Consider the role of television in the film; and how it used in society. What role does it play in this culture of the film and why is it preferred to reading? Usually, the parlor walls contain large wall-sized television screens. They put a screen that is as large as the wall in a particular room, and if they can get all four walls of a room covered in television screens, then you have a total and complete interactive and entertainment package. At the beginning of the movie, Mildred and Montag have three T.V. walls in their "parlor" or living room, and Mildred is hinting around to Montag that she wants yet another one. However, the cost for a T.V. wall that is exorbitant it is nearly a third of Montag's yearly salary, which makes it so expensive; so it is a hard decision to make for him and his wife.…
The Fahrenheit 451 symbol I created is an atomic bomb with the tail of a book. This represents Montag because he spread knowledge and the importance of books to the society and it ended with the fall of the city. He knew the power of books and people hated him for it. The background is perfect blue skies with clouds because it shows how shielded from the truth people were in the society by the government. they don't even know anything about neighboring cities. “And across the world, thought Montag, how many other cities dead? And here in our country, how many? A hundred, a thousand?” (155) Everyone thought everything was okay and just another war until suddenly the bomb came and decimated everything around them and the intellectuals and montage…

Finding meaning in life is something that every human has considered and struggled with before. This dilemma-this search for something greater than the mundane state of simple existence- drives humans to truly live, to create, and to prosper. Unsurprisingly, the multitude of characters in Station Eleven experience this great debate as well. For example, the novel’s heroine, Kirsten, tries to find meaning through her love for acting. While in St. Deborah by the Water, Kirsten, performing Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream as Tatiana, “never feels more alive than at these moments. When onstage she fears nothing,” (Mandel 57). Amazingly, Kirsten “fears nothing” although fear defines human existence in the post-flu world. On that account,…

One of the major themes of A Raisin in the Sun is the need to band together as a family and fight discrimination as a unified group, as opposed to a group that cannot stop fighting within itself.…
Happiness is false in Fahrenheit451; the government defines it and those who submit to society’s ways of happiness are not perturbed by reality. The government delivers to society frivolous entertainment giving them distractions from the grievances of reality. Beatty lectures Montag on why books are bad while he is at home faking sick: “If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides of a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none” (28). There is nothing for society to worry about because they are not given anything to care about; there is no understanding of reality for people of society to process. When there is nothing to worry about there is no need to care for the reality of the surrounding world. People are an empty shell not emitting any actual emotion towards the reality surrounding them. This is evident with Mildred when she attempted to kill herself, but was not entirely aware of her actions. Montag has extreme difficulty dealing with her lack of understanding: “Let you alone! That’s all very well, but how can I leave myself alone? We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important something real?”(49). Government is giving society a form of happiness so society does not have to deal with reality. When society is not bothered by the truth of the world and is living in its own form of reality instead there is no need for tears or emotions. Instead of emotions there is only activity and constant entertainment, entertainment that is used to distract individuals from the intense world around…
