In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the motif “both dead & alive” reminds me of walking zombies, the society, and Montag’s wife, Mildred. By walking zombies, I mean people who are living life without living. People who don’t even know who they are anymore. When I talk about the society in this book, I’m talking about a dystopian society. And Mildred? She’s totally conformed to this creepy society.

Violence can be described as a behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. Violence has been around from the beginning and can be seen through history in writing and events that occurred. In Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, violence’s jarring effects on societal members are evidenced through various relationships and partnerships, portraying society’s corrupt ideologies and ethics.

“The practice of violence, like all action, changes the world, but the most probable change is to a more violent world” (Arendt pg 80). Violence is contagious, like a disease, which will destroy nations and our morals as human beings. Each individual has his or her own definition of violence and when it is acceptable or ethical to use it. Martin Luther King Jr., Walter Benjamin, and Hannah Arendt are among the many that wrote about the different facets of violence, in what cases it is ethical, the role we as individuals play in this violent society and the political aspects behind our violence.

You can be stabbed or shot, but nothing compares the darkness of your mind. In The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street, what really caused the antagonism of the residents of Maple Street was the resentment and fear they felt towards their fellow neighbors. Ultimately, this proves that prejudices are more dangerous than weapons. Evidence that illustrate the example are when Charlie accused Tommy of being the “monster” because of his knowledge what would happen, as well as the accusation leveled against Les Goodman when his car turned on.

Violence is all around us and drips into our lives and the stories we read. Joyce Carol

When you wrote your book Fahrenheit 451, you were writing about a futuristic dystopia, where books were illegal and it was the job of firemen to burn houses and the books inside of them. This showed me the influence of the government. Because of how they changed the jobs of firemen through the given powers they already had, and their use of influencing us through technology. Showed me the full extent of the governments influence on our everyday lives through their given power and the power that they can seize without a fight or struggle.

Violence is one of the most exaggerated forms of physical aggression and it can exist for a series of reasons. It involves a person or a group of persons acting against another person or groups of persons with the purpose to achieve one or several diverse goals. In many cases violence results from individuals perceiving the acts of other people as hostile and thus wanting to act against these people before it is too late. Depending on the situation, more or less individuals might get involved in an act of violence, especially when they consider that it would be essential for them to do so.

I found this article very interesting as of a result of always loving when you put famous people into a traditional situations and watching how people react to them, or if people even recognize them. People tend not to notice what is right in front of them and tend not to stray from a task they already have at hand. Plus, while it is sad, the majority of people don’t care very much for the fine arts, so they might have not recognized him, or they just didn’t care about the music that was playing. On the other hand, the larger number of people parlaying to their work on time and don’t notice what is right in front of them. “Looking isn’t the same as seeing.” stated Dan Simons a psychology professor at the University of Illinois.

The novel “Farenheit 451” written Ray Bradbury between 1950 and 1953 is thought provoking novel which raises important concerns about what the future may hold. Predominantly told through the eyes of the protagonist Guy Montag Bradbury warns humanity of a future containing mind manipulation, abuse of technology and heavy government censorship. The purpose of this book is clearly to warn society of the path we are headed to if we continue to value new technology over knowledge by showing us “that although knowledge can cause disharmony, knowledge of the past can help prevent man from making similar mistakes in the future”. The title “Fahrenheit 451” is significant to the book because it represents the temperature at which books ignite. Since

Violence has been around since the beginning of human kind, although the way that it is viewed and portrayed has changed since then. This becomes obvious when history is considered because humans evolve and technology advances, so does the way that we view things and technology, alone, has changed so much since the 1800s. However, there is a common theme between the poems surrounding violence that we have studied in this class. It is the silence of those who are an integral part of the violence. The way that this silence is portrayed differently as the works progress from modern to post-modern, starting with two of Robert Browning’s poems, followed by a work by Wilfred Owen and ending with Simon’s Armitage It Could Be You. These works span

Violence is not a single kind of activity, but rather a socially defined category of activities that share some common features. The play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare is about Hamlet’s rough life and how he copes with his father’s death knowing his uncle killed him. Throughout the play, Hamlet enforces violence through his actions by seeking revenge. Therefore, one can infer that violence limits people’s choices.
