The theme I chose for my project was “There is no perfect world”. It’s impossible to make the world happy all at once because everyone has conflicting ideas and opinions. To express my theme I decided to draw a circle and on the inside was the “perfect world” aka. Fahrenheit’s 451 world. I drew people watching the parlor because the parlor was the world. I wrote the words, “Be Happy! Be with Family," because, in that society people only want to feel happy and not think about or be curious about why things are done or if life is really perfect. When I wrote, “Be with family," it refers to Mildred, talking to her parlor and spending time with them as if they were her real family. On the sides of my main picture I drew six little circles and inside them were drawings of things that were common or major depressing events that happened in the “perfect world”. …show more content…
The mask is like putting a pretty painting over a hole in the wall. The wall would now look appealing on the outside but, broken behind it. Montag didn’t want that pretty painting anymore to hide his brokenness, but learn to express them and understand his emotions. These “happy masks” relate to my theme because in a perfect world you are not acting happy but living happy. The crying women represents Mrs.Bowles and her new found emotion of sadness. If it was a perfect world no one would cry and be depressed just because of a silly poem. The crying shows more of a compassionate and meaning full side of Mrs.Bowles. The flaming match represents the women who set her self on fire with her beloved books. It refers to the quote, “You can stop counting” she said. She opened one hand slightly and in the palm of the hand was a single slender object. An ordinary kitchen match,” the match shows a little fire then escalates to a larger one that leaves her

Rationale: (197 words) The question that I chose from this unit was, “to what extent do the actions and decisions Malcolm and Montag make throughout the story portray the issues within their societies?”. I was interested by this question because of how simple of a term the question referred to and how it took the term deeper. While talking about the science fiction unit the protagonist was brought up as nothing special.
Dystopian Affairs Ray Bradbury’s depiction of a dystopia is interpreted through Guy Montag and his escape from society as well as Captain Beatty and his desire to get rid of books when they explore the technology and its advances in his novel, Fahrenheit 451. Born in a time of despair from the ongoing World War II, Bradbury fell in love with books as well as horror from a young age, and he enjoyed the sense of adventure it created (“Ray”). Bradbury uses “Fahrenheit 451 [as a reflection of his] lifelong love of books and his defense of the imagination against the menace of technology and government manipulation” (“Ray”), and bases his plots, characters, and themes on his past experiences and memories. World War II is a time period when literature was suddenly disappearing and technology became greatly significant. Realizing the troubles technology will create, Bradbury wrote stories based on dystopian affairs, including his most powerful novel, Fahrenheit 451.
Bradbury characterizes the firefighters in Fahrenheit 451 as unoriginal duplicates in this passage by utilising sight and smell imagery as well as rhetorical questions to make apparent the uniformity of the society and its connection to the loss of individual identity. The characterization of Bradbury’s firefighters is accomplished through imagery to prove the uniformity of society. Having all firefighters look the same creates a certain distance between them and the rest of society, this alienation allows for easier/greater control over both the firefighters and the general population, which in turn . The firefighters were described extensively in this passage with major similarities to the fires they are responsible for, “their charcoal
In the poem by Acosta, she uses imagery and figurative language to present the quilt as a symbol for her memories and the mother's love for the family. Acosta was illustrating to the reader how the mother sewed the quilt by hand and stated," galloping along the frayed
1. Summary: In this section of Fahrenheit 451, many interesting things happened. Montag kept bringing up Clarisse and what made her special. Mildred did not want to talk about Clarisse because she was dead and wanted to talk about someone who was alive. Montag wanted to learn why he was reading books and the purpose of them.
In the fictional novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, the two character Montag and Clarisse, lived in the future where the government is corrupted. As time evolve and the world is changing, the sense of logic become twisted in this society. The world in "Fahrenheit 451" is a place where the idea of "firemen put fires out" appeared to be "long ago" (Bradbury 25). Firemen in this society no longer put out fire, but instead going to start them. The action of a firemen spraying "kerosene" over burning fire is described as an "amazing conductor playing all the symphonies" suggest that this society is twisted (Bradbury 2).
In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, the struggle for freedom is shown through Montag’s perseverance to read and own books from the beginning of the novel to the end. After Montag quickly decides that his wife deserves to know that he had hidden books, “Then he reached up and pulled back the grille of the air-conditioning system and reached far back inside to the right and moved still another sliding sheet of metal and took out a book” (Bradbury 65). At the end of part one, this event occurs and it describes how serious of an issue it was if they went against the law and kept books to read.. Furthermore, this quote from the novel proves that the struggle for freedom is shown in the image it gives to a reader's mind of how skillfully he had to
Her “homely sketch” symbolizes her life. It shows how all though she has gone through depression and her life hasn’t been perfect, she realizes she must accept it. Her experience with depression shows her that no one’s life is perfect and many people will go through many different things. She finally understands that whatever has happened to her in her life has made her become the person she

Have you ever thought about how living in a dystopian society would influence your life? Well, the idea of censorship is used in the novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, to make an impact on the audience. Bradbury uses certain elements of dystopia in his novel to show censorship, which significantly effects the society in the novel. For example, Bradbury uses the dystopian element that says citizens live in a dehumanized state, to show that their society believes that curiosity is unacceptable. Next, he uses the idea that in a dystopian world, information, independent thought, and freedom is restricted, to show how books are bad in their society.
The real world is getting more and more like the world of Fahrenheit 451 every day. People’s minds are pretty much controlled by whoever has power over them. Nowadays people can't even think for themselves, they always need someone else to think for them. Nobody can handle the truth, so everything is sugar coated and reality is just swept aside and forgotten about. Mind control relates to both of these worlds that are getting to be more and more similar as life goes on.
Before the start of this class, I overused common imagery such as “shine bright like a diamond” to try to convey my feelings. Writing with clichéd imagery dilutes the reader’s attachment to the story because emotions are absent. In this class, I have learned that I have to reflect on my true feelings and emotions before writing. Hopefully allows my readers to feel what I once felt. My favorite imagery that I have written in this class was the spider web in the essay about my grandfather.
The great depression was the worst economic recession in the history of the industrialized world. Majority of the population was homeless and starving. People were running out of food and there were very limited number of jobs. Whenever a job came available, people were forced to move to support their families. The struggles and adversities citizens were obligated to face was unreal.
