description of the story, a theme, and a rhetorical question. The picture

made me interested in the story because they

    A book can be a person’s best friend or worst enemy. It can take the reader on an adventure or bore the reader to tears. Many people will read and get lost in a great book before they see the movie Hollywood has made out of it. Some will think the film ruined the book, while others like the movie better. Most writers have a bright imagination, with a specific message in mind for the reader. Sometimes Hollywood gets the writer’s message across in the movie, and sometimes it leaves the audience clueless. In Ray Bradbury’s science-fiction novel Fahrenheit 451, the general message is that technology is taking over the world, and people are living like robots. Ray Bradbury wrote this book in…

    By compelling Montag to think about his life and satisfaction, Clarisse McClellan acts as a catalyst for Montag’s transformation of character. After meeting him and discussing nature and their surroundings, Clarisse asks Montag if he’s happy as she leaves him, to which he realizes that “He wore his happiness like a mask and [Clarisse] had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back” (Bradbury, 12). When Clarisse, an abnormal member of their careless society, continuously asks questions to him, she pushes Montag to think about his life and whether or not he actually enjoys it.

    Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is a modern day allegory for censorship of the media shown through the prohibition of books in the novel, and the restriction of Internet use in China and North Korea. In modern times, the Internet is a huge source of information. Over one third of the population of the world uses the Internet and that number is growing rapidly. Books are another widely used source of information with over 129 million books printed per year. Owning books in Fahrenheit 451 is punished by imprisonment or death via the Mechanical Hound as well as the books being burned by the firemen. In China and Korea speaking out against the government through the Internet could result in death or imprisonment.…

    In Ray Bradbury’s All Summer In a Day, he teaches readers not to bully someone because you are jealous of them. In the first paragraph readers will learn how the kids are jealous of Margot and why. One example of this is when one boy denied that Margot wrote the poem she shared about the sun. Some people may think that the theme is “don’t bully someone just because you don’t like them.” Yes maybe they don’t like her but someone shouldn’t just bully someone else even if they have a reason or not. Also Margot got locked in a closet, but why? Well Margot saw the sun when she was eight and the other kids saw it last when they were two. So, this story contains jealousy and bullying. Learn how jealousy can turn into bullying.…

    One theme demonstrated in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, is ignorance versus knowledge. It is a certain kind of knowledge that most people in this future-set world lack. Not the knowledge that is about facts and how well you retain them, but the knowledge that is awareness, consciousness, and realization of what is going on around and using it to good use. Knowledge has power. Guy Montag slowly starts gaining this intelligence throughout the book, and strives to find other people with the same knowledge. Ray Bradbury discusses this theme through many different forms of figurative language including symbolism, personification, imagery, and similes.…

You made me question my job and the life I was living in a positive way. I stood up to Captain Beatty and helped make a necessary change in this society, and it was all thanks to you. If it wasn't for you, I would still be doing the wrong thing. My job is to be a ¨firefighter¨ and not a firelighter.¨…

In the story A Man For All Seasons by Robert Bolt, the Common Man is a conformist who highlights many important roles of society in England during the fifteenth century. The Common man appears throughout the play as: Sir Thomas More’s steward named Matthew, a boatman, a publican, a jailer, a jury foreman, and a headsman who decapitates Sir Thomas More.
