    There are differences between Fahrenheit 451 and our world today. The school should include Fahrenheit 451 in the curriculum because this book shows how people don't interact with each other great because of technology.The school should include Fahrenheit 451 in the school curriculum because it shows how people today don't interact with one another because of technology. The Book shows how the world has advanced in technology, but not in relationships. One reason they should include this book in the school curriculum is that the characters in this dystopian novel can’t have real conversations or think, because they are so consumed by technology. For example, Mildred was always watching shows on the TV walls or she had the electric bees plugged in her ears. “‘I’m tired of listening to this junk,’ said Mildred, turning from him to the announcer again.” (Bradbury, 65) Truly ironic, isn’t it? This quote is a good case in point of how Mildred wasn’t able to hold a conversation with Montag, and was more interested in the TV show. Kids today reflect Mildred because they are glued to the silver screen, that they are not learning how to interact with each other. Also, they are not able to…

    With the use of symbolism, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 explains how a book burning and conformed society leads to soulless individuals who are obsessed with being dependent upon technology. After a reader of Fahrenheit 451 finishes the book, they either have a strong opinion about the comparison between Montag’s society, and today’s society, or they are simply a Mildred, having not a care in the world, and such. Ray Bradbury uses symbolism to create an outline for themes recurring throughout the story. One of the biggest themes, was the lack of thinking, no love for the important things, too much dependency. Starting in Chapter One, blood is a major symbol of the book, it really shows the reader, how horrible the society in Fahrenheit 451 really is. Blood represents a human being’s soul. And with Mildred’s poisoned replaceable blood, it signifies the empty lifelessness of Mildred and many like her. The ability to clean her blood out, and replace it, without worrying about types of blood is a bit concerning for their society, not to mention, the lack of doctors performing this blood replenishment..…

    In Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, he tells the story of a charector named Montag with a wife named Mildred. Even though, Mildred and Montag are married in the novel, he portraies them to not have the closest relationship and do not seem that intamite on a physical or emotional level. Shockingly, one night he finds Mildred in her room, laying on her bed with what he describes as "a snow-covered island upon which ran might fall, but it felt no rain." Mildred had overdoesed on sleeping pills. When Montag called the emergency hospital the men there acted like it was no big deal to them, like they have seen this happen all the time so now they are immune to showing any emotion when it comes to this circumstance. This and many more incidents is very similar to the modern soceity that we have today. Ray Bradbury creates a society that is addicted to technology, over uses drugs, and has a corrupt political process much like our own. These are the 3 major issues Bradbury addresses in this book. First, many people in the novel especially Mildred, over use drugs and in her case led to an over dose. Drugs are a dangerous and scary thing and should not be taken lightly but in this story Mildred "pops" pills like it is no big deal. Also, she doesnt even check how much of the medicine she is taking which is the most likely reason humans end up having an overdose. Secondly, Bradbury addresses the many issues society has with the political system. Most people now-a-days vote primarily based on appearenc. By most people voting mainly on looks, it leads to unfit rulers and many arising problems in the government. Lastly, the overuse of technology in the story is a key issue that lead to the down fall of the city. People are so concerned with technology that they are loosing cite on what really is important. They are more focused on technology and the "next and best thing" that they are not intrested and…

    Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury teaches that in this society it promotes balance and restricts knowledge .Even though the voice of people can’t be confined there are still those who put the determination through danger or grave. Fire is one of the main symbols in this novel.

As they are given, the teacher can list them in categories: fairy tales, Bible or Koran stories, stories from television or books or films, personal family stories, other types.

    Fahrenheit 451, as one of the most famous of Ray Bradbury's novels, portrays a futuristic world in the midst of a nuclear war. The totalitarian government of this future forbids people to read books or participate in any activity which promotes individual thought. The law against reading books is presumably fairly new, and the task of destroying the books falls to the "firemen." One of these firemen is Guy Montag, the protagonist of the book. Montag and his crew raid homes and burn books, along with the respective house. Contrary to this destruction, happiness remains the central importance in this future world. However, Montag is unhappy with his life for most of the book. He just refuses to acknowledge that fact. Montag's unhappiness is ironic until his self-awareness turns it tragic.…

    Where is our freedom of choice? When do we get to decide for ourselves what we are capable of thinking? Who is to tell us what we are supposed to think and what we are supposed to know? These are all questions that only a handful of people in Montag’s world asked. These questions can be tied into our everyday lives. Just look at the education system. They tell one that they are not allowed to say certain things and that thinking certain thoughts is a wrong thing to do. Clarisse says that all their school does is ‘teach you the facts’. Is this not what the education system is doing now? They are trying to fill one’s mind full of non-applicable data so that we can spit it back out for a standardized test for the county’s observation. All some teachers want to see are good test results, all the board wants to see are increasing test numbers from these standardized tests. Why does everything have to be standardized? Testing, testing, and testing. Yes we can spit back information, but can we apply it? How is knowing everything in the world anywhere close to going out and living it? She also stated that her school classifies her as anti social. What do psychiatrists do to teenagers or kids who are off in their own world thinking all of the time? They classify them as educationally challenged, ADD or ADHD. What if they are just on a totally different level of thinking? Have these ‘professionals’ ever stopped to ask themselves, “Is there something that we are missing here?” “Are we speeding by life to quickly to take a second and enjoy what other options we have?” Yes, rules and _____________ are fine, but just think if it gets carried out too far we might literally end up in Montag’s…

    In my class room I have to make sure that crayons, papers, construction materials, paints, markers, pencils, glitters and some more materials are ready and available for children in our daily activities. I have musical instruments like, xylophones, drums, guitars and CD to play and to sing along with and I have a place where they can arrange their own band. Children loves to play dress up, some pretend to be a Mom and Dad and some pretend to be a fire man so I also have a dramatic area set in my class room so they can explore in their own play spaces.
