In the book Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, the author predicts the future of today’s society. Bradbury predicted the future of today’s technology and societal issues. Some technology from the book that is similar to today is the small electronic earpieces that fit into peoples’ ears to communicate with people; nowadays, it exists and people call it Bluetooth.

Forge is the second novel in the Seeds of America Trilogy, a historical novel series by Laurie Halse Anderson. Geared towards middle-grade readers, the trilogy focuses on the story of Isabel, a 13-year-old African-American slave as she fights for her freedom and that of her younger sister as the events of the American Revolution rage around them.

Shusterman’s main character, Connor, adapts realistically to a situation where the safety of his life must come first, consequently illustrating a change from impulsive to reflective. Additionally, the conflict in Unwind that Connor encounters plays a role in compelling him

Ungifted by Gordon Korman was a very interesting and an amusing book. This book was very entertaining for me because Donovan was on the edge of his life everyday because of the trouble he caused, and also because this book has a viewpoint of most of the characters in the book, which gave the book more depth and understanding. I was very curious about what is going to happen next and when I started reading, I couldn’t stop. Donovan Curtis is the main character of this book, and I think he is a good character because he keeps on trying hard, and he greatly cares about other people and things. For example, at the school dance party, Chloe was getting bullied and Donovan protected her and he got Chloe out of trouble. I can relate to Donovan because when he moved to the Academy, he first didn’t understand any of the things the

In the movie and in the book minority report and in Fahrenheit 451 there were a lot of new technological advances. For example in Fahrenheit 451 there was parlor walls that interact with you i think that in 50 years there might be something like that. While in the movie minority report there eyes scanners and fancy cars that move in all sorts of directions i think that this will not happen and that the future in fahrenheit 451 is much more realistic. More than likely in the future there might be some form of eye scanners and maybe a hologram smartphone but nothing like these two stories.
