In the science fiction story Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury the society he portrays is shown as dystopian society and the society is damaging the lives of the people living in it. First off, in the story the school systems don't allow the students to express feelings or thoughts and, even variety. “,but do you know we never ask questions , or at least most don't; they just run answers at you,...that's not social to me at all.”(bradbury 29). The students don't get to think for themselves they are in a society where everything is shown as a black and white and dull theme, making everything feel unpleasant. Not only… But also, the people and the government does not care for themselves or their society, they’re just living in a place where they

It was a time of book-burning and close panic, which left Bradbury in disbelief that "[we] would go all out and destroy ourselves in this fashion'; (Moore 103). The writing of this novel was also an opportunity for Bradbury to speak out against the censorship of written literature that was taking place by showing the consequences of it. Bradbury believed that the censorship of books destroyed important ideas, knowledge, and opinions and restricted the world from learning about the problems of their culture. His writing came to show that without such knowledge, society could become very passive, which would make it vulnerable to the control and mind manipulating techniques of the government. Ironically enough, this book itself was subject to censorship on its initial release (Touponce 125). These political, social, and military tensions of the 50's lent to Bradbury's own tensions, calling him forth to alert the people of their own self-destructive behaviors.

“ I knew Ray Bradbury for the last thirty years of his life, and i was so lucky. He was so funny and gentle and always enthusiastic. He cared, completely and utterly about things. He cared about toys and childhood, and films. He cared about books. He cared about stories.” Even though Bradbury had issues at home with his family he never let it stop him from writing and chasing his dreams. He kept pushing forward as well as Montag, facing problems with his wife finding out he was no longer in love with his wife he still tried to make it work and focus on his main focus. “Despite economic problems that took his family twice to Arizona in search of work, and despite the deaths of two siblings, Bradbury’s memory of his early years is positive.”

“With rebellion, awareness is born,” quoted by Albert Camus. An act of rebellion can cause awareness and open people's eyes to horrendous acts. In the book Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury, when Montag realizes that the government wasn’t being fair, he decided he needed to make the society aware. Montag knew a rebellion was the only way to show that the government was not treating citizens right. It is acceptable to rebel when it is believed that the government is being unfair to their citizens because citizens should have the right to freely speak their opinions. People shouldn’t be told what they can or can’t-do for pleasure and they should be able to express their uniqueness.

In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury tells the story of a dystopic world where books are burned by firemen because they are prohibited. By presenting this, he makes a point on how books are essential and at the same time warning readers. He was trying to say,” If this happens, then this will happen.” He visualized this society in this book, based on his society, which is parallel to our society now. In the dystopic Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury examines his society at the time, and he admonishes readers about possible aspects of future societies, especially mass media, technological advancement, and peoples’ mental health.

Fahrenheit 451 has been called an ingenious and life changing work of literature. It could not have had this effect on people, however, without the incredibly pivotal part 3 of the novel. This part is what shows the inherent hopeful nature of the writing. Ray Bradbury’s intent when writing Part 3 of Fahrenheit 451 was to show how even a dark and dystopian world like the one in the novel can be reborn into a new and better society, and that even the most hopeless of situations can be fixed. He demonstrates this intent through an analogy about the seasons, similes involving wax dolls, and finally the overarching metaphor of the phoenix.

I had to agree about Ingram thesis. The first one when it said "what would Bradbury think of the world we live in now?" I now understand what this means. And I like the second thesis that is very connecting to the first one. He was thinking that books are the most intelligence part of the culture while the internet either give or send a bad message or information. I found him to see this is going to far. In Shirky, one of the thesis you put in is one of my work. To me, I just thought that this is to inform us. Technology helps us to find hidden information instead of looking at books for many hours. but with computers will find helpful information under an hour. Both articles you choose are very good and is on the point. If they just give this

Ray Bradbury wrote a book that warned about a future world that lived in darkness. That world that Bradberry described over five decades ago is this world's present. Was Bradbury just a crazy prophet who coincidentally forecasted the future, or was he a misunderstood genius? Ray Bradbury wrote about a growing disinterest in reading, obsessions with HD televisions and the wide popularity of personal earphones in his book “Fahrenheit 451”. This book was written over 50 years ago in a time where records were all the rage, reading was done for fun and televisions were the size of a box. Ray Bradbury accurately forecasts in “Fahrenheit 451” the almost non-existent interest in reading, the unparalleled obsession with televisions and personal earphones.

The novel is showing us just how bad life can get if we were to abandon things like literature. Even today, things are still censored from the public, but just like the book, some people have the tools and knowledge to get them. Censorship is huge, and people will do anything to find out what the government or anyone else is hiding. The government hiding things from the public will only lead to an unfavorable outcome, the public deserves the right to know just what's going on, and not be protected by a “mask”. Ray Bradbury talked about a lot of important things in this book, everything from freedom, to the powers of ideas.
