christie in two roles in the same film, which was very confusing, and he eliminated some of the other characters: Clarisse McClellan and Faber the Philosopher and the Mechanical Hound. I mean, you can’t do without those!” Other than the characters in the story, including the score

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. She knew Cisco wasn’t going to try and stop her or ask her to come back, he was going to allow her to do he own thang and if she ever wanted to take the cure and come back she could. 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.

If parents book their kids so they are not use to free time, kids do not know how to use their unstructured free time when they have it. Kids that are use to always participating in an activity get use to not ever having to find something to do on their own. Kids going to school, then going to sports, and then coming home and doing homework never have time to think about what they could be doing if they did not have a busy life. If you hand a kid that is constantly on the move a ball, they might ask what they are supposed to do with it. If you hand a kid a ball that has free time, they will most likely find a game they can play using the ball. Also, kids who are never allowed free time to become bored are always focused on a structured

Here I am. Upon my horse, Ctesiphon I watch intently at the enemy forming up on the other side of this flat field. Remington fields, part of the domain of my former vassal, Reginald Remington. His annexation of the northland has made him bold enough to challenge my hegemony. Though I must really blame that faggot, The Crimson Kaiser, for setting up such a disobedient aristocrat during the "Treaty of Belgium.". For the first time in over nine hundred years that queer was able to force me to concede defeat. It is ironic that I find myself here on the same field of battle a hundred years later to undo the damage that damn treaty caused me.

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.

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.

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.

Suddenly, I feel a hard tug at my shirt and I am pulled harshly through the doorway and into a hallway with light grey walls littered with picture frames. I don't get a chance to look at them though because Jack wraps me into a tight hug and rests his chin on the top of my head.
