Fahrenheit 452 Montag woke up suddenly by a bright flashing light and a loud clap of thunder, he jerked up from his bed. As Montag tries to fall back asleep, he remembers his horrible past. Bolting through the towering forest with cuts and bruises, weak legs, giving it everything he's got to stay alive. Montag was shaken to hear a noise in the leaves after dusk in the forest but soon finds out its one of his friends from the intellectual group, Thomas. ¨Montag, long time no see.¨ exclaimed Thomas. ¨How long did it take for the firemen to stop chasing you?¨ Montag questioned. ¨I don't really remember. Everything is still just a blur, but do your think they will ever find us.¨ Thomas said scarcely. Montag then assured Thomas that they …show more content…
Then he woke up by the irritating sound of his alarm, he remembered everything he was thinking about last night and realized that he's come really far in the past two years. Montag rolled out of bed and went to put some bread in the toaster and sat on the couch next to Thomas. ¨Good morning, I made some eggs and put them in the stove if you want some.¨ Thomas said. ¨No thanks, I have to get to work on time today,¨ said Montag As Montag grabs his toast, he scrambles out of the apartment. He steps on the creaky elevator as it brings him down 8 floors. When Montag steps out of the rusty worn down elevator he strolls to his job, next door. ¨Good morning Charles!¨ Montag's boss exclaimed. Montag replied with a short good morning back. Montag sat in his desk and gazed at a picture of himself and Mildred. He sat in his desk knowing he will most likely never see his wife ever again. Montag swiftly opened his computer and looked up his new identity. His pale fingers typed, Charles David Johnson. He pushed the enter key, frightened to look he closed the laptop rapidly. In a couple of hours Montag asked to go home because they weren't getting good business. His boss agreed and Montag …show more content…
She made eye contact with Montag and gave him a sad glare. Clarisse then smirked and said, ¨I have my ways.¨ ¨You can come in if you want,¨ Montag offered as he gestured to the door. ¨I´d love to,¨ she replied. The three of them sat on the couch and talked about how they've all been for the past couple of years. In the middle of Thomas´s story, someone aggressively knocked on the door. ¨I'll get it,¨ Montag claimed. He slowly opened the door and was astonished to see Beatty and Mildred standing in the doorway. ¨I killed you two years ago!¨ Montag screamed. ¨The snake saved me just like it saved your wife when you weren't there for her.¨ Beatty yelled back. ¨How do you even know about that?¨ Montag asked in rage. Beatty responded with, ¨I know a lot of things just like I know you still have books, Charles. This time you're the one going down with a flame thrower.¨ As Beatty reached for his flame thrower, Mildred handed it to him. In that split second Clarisse pulls out her flame thrower and aims straight for Beatty. Before Beatty could fire at Montag, Beatty was on the ground dead. Mildred dropped to the floor and started

In Federalist 10 James Madison argued that while factions are inevitable, they might have interests adverse to the rights of other citizens. Madison’s solution was the implementation of a Democratic form of government. He felt that majority rule would not eliminate factions, but it would not allow them to be as powerful as they were. With majority rule this would force all parties affiliate and all social classes from the rich white to the poor minorities to work together and for everyone’s opinion and views to be heard.
To start, the novel Fahrenheit 451 describes the fictional futuristic world in which our main protagonist Guy Montag resides. Montag is a fireman, but not your typical fireman. In fact, firemen we see in our society are the ones, who risk their lives trying to extinguish fires; however, in the novel firemen are not such individuals, what our society think of firemen is unheard of by the citizens of this futuristic American country. Instead firemen burn books. They erase knowledge. They obliterate the books of thinkers, dreamers, and storytellers. They destroy books that often describe the deepest thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Great works such as Shakespeare and Plato, for example, are illegal and firemen work to eradicate them. In the society where Guy Montag lives, knowledge is erased and replaced with ignorance. This society also resembles our world, a world where ignorance is promoted, and should not be replacing knowledge. This novel was written by Ray Bradbury, He wrote other novels such as the Martian chronicles, the illustrated man, Dandelion wine, and something wicked this way comes, as well as hundreds of short stories, he also wrote for the theater, cinema, and TV. In this essay three arguments will be made to prove this point. First the government use firemen to get rid of books because they are afraid people will rebel, they use preventative measures like censorship to hide from the public the truth, the government promotes ignorance to make it easier for them to control their citizens. Because the government makes books illegal, they make people suppress feelings and also makes them miserable without them knowing.
Fahrenheit 451’s Relevance to Today Fahrenheit 451’s relevance to today can be very detailed and prophetic when we take a deep look into our American society. Although we are not living in a communist setting with extreme war waging on, we have gained technologies similar to the ones Bradbury spoke of in Fahrenheit 451 and a stubborn civilization that holds an absence of the little things we should enjoy. Bradbury sees the future of America as a dystopia, yet we still hold problematic issues without the title of disaster, as it is well hidden under our democracy today. Fahrenheit 451 is much like our world today, which includes television, the loss of free speech, and the loss of the education and use of books. Patai explains that Bradbury saw that people would soon be controlled by the television and saw it as the creators chance to “replace lived experience” (Patai 2).

1.I would describe Faber as a “ a loner but he is also a mischievous person ” . he is similar to montag by living and listening to the rules. They are different because Faber is always at home, he doesn’t go anywhere but montag does go outside. Faber’s purpose is to help montag understand book’s. “ that’s the good part of dying when you’ve nothing to lose , you run any risk you want”. Which is saying that because they loners they don’t have no one to answer , but Faber is a loner that wants n trouble “not if you start talking the sort of talk that might get me burnt for my trouble. “ plant the books, turn an alarm and see the firemen’s houses burn, is that what you mean” Faber wants to be tricky and plant books to frame firemen. “ I’ve a list of firemen’s residence everywhere”. “ you and I who else will set the fires”. Montag wants to go along with the deceit but he doesn’t want to set the fires .
The North Korean government is known as authoritarian socialist; one-man dictatorship. North Korea could be considered a start of a dystopia. Dystopia is a community or society where people are unhappy and usually not treated fairly.

Are you really happy? Or are you sad about something? Sad about life or money, or your job? Any of these things you can be sad of. Most likely you feel discontentment a few times a day and you still call yourself happy. These are the questions that Guy Montag asks himself in the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. In this book people are thinking they are happy with their lives. This is only because life is going so fast that they think they are but really there is things to be sad about. Montag has finally met Clarisse, the one person in his society that stops to smell the roses still. She is the one that gets him thinking about how his life really is sad and he was just moving too fast to see it. He realizes that he is sad about pretty much everything in his life and that the government tries to trick the people by listening to the parlor and the seashells. This is just to distract people from actual emotions. People are always in a hurry. They have 200 foot billboards for people driving because they are driving so fast that they need more time to see the advertisement. Now I am going to show you who are happy and not happy in the book and how our society today is also unhappy.
As human beings, knowledge shapes who we are and sharpens our personalities, respect tightens our relationships, and love is what we need to achieve a happy life. What if there are no emotions, love, and respect between a young couple? What if they both live in a world which lacks knowledge and books but is full of violence and TV shows? Guy Montag and his wife, Mildred, who live in the future world in the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, are in the same situation. By the attractive tone and voice, the author emphasizes their depressed relationship and makes it unforgettable for the audience. Specifically, from the view of their relationship, we can see the reflection of our modern world nowadays, where communication and feelings are replaced
