    In this compare and contrast Fahrenheit 451 book vs movie. My opinion over what the book misses and movie covers and what the movie misses that the book does not miss. The book was published in 1953 vs the movie that was filmed in 1966. I enjoyed the movie better because in the book it is pretty old even though it about the future in today's time it does not really seem futuristic which was confusing reading the book and the movie showed what I did not understand.

Other things that a dystopian society might display are citizens both living in a dehumanized state and feeling like they’re constantly watched by a higher power. Dystopias are places where society is backwards or unfair, and they are usually are controlled by the government, technology, or a particular religion.

Dystopias are illustrated in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, which extensively follow the characters, Katniss Everdeen and Guy Montag, and their quests to rebel against government control. The Giver by Lois Lowry, an ostensibly utopian community, succumbs to the typical, corrupt dystopian society, where the government is in total control of every aspect of the community. Although each novel, on the surface, has a diverse plot, they share a comprehensive idea: the effects of the government on society.
