Fahrenheit 451 Week 3

In both Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and Vonnegut’s “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, the authors show major concerns about the future. Bradbury’s major concern is the misuse of technology that leads to the corruption of society while Vonnegut’s major concern is overpopulation and the lack of natural resources for the future. Both authors show concerns that can turn out to be real if people do not do anything about the environment and about technology.

The book “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury was about a fireman name Guy Montag. Montag does the opposite from what regular fireman do. He starts fires instead of putting them out. Books in Montag's society is forbidden to read and if caught reading the book would be set on fire. Instead of reading, that society watches large amounts of television as big as the wall and listens to the radio attached to their ears. It was not normal for pedestrians to talk and have meaningful conversations until Montag met a teenager name Clarisse. Clarisse was a strange girl that opened up Montag thoughts. She asked him about his work and what made him become a fireman. One question that really got him to think was the statement “Are you happy”(Bradbury 10). Montag believed that Clarisse was odd. She wasn’t like the norm of the society. She read books, walked the city like a pedestrian and, had meaningful conversations. After that encounter with Clarisse a number of events started to happen to him; his wife Mildred tried to commit suicide with prescription pills, a woman that hid books in her home decides to burn a live with her books, and Clarisse is killed in a car accident., With all these tragic events occuring, Montag tries to find a solution to this epidemic. The society has become controlled from power, a sense of censorship. Bradbury has shown his viewpoint of society through this novel.

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).

Mum and Sophia walk into the lounge room with their glasses of water, place them down on the table and sit down; Sophia pulls out her phone while her mum starts watching TV, Sophia’s phone goes off. Mum freezes and Sophia starts talking.

The first week of the semester is in the books and I have to say I’m happy with how all of my classes started. For this journal entry we were asked to compare three websites and answer several questions about how we feel about each website. The three website are Lascaux, Stonehenge, Ancient Egypt. From the little bit of time I’ve spent looking at each website I have to say the Stonehenge was my favorite one. Making that decision was really hard; the websites were all equally weird and had something that made it stand out from each other. If I had to make a decision on which place would be the most fun to explore I would have to say StoneHenge. The reason being it looks like it’s the safes place between the three. Another reason I would I think it would be fun to explore the StoneHenge is I found myself really interested in some of the facts about this places.

This took a while. It involved a few burns and being poked in the eye. Finally the boys came to get the girls. They had to descend down their staircase like a princess. Baileys goal for the evening was the staircase. Sam was freaking out that she would have to pin a giant flower on her date. She managed to pin it on him after the third time.

I picked the top panel on page seven of chapter 12. I picked this panel because of the shape, the iconography, and the closure that is created. This panel is in the shape of a rectangle and makes it seem like this moment is stretched out and paused. It is very still because of all the death that is blocked off by the gutter, but it is still surrounding freezing it into a quiet moment of stillness. It is also a moment-to-moment transition panel, so the sense of time being stretched is further emphasized by this. If you look at Laurie’s distressed face, you will notice that her tear is the shape of the blood splatter on the iconic Watchmen smiley face symbol. With a little closure, it makes it seem as though she is crying tears of blood for all the dead people. Also, Laurie is wearing a choker with a skull icon on it that tactfully emphasizes the destruction of New York.

Today was a very bad day for me. They decided to throw a party for Felix for the 30th anniversary of the game. I was the antagonist in the game for the last 30 years, and they don’t even bother to invite me. Gene said that if I have a medal, I could live in the penthouse with them instead of the junk-yard (where I live). They then kicked me out. I was so mad, that I wanted to get a medal as soon as possible so that I could redeem myself. I’ll show them!
