This is similar in Fahrenheit 451 because children dislike their parents and there is little family involvement. Clarisse’s family is classified as weird because of their unity (Bradbury 60).

The government uses conditioning to make everyone useful in Brave New World society. The two governments place censorships to prevent unfavorable qualities in
