Commentary On Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury their society is lacking three elements that our society is also missing. Faber talks about why books are important. In our society we don 't appreciate books and their value. In Faber’s society they don 't read books, so Faber is telling both societies why books have quality and are important.

(Hawthorne later added the “w” to his last name to distance himself from an ancestor of his who was a judge in the Salem Witch Trials.) In 1808, Nathaniel's father, a sea captain, died of yellow fever while

Daniel Shays did accomplish Shays rebellion. Shays Rebellion farmers couldn’t pay their taxes and the government was going to take their farms at first Shay’s Rebellion did not succeed but they did solve a plan. But Daniel did die on September 29,1825 But it had nothing to do with Shays Rebellion. In his later life he became a leader in the revolt of small farmers that resulted from post war economic depression; the uprising became known as Shays's Rebellion.

Fahrenheit 451 is a very interesting book for me to read. There are, sadly, many similarities from this book to our current society today. Montag's character changes a lot during the course of the book. In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 Guy Montag starts out as an unaware citizen and becomes a person who thinks more independently without conforming to the norm.

Although this gives him an advantage because he is not ignorant like the rest of the society, it ends up being a burden. While conversing with Montag, Beatty talks about how he has tried to equate the universe and make sense of the various opinions and contradicting ideas in books. Although to people such as Montag, Faber, and Granger this knowledge seems like an advantage, it is a burden to Beatty. Beatty is puzzled and troubled by the fact that he can not make sense of the literature, and for this reason he wants to die. By killing him, Montag frees Beatty from the shackles of knowledge and allows him to move on into an ignorant and peaceful state of mind.

Despite him writing an easy read, it is very clear that he is biased towards him. Throughout the book you have to learn how to read against the grain to make sure that you understand clearly what is happening. Because of Kazin being biased a weakness that the book has is that you can’t see much of the people that are on the other side. The people that were not fans of William Jennings Bryan, the races that were not white and Christians, for example Catholics and Jews. We don't get to see what Bryan thought about immigrants and factories jobs and because they were irrelevant to him, the book doesn't portray how immigrants felt about William Jennings Bryan.

This can be shown in the banning compared to the burning of books. In today's society there are books that are banned because of not being appropriate to modern society. This compares to Fahrenheit’s society because they burn books and limit information like the banning of books in today’s society. An example of a book that is banned is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Banned Books Week an organization that celebrates the freedom to read

Abraham Portman, grandfather of Jacob Portman, was born peculiar, and Jewish during the Holocaust. Being peculiar was not something that was admired, and they were not held in high regard. Fleeing German Nazis, Abraham took refuge at Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children, until the home was bombed on September 3, 1940. Yet, somehow there are signs they are still alive. In Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs, Jacob Portman ventures to the island of Cairnholm to seek more information on his grandfather.

David Baldwin was a strict disciplinarian. James would later describe his relationship with David Baldwin when in his essay “Notes of a Native Son” he wrote, “I had not known my father very well. We had got on badly, partly because we shared, in our different fashions, the vice of stubborn pride.” (Baldwin, 2012/1955, p.737).

On July 11, 2008, Stephen Harper officially apologizes for the residential school which is called reconciliation. People did feel heard but it was not enough. The movie “Rabbit Proof Fence” made in 2002, it showed that the half castes’ children were taken from their parent and got sent to residential school. Someone in the upper government has controlled power over who will be sent to school, and who will be sent to another place. But it was all done to make the American’s population more spread out.

Also, this book didn’t really have any action, obviously because the book was historical fiction. And honestly I wouldn’t really recommend this as a fun read unless someone had to read a historical fiction book. 3. Describe your reading experience. Was it a fun read?

Obviously enough, in the most cases, historians are not the direct reporters of past events, because there is no way to revisit the specific period of time; but, rather, historians use primary and secondary sources in order to report the historical event. As a result, Davis is exposed to stinging attack from Robert Finlay. He reviews Davis 's book in his article on The Refashioning of Martin Guerre by criticizing her method in writing the story as a historical work. For him, Davis’s treatment of Martin’s story is not a historical work, but rather fiction. Primarily, Finlay focuses on his criticism on Davis’s imagination of reconstructing of the Martin Guerre’s story in order to make a dramatized story.
