The book Fahrenheit 451 is a book that promotes many themes and morals. There are more than just a few themes we can see in this story, some of them quite different to the others. Some of this has to do with violence, in the book we read about how young people go around killing others just like them or sometimes just because they are a bit different, which shouldn’t matter, another one about how the citizens are not satisfied with how they’re living their lives. What if many of them actually found appealing or amazing the art of writing but weren’t able to pursue that because in that society it wasn’t right to do that, it was more like a crime.

“They walked still further and the girl said, ‘Is it true that long ago firemen put fires out instead of starting them?’ ‘No. Houses have always been fireproof, take my word for it’” (p. 6) Clarisse asks Guy about past firemen, who put out fires instead of starting it; Guy denies this and insists that house were always fireproof. Seeing that Guy is an adult, but believes houses were always fireproof and firefighters never put out fire, it leads me to think that the story is set in either another universe or far into the future where society has changed a lot because in real-life majority of houses are not fireproof and a firefighter’s duty is to put out fires.

“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

Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, is set in a dystopian society. The government’s main belief is happiness is the result of everyone being equal. The government believes that certain books should be forbidden because those books bring false, individual ideas, which make people unhappy. Guy Montag is just like every other fireman: he does not read the books, just burns them. Then one day, he meets Clarisse, a young girl, that challenges his viewpoint of life.

Montag then meets up with an old friend, and they make plans to start a revolution by

The smell. The adamant stench of the smoke from the many chimneys, it sticks to me and ligers all day. The person who wears me is young and innocent, but his innocence has been perverted by the adulation he has for him. The Führer. But, he’s not the only one who is under his spell though, Adolf ingratiated himself with all of Germany. He forced people to wear a star so that they would stand out, (those people we blame for “all of Germany’s problems”). Did I say “we”? What I meant was they. They killed people because of their belief….

The first week of the semester is in the books and I have to say I’m happy with how all of my classes started. For this journal entry we were asked to compare three websites and answer several questions about how we feel about each website. The three website are Lascaux, Stonehenge, Ancient Egypt. From the little bit of time I’ve spent looking at each website I have to say the Stonehenge was my favorite one. Making that decision was really hard; the websites were all equally weird and had something that made it stand out from each other. If I had to make a decision on which place would be the most fun to explore I would have to say StoneHenge. The reason being it looks like it’s the safes place between the three. Another reason I would I think it would be fun to explore the StoneHenge is I found myself really interested in some of the facts about this places.

“And you don’t even know how he is Yuuri, seriously Seung drives me totally nuts sometimes, he’s so closed off, but fuck the bastard is pretty” Phichit spoke quickly after ordering their usual for lunch.

Surprisingly the more and more I read into each tablet I began to understand the ways or writing so much better than I did within my first passages I read. One section that did confuse me as I read on more past then what was given as an assignment, was the darkness passage he took. He would walk for miles on end not knowing where he was going or what it was leading towards. The half breads scorpions explains to him he cannot pass as a mortal that he would never survive, however after hours of hot darkness he then approaches onto a light in a distance. The closer he gets the brighter it gets. This light then ends up beings a forest of some kind. He steps into a beautiful garden filled with fruit, rubies, and other jewels. Past the riches he

Fahrenheit 451 "The Hearth and the Salamander'' Quote Journal Ray Bradbury demonstrates the theme "Overpopulation Leads to Lack of Individuality" in his novel Fahrenheit 451. The growing population lead to high a demand of housing. Construction began as soon as possible, which gave architects less time to create a variety of different houses. Bradbury states, "gentleman, drunk, coming home late at night, unlocking the wrong door, entering a wrong room, and bedding with a stranger and getting up early and going to work and neither of them the wiser'' (Bradbury 39-40). This exemplifies the drought of personality in their society.

They see me, they know. Wherever I walk, their eyes follow me. They see that I am weak. They hear my screams at night, and see me tossing and turning like an animal. Even when I look in water, I see that my eyes look drowsy and tired. There is a huge bump on my right eye. I ruptured a tear duct. I don’t even know when I cry, because I cry so much that I only notice when I stop. But it hurts to cry, the duct ruptures more if I do., but it’s even worse not to cry over my wife. Many of those around me had formed into teams and explored the city. I stayed in my makeshift bed. I had no intention of getting out. I was ready to leave everything when I escaped the city. Or so I thought. I hear people speak of

Lately, I’ve been losing sleep due to being waked up in the middle of the night from the sound of guns. Other soldiers and I have to crouch down in corners and empty our calibres. I have to keep watch for my things because if not they might get stolen. In the evening, the soldiers and I are aware of the the shells tearing down the barrier. When the sun rises some of the recruits are already green and vomiting because they are too inexperienced.
