I viewed myself as a selfish and careless girl who believed I had no purpose in life. I strongly believed that school was a waste of my time. I remember that time I was so mad at my family and so frustrated I skipped class. I did nothing crazy, not at all. I remember I just went to the park and sat on the swings and just chilled until class ended. Sometimes you just need to breathe and stop to think. I don’t remember what I was thinking, but I know after I took that time to think and relax, I could start focusing on the now.

  • Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

    221 Words  | 1 Pages

    The theme that Bradbury is trying to convey to his audience television is dangerous and too much of it can be detrimental to society. On pages 70-71, Bradbury writes, “The old man admitted to being a retired English professor who had been thrown out upon the world forty years ago when the last college shut for the students and patronage.” This quote makes it clear that it wasn’t the government that originally decided to ban the books, it was the people who stopped reading them. It was the television that caused people to lose interest in activities and learning, and it was the television that is the true reason books were banned. Bradbury writes the conversation between Mildred and Montag, “‘Will you turn the parlor off?’

In the first chapter, Montag scoffs at Clarisse for asking: “Is it true that long ago firemen put out fires instead of going to start them?” To which he responds, “No, houses have always been fireproof, take my word for it.” (Bradbury 8) This exchange between the two characters proves how uninformed they have become after the banning of books.
