    Have you ever wondered where the irregular comedy from "Saturday Night Live" and other humorous shows have come from? Well, Voltaire's Candide is the origin. The events that take place in the novel would not qualify as humorous in reality, but the author uses certain effects to make it that way. The incongruity of humor shown in Monty Python and the Holy Grail is also derived from Candide in tone, expectation, and place.…

    I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was eight years old. It immediately became one of my favorite books. Over the next several years, I read the rest of the series many times, and I watched the entire series of movies almost as many times. However, I’ve never grown tired of re-reading and re-watching the first book and movie. The book, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone upon initial release in 1997, was re-titled later that same year as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for its US release. J.K. Rowling’s 310 page masterpiece was published by Arthur A. Levine Books, a branch of Scholastic Inc. The movie, also titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released in 2001 by Warner Bros.…

    Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel written by Ray Bradbury that depicts a futuristic American society where books are banned and independent thought is persecuted. Bradbury uses his imagination to take a hard look at a world consumed by technology, and he presents predictions about pleasure, violence and anti-intellectualism that are alarmingly similar to the modern American society. Notably, in both societies people find pleasure in entertainment that is endlessly preoccupying. Second, people are violent and careless. Finally, anti-intellectualism and suppression of independent thought affect both societies, as firemen ban books in Fahrenheit 451 and, in the modern society, authorities ban books that do not align with their moral and religious beliefs. There are many relations between the society portrayed in Fahrenheit 451 and the modern American society, first of which is the way people achieve happiness.…

    The current society is run by more men than women. The current society has proven that they would rather have a man in charge. This new society was formed to make people feel more comfortable and happy in their country/society. Also, it will make women more involved in the leadership of the society. The new society will be different because it will be run by men and women equally. The current society and the new society do have similarities. The new society will be a democracy and it will have the same health care and education system. Jahtopia will not be like Fahrenheit 451 because the society was corrupt and full of false happiness.
