The song Outsiders is talking about when someone is feeling left out in the world. In society today, it is a hard to fit in because they say that everyone should look a certain way or act a certain way. Some people are called outsiders, which means we are not like everyone else but can be a good thing because it makes us unique. It also talks about how being outsiders is who we are and forget the other people that do not like us for being ourselves. That means it is better to be ourselves than to pretend to be someone we not just to fit in society.
The song Outsiders can relate to Clarisse because she is different from the rest of the citizens in the society. She is trapped in this society that is broken by making people act the same way, and think the same way. Clarisse is known as antisocial and weird but in reality it's the society that is weird for making it dull and lackluster. Clarisse is feeling free because she is different and she know that the

The society does not want books because they do not want people to be smart, which causes violence and war. Since the firemen, burn the books and those who read are saving people from violence and are happy people. A society without books and knowledge is a better place and everything is a perfect. The society just wants peace among people and them to stay happy. In the song I’ll Be Good by Jaymes Young is about how a guy who was that had a horrible past and made mistakes throughout his life. This explains to us that we as human beings will have past that we would never want to remember ever again. In reality, our past helps us wake up and realize that we should change and become a better person. Our pasts also help us become the person we are today and teach us lessons from our mistakes. Now in the present, we are a better person because we learned from our past and to find who we are
Clearly it can be identified that Clarisse, Granger and Montag are in the same category as outcasts for their various talents and gifts. Intelligence is something that is developed through books and teachings passed on from generation to generation and all three characters have an influence while they talk to people around them. Bradbury has definitely made it clear that outcasts in this novel and in real life suffer greatly and have to go through great measures to stay true to their beliefs and values. Bradbury communicates his thoughts on the effects of social conditioning and how much of an impact it has on a person’s mental health through this extraordinary novel. Overall, Bradbury connects his perception of society through the vast personalities
“There must be something in books, something we can imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing.”(Pg. 51) Main character Guy Montag is a servant to a society that is controlled by censorship and the fear of knowledge; Montag has spent his life burning books, to prevent the spread knowledge. But a series of events cause Montag's mind to change, and result in him breaking free from his society. The internal struggle of dynamic character Guy Montag, as to whether he should go on believing the lies his society has told him, or risk his life for something as simple as words on a page, brings readers into the corrupt society of Fahrenheit 451. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 author Ray
Finally, throughout the novel Bradbury presents a conflict between ignorance and understanding. The general society is being numbed into believing that knowledge makes people disagree with each other and unhappy. To prevent people from reading and gaining knowledge, the firemen burn all books. By committing these actions, they are promoting sameness and ignorance, to supposedly maintain happiness among society. Captain Beatty explains the history of firemen to Montag, speaking of their society’s view of equality. “We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the constitution says, but everyone made equal . . . A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man’s mind.” (Bradbury, page 58) Captain Beatty is hinting that books encourage people to question authority and think about why things are done the way they are
Technology destroys the significance of interaction we have with one another. It also disconnects us from the real world. In Fahrenheit 451, Mildred, Montag’s wife, isolates herself from the world because of her overuse of technology. “‘Will you turn the parlor off?’ ‘That’s my family,’” she replied (Bradbury, 48).The quote shows that Mildred is addicted to technology and shows a lack of care when her husband is directly speaking to her. In Fahrenheit 451, the author shows the dangers of technology when it overthrows true human interaction. As a result, people have lost their voice and are afraid to speak up for what they believe in. The deadening power of technology causes people to lose interaction, increases isolation, and destroys the strong relationship between people.
they are considered useless. The firemen's new job is to burn and destroy any book found. An issue in the book is when the firemen get a call to an old woman’s house that is filled with books. She refuses to let her books burn so she starts the fire herself and burns with the
What is an outsider? An outsider is a person who is not excepted by or is isolated by society. Have you ever been an “outsider”? Everyone experiences a situation where they weren’t able to fit in. The feeling of not being able to fit it is universal. Not everyone is the same and in certain situations you may not be able to bond with everyone. Everyone is focused on being judged or being the person who is judging someone. If you are not like everyone in your society group, those people don’t except you. Nowadays our society feels that if you aren’t up to people’s expectations, you are known to be an “outsider”. Being an outsider is universal because not everyone is social, not everyone can afford nice things and not everyone is popular.
