Importance Of Education In Fahrenheit 451

As I see it Fahrenheit 451 should be restricted because some material of the book would be too vivid and violent for younger audiences. Sections of the literature could cause children to think that violence and to be more specific, burning things, is okay. I concur that strict parents would definitely not allow this book due to violence and some ideas that would go against someone’s

Fahrenheit 451 has been censored to high school audiences and younger because of multiples controversies and mature themes within the book. The article "Fahrenheit 451." from Novels for Students (a section of Gale Virtual Reference Library) states that one reason why Fahrenheit 451 is banned is because “The book people, represented mostly by scholars, will save humanity, while ordinary people

“Are you crazy? Fahrenheit 451 should not be banned! This is an astonishing novel, written by the ingenious author, Ray Bradbury. He is the one who wrote the novel with so many beneficial, underlying messages, which happen to be true about our lives and even more so about our society. It offers so much more than what you think”, I disagreed as I interjected the outraged crowd of opinionated individuals, who protested outside of the Wheatfield Public Library. As most in this community can tell, the banning of Fahrenheit 451 has caused a tremendous outbreak within the people, and it has caused for everyone to either choose to encourage the banning of Fahrenheit 451 or to oppose it. As a definite result, I am against the banning of Fahrenheit 451, and it is not just for pity reasons. I am opposing the banning for so much more than that. My first reason to oppose the banning is that so many people think the theme of this book is about rebelling, which this is not the case. Instead, the theme is about having the courage to make a drastic change within yourself and society because you solely believe it is right no matter what the consequences are. Even from the quotes you find within the book, you can tell the progress that Montag makes towards change, and from those quotes are not signs of destruction. It is signs of self-assessment and coming to reality to admit he needs to make the transformation in his life for the better of him and those of his society. From this underlying

Fahrenheit 451 was published in 1953 by Ray Bradbury in the US. His book is set in a dystopian society where books are illegal and and thinking is restricted. Instead of firemen putting out fires, they start them.. Bradbury’s famous book has been mainly challenged by middle schools and high schools. While Fahrenheit 451 maybe the most controversial novel in the 20th century, it holds the award as being one of the most notable banned books in history. No other book has been written like this so mysterious and real. The idea of how books are banned doesn’t really matter to most people. While Fahrenheit 451 might include some vulgar language and profanity, it shares ideas that can help young people.

Thesis: Despite the use of explicit language in Fahrenheit 451, it should be studies in schools for it conveys an important message of thinking for yourself and places emphasis on the value of written text and literature as a whole.

Juan Ramon Jimenez once said, “If they give you ruled paper, write the other way”. This quote shows the challenge of authority, like Montag and his society. Just like challenging the normal, or doing the opposite of what seems to be right by “writing the other way” on a lined piece of paper, Montag chooses to challenge authority by reading, remembering, and comprehending books, instead of burning them. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury takes place in a dystopian society in the twenty-fourth century and the main character is Guy Montag. He is a fireman whose job is to burn books and start fires instead of putting them out. Moreover, he lives in a society which just listens to government propaganda and follows whatever they are told; the citizens do not think deeply about aspects in life but rather focus on mind-numbing activities, that does not take any deep thought process. Books are banned but Montag takes the risk to start to read books, hoping they will bring him happiness in the dark world he lives in. In his journey he has three mentors who help him, Clarisse, Faber, and Granger. The protagonist, Guy Montag, changes as a result of the conflict within his dystopian society and this change connects to the novel’s theme of government censorship over its citizens.

One of the principal characteristics of a dystopian novel is the implementation of undesirable and horrifying conditions to its setting, and Fahrenheit 451’s society certainly has those conditions. These conditions are first shown when Clarisse describes to Montag what schools is like. She describes how they have “An hour of of TV class, an hour of basketball or baseball or running, another hour of transcription history or painting, and more sports, but do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don’t; they just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing, and us sitting there for four more hours of film teacher” (29). Clarisse shows that the children in this society are not taught to be critical thinkers; they do not have any real

This article is about the author having an interview with Ray Bradbury about how people are mistreated because they was been kept uninformed and ignorant about censorship when its really about technology destroying the use of reading. This is because in the book itself, reading is discouraged (illegal) and television is persuading. The author of this article suggests that Ray Bradbury would observe to see how has technology shows a problems.People will adapt when

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel by American writer Ray Bradbury, published in 1953. The novel describes a futuristic society in which books are outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found. The protagonist is a fireman named Montag who becomes perturbed with his role in censorship and destruction of knowledge, eventually quitting his job and joining a resistance movement that memorizes and shares the world's greatest literary works. As Montag struggles over the value of knowledge, he becomes a skeptical, rebellious and dynamic person, driving him to the fringes of society in pursuit of an absolute truth.

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.

In Fahrenheit 451, the education system is very laid back and they are too easy on the kids. The school system does not care about them from the looks of it because they let people bully Clarisse until she just left and never came back and they also try and keep everyone happy but this is so unhealthy because kids can get away with anything and the last reason is because being smart is no longer important, they go as far as to take offense in the word intellectual. The first reason why I find the education to be easy with kids is because they find that being smart is not important and it’s quite offensive. It’s very ironic because I think that people want to be smart in this day and age.

Lessons learned from reading fiction can be very useful to use while approaching your issues. Fiction fills our beliefs and desires and teaches us things we have didn’t know. Evidence I can pull to help support my claim is that real world problems are no joke. These issues shouldn't be taken lightly. Fiction can teach you life lessons that you may or may not known. The school board needs to think this through. If the school board makes this decision on taking away fiction from school, today's society, in my opinion, will get mad. Today's society can tear people down easily. They can adapt to many different things at once if they wanted to. They can make things worse for people or make things good for people. Not only is this book about fictional issues, it’s also about real world problems and how fiction can relate to us, the readers. “Researchers found that people who read Literary fiction, led to better results in every subject. That same year, they found that people who read fiction had a higher brain activity than others who didn't.” Fiction, in my opinion, should be taken down, because of this

Humanity often takes for granted the education we receive and don’t realize its effects on us. We fail to see that proper education reduces one’s gullibility, as those who receive training in critical thinking are less easily manipulated. In the novella Animal Farm by George Orwell, fascist rulers take advantage of the illiterate animals on the Manor Farm because they were oblivious to what was happening to them. Meanwhile, in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, citizens of a dystopian society have their access to education withheld from them, leaving them unable to think for themselves or properly assess their lives. In both works of literature, the author sees the importance of education being that illiteracy will leave one vulnerable to being manipulated due to their inability to thoroughly interpret and analyze situations with proper insight. In other words, being apathetic towards one’s education will only set them up for doom.

Fahrenheit 451 is an important book about the perception of the future if books were inaccessible. This book is also a valuable piece of literature because it explains to the readers that after reading a book you can gain more knowledge and everyone else.

The public of Fahrenheit 451 are seemingly unaware of how much they are being controlled and it takes only a few moments of clarity for the main character, Montag, to realize how corrupt his own society is. Bradbury uses his own life experiences of WWII and the Nazi book burnings for inspiration in the creation of his top-selling novel. Fahrenheit 451 is as entertaining as it is informative and a warning to the world about the dangers of censorship and protecting the freedom of
