Picture this, a world where books are forbidden, and watching television, almost all the time, was supported majorly in your society. Sounds good right? WRONG! Ironically, in the book Fahrenheit 451, that's exactly how it was. This book was based on the future, and what Ray Bradbury thought it was to be like based upon the habits of the youth during his time. The people in this book, are very similar to the people today, but the only variation between the people today and the people in the book is, the people today don't read books by choice. In the book people can't read books by law. In my opinion there's a deep message in the book. Ray Bradbury wrote about a girl named Mildred, who, i’m sure most of our youth could relate too. Mildred

I honestly think the youth will be way more demented and immorally absurd in the next generations, unless our generation gets our children together. My favorite character was Clarisse because people like her would be great mentor for children of our generation, she’d be a great influence for anyone, she was kind hearted, and viewed life as a big adventure. She seen the beauty in anything. “She licked her lips. “Rain even tastes good.”.” (Bradbury 21) Clarisse was very Pleasant to read about. She was the highlight of Montag's day, even though it didn't directly say so in the book. Clarisse probably wouldn't fit into today’s world either, like she didn't fit in then. She’s too nice, and considerate. Today, people eat consideration and Delightfulness for breakfast. I honestly believe today’s U.S and the books U.S are both bad, but the book had a reason to why they were the way they were. That honestly makes today, our reality, worse than what the people in the book were going