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.
I believe the Outsiders are representation sped up by the greasers like Ponyboy, Dally, Soda, and the others. They are extracted from others and are people that don’t fit in with the crowd. The factor is they are poor and are unnoticed unless they make trouble. These are boys who don’t care they smoke and act like a family. Unlike the other gangs this has no leader and have individual leaders. Like for these examples to use Outsider it needs to be defined. Outsider or an Outsider is a man or woman or group whom doesn’t fit with the rest of the crowd and ends up sticking out like a ball in a haystack it is extractable but easier than the needle. There are many ways to describe this like how in a crowd of people the Socials could spot Ponyboy
The Outsiders is a thrilling novel that is a heart racing drama that will keep audiences reading all day. S.E. Hinton is an author of many award winning books and she definitely knows how to capture the heart of readers with theme and mood constantly changing throughout the characters. This stimulating story is a classic novel that teaches lessons of discrimination, the need to belong, and the conflict against the protagonist. The town is separated between two groups and the gang of friends are constantly in trouble and trying to make it through their day. The book is full of trust and depending on one another. The Outsiders is truly a novel that entices the reader to keep ripping through the pages as love, death, and heroism take up the pages.
We sit on the subways and we ride on the busses, we drown the outside world with our headphones and our television sets, and we walk on the sidewalks brushing past one another just enough to avoid physical contact so that we can continue on our "merry" way towards our next destination. As a society, we beeline our way through life, weaving between moments of rendezvous and accidental concurrence, and we surround ourselves with instruments of interference in an attempt to pull ourselves out of the day-to-day life. As they say, art imitates life, and in a very sadistic way Fahrenheit 451 imitates what we are, and what we could become. Fahrenheit depicts a future where the common people surround themselves
Psychics are real. You can’t learn your future from a crazy woman in a wig who touches your hand or reads tarot cards, but if you read fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury 50 years ago you would have seen a prophetic vision of what modern-day american life would be like. In Fahrenheit 451 what many would call a prophetic interpretation of what our society has become, and how divided we are as a nation we see this through the description of fake news, social lives coming to a complete stand still, and the obligation to satisfy everyone.
An outsider is someone who would like to fit in a particular group, but is not accepted by the people in the group because they do not know much about the person wanting to fit in. Most outsiders are labeled as “weird” just because they are a little different than the people in a group. Most outsiders are never given the chance to show who they really are, and show the people in the group their true great personality, so people never know how cool they really are. Outsiders are outside the group because they simply are never given the chance to be understood by the group members.
Outsiders are those who are misjudged and misunderstood. They are misjudged and misunderstood because people in our world can not accept people who are different from themselves. Also people have certain expectations for people. The last reason is that people come from different backgrounds. They are raised differently, so that has an affect on how they are.
Conclusion : I´ve finally figured out why I burn books. I now understand more about my society how it works and why. Books were replaced. Technology began to advance rapidly, lessening the importance of books. As our population increased dramatically, our world was full and people could not afford books. So books were cut down to paragraphs, sentences. Also I now finally understand that our society is based on pleasure, on what people want, on happiness. Books, for example, created different ideas, disagreement, conflict. Books didn´t fit in with our perfect and innocent society. And the main reason for that was: they made people think. Thinking was what really created the conflict. Our society does everything possible to prevent people from
Outsiders are those who are misjudged and misunderstood. They are misjudged and misunderstood because people in our world can not accept people who are different from themselves. Also people have certain expectations for other people. One other thing is that people come from different backgrounds. They are raised differently, so that is an affect on how they are.
