Mildred Pierce Summary, Character Analysis, and Opinion

“He might come and burn the house and the ‘family’. That’s awful! Think of our investment. Why should I read? What for?” (Bradbury 73). Mildred never cared about literature, only her ‘family’. Even after she sent in the alarm for the firemen, and ran off to the taxi, she was muttering, “Poor family, poor family, oh everything gone, everything, everything gone now…” (Bradbury 114). Since Mildred never changes throughout the novel, she is static.

It was revealed that Mildred and her friends are the people that reported Montag to the firemen. Earlier, Montag offended Mildred’s friends by reading a melachony poem that caused emotion. Mildred did not stay loyal to her husband and instead reports him to the government, abiding to society. The main rift in their relationship was that they are on opposite sides of society, Mildred is very devoted while Montag challenges the society standards. Deep down, she knows that if she is instead devoted to her husband then her life would go down the drain. She would lose everything including her ‘family’ and therefore has no hestiation in turning against

Imagine you are a lawyer tasked with an impossible case, and everybody in your community is against you, but still there is a shred of hope you cling to. What might that be you ask? That to which you cling are your morals. In To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch had been given the Tom Robinson case, where a black man was convicted of raping a white woman. As a single father of two children, he continues to reinforce his values throughout the trial and during his daunting task of raising his children. In To Kill A Mockingbird what Harper Lee suggests about the nature of morals is that you should try to stand up for what you believe in even if people oppose or reject your ideals. Even when faced with an insurmountable opposition you should stand up for your morals because in the end if your don't follow your beliefs you are just contributing to the problem. We should try to create a voice for what we believe in and impress that upon the next generation so they can continue to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place.

Books have been outlawed, but some citizens refuse to follow the rules. In this novel Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury tells the story of Guy Montag and his fight against the government. As the story unravels Montag finds himself wanting to read books not burn them. Throughout the story Bradbury uses Mildred and Clarisse as an influence for Montag. Montag's job makes him burn books to earn money, but throughout the book Montag learns the importants of books and the wonderful information inside them.

In both the novels To Kill a Mockingbird, by Lee Harper, and The Death of Innocence, by Mamie-Till Mobley, a parallel is evident between the themes of the works, as well as, their courageous characters. The fictional character Atticus Finch describes fortitude with stating “ It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what” ( Lee 112). His ideals and fearless persona show similarities to that of Mamie-Till Mobley, who, in The Death of Innocence, fights for the civil rights movement after her son is murdered. Mr.Finch’s definition of bravery fits that of the figure Mamie-Till.

Metaphor/Inference: Mildred represents the corrupt society since she is the epitome of everything that the rest of society do and is the opposite of Clarisse.

Intro Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” is about a theoretical future dystopian America were everybody is ignorant and higher thinking is looked down upon. Throughout the book, there are very few characters outside of the firemen that works with Montag and the intellectuals that interacts with Montag. There are only a handfull of characters in this book that are just the normal person. Instead, Ray Bradbury spends a lot more time on Mildred Montag, Guy Montag’s wife. Through her actions and the actions of the other few normal people, it is greatly implied that Mildred is supposed to be the epitome of a normal American in this society. Mildred’s words and actions also show the flaws and consequences with living an ignorant life. Finally,

The question is agree or disagree, does Bradbury try to convince readers that even someone like Mildred is worth caring for. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 Bradbury does want to convince readers that even someone like Mildred is worth caring for, because if Bradbury did not want readers to believe that Mildred is worth caring for then he would not of had Montag so concerned about her.

On March 4, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt stated in his first inauguration speech, “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance," (Baughman). This quote translates to a confusing concept at first, but once discussed is practical: the fear of an individual should not be the concern, yet it should be the damage fear itself has on one. Little did we know at the time that this quote, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” would turn into “the very symbol” of Roosevelt’s Presidency (Baughman).
