What is you're all time favorite movie and why? My all time favorite movie would be "Safe haven" it is not only a movie but a book also. It is about romance and drama and finding the real people who love and care about you. Safe haven is a movie by Nicholas Sparks it is a drama and romance movie so if you like the movie you will like the book.

The movie shows what true love is and shows you that you can trust and love someone again. You should give people

In Homeward Bound, Elaine Tyler May portrays the connection between foreign and political policy and the dynamics of American families during the post war and Cold War eras through the idea of containment. She argues that political containment bred domestic containment by tying together the widespread anticommunist views of the years following World War II with the ideal of American suburban domesticity. According to May, "domestic containment" was a side effect of the fears and aspirations that arose after the war had ended - within the home, "potentially dangerous social forces of the new age might be tamed, where they could contribute

“Revealing the truth is like lighting a match. It can bring light or it can set your world on fire” (Sydney Rogers). In other words revealing the truth hurts and it can either solve things or it can make them much worse. This quote relates to Fahrenheit 451 because Montag was hiding a huge book stash, and once he revealed it to his wife, Mildred everything went downhill. Our relationships are complete opposites. There are many differences between Fahrenheit 451 and our society, they just have a different way of seeing life.
Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides, inner struggles are paralleled with each setting. Taking place in the twentieth century each setting plays a significant role in explaining a theme in the novel. Fleeing Greece in a time of war and entering Detroit Michigan as immigrants parallel later events to the next generation of kin fleeing Grosse Pointe Michigan to San Francisco. These settings compliment a major theme of the novel, society has always believed to be missing something in their life and attempted to fill the missing piece.
Isolation refers to the “state of separation between persons or groups.” In 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, George Orwell and Ray Bradbury explore the idea of isolation in the futuristic world in which the novels are set as a warning to modern day society. The Inner Party uses several methods to assume almost complete control over their people. They want people to be cold and indifferent towards others, all while having fear slowly drilled into their minds. Isolation is something that the Inner Party wants to see. They want people to be isolated from one another so that the concept of “we” is completely eliminated. If everyone keeps to themselves, they cannot come together as one and possibly overthrow Big Brother, which is something that the Inner Party is afraid of.
Ernest Hemingway’s code hero can be defined as “a man who lives correctly, following the ideals of honor, courage and endurance in a world that is sometimes chaotic, often stressful, and always painful."

Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid’s Tale, Suzanne Collins, author of Hunger Games, and Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse Five, wrote amazing novels about serious and powerful topics. Each of these books are considered dangerous in their own way, from promoting violence, profanity, sexual themes, anti-religion, to basically any other potentially offensive theme is provided in these novels. It is debatable to which one is the most dangerous and most criticizing to society but I believe Slaughterhouse Five is the most dangerous to society due to the evidence of being against free will, which can result in individuals pursuing negative actions.
Nicholas Sparks, an American author, writes love stories. His novel, The Notebook, was nominated for book of the year in 1997. Nicholas Sparks’ novels are translated into over thirty-five languages.

Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of America's most renowned authors, demonstrates his extraordinary talents in two of his most famed novels, The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. To compare these two books seems bizarre, as their plots are distinctly different. Though the books are quite seemingly different, the central themes and Hawthorne's style are closely related (Carey, p. 62). American novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne is most famous for his books THE SCARLET LETTER and THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES, which are closely related in theme, the use of symbolism, characterization, and style.
“Together we must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose” (Dwight Eisenhower). In each of the two novels Brave new world by Aldous Huxley and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury this was displayed when each government created laws to control the public they didn’t go in guns blazing. The governments In Fahrenheit 451 and Brave new world put a ban on books limiting the knowledge the population could get, but equally each book also had similar characters in John from brave new world and Clarisse from Fahrenheit 451. Between the books Fahrenheit 451 and Brave new world, there are many differences but the similarities outweigh them. Both book have laws that ban books and similar characters but each book the a unique way of controlling the population
Imagine a world without the existence of books, does it make a significant difference or no impact to the society? Currently our society is at the verge of falling off a cliff, leading us straight to eliminating books, as our generation advances. In the book, Fahrenheit 451, books are completely outlawed by the government, which stirs trouble into the society.

The definition of dystopia is "an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one."

There were many differences and similarities in both of these books.
