Book Report Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451 is a book by Ray Bradbury about people who live in a world where reading is illegal. They can read small things such as signs and such but reading deeply like books is illegal. They all know how to read buy they are forbidden to. Instead they are all plugged in, only watching Tv or Listening to music. Bradbury feels a this will be the future if we continue down the oath we are going, and I think he's right.

In the book the characters do not communicate with each other or spend time outside. If they do they are considered weird and possibly a threat to the government. For example clarisse who was a very opened minded girl who loved to talk to people and go outside and explore. She is the main reason montag changed his mind about books and fires. She was the one who opened his eyes. Clarisse talked to him every day, about how everyone thinks she's weird and she would ask him questions like is he happy. She would have normal conversations with him which everyone else thought was weird. Clarisse seemed happy and I think it was because she actually talked to people, not just montag but she talked to her uncle and her family.

They are basically headphones that montag's wife mildred keep in her ear all the time. Most teens keep headphones in their ear just like in the book, we feel as if headphones provide a sense of happiness. They also had wall TVs that stretched across all four walls. Like a room lined with TVs. Today we don't have walls TVs but we are slowly getting there. They are coming out with bigger and flatter TVs everyday. People in today's society want TVs almost like they are a movie theater. So far bradbury's prediction is right. Of course the book is a bit more exaggerated but we are slowly becoming like the book. In they also have this thing called a digital wall. They can talk to one another through it, which is similar to our messages apps such as facebook, twitter and
