    Fahrenheit 451 & The 5th Wave Fahrenheit 451 and The 5th Wave, are two very good, very different dystopias. They both have their heartbreaks, their fights, their moments, but they cannot be called the same. But instead of distancing them with their differences, how about we compare and contrast these two dystopian novels. Fahrenheit 451 is a society that is still functioning at the time of the book, and firemen are a large part of the story. The twist in the story is that the firemen…

All weren't interesting to me; either due to the lack of time the narrator and the character spend with them, or that they were introduced at a time in the novel where I was much more preoccupied by the difficulties encountered by the protagonist and whether or not he would survive. The protagonist's name is Guy Montag. He's…

It is quite terrifying to think how far the Nazis were able to go with their murderous ideology. Which is the primary…
