They were not much food for a dog to eat. I'm a Siberian Husky, I was born near in a log cabin, I'm just little so I don't know much like how to hunt? Where to find food? How to live? Maybe I should get some rest. I need all the sleep I can get. Tomorrow, will be a great day, because the blustery is gone and its blistering. Did I forgot we have a king? Alexander is our emperor. He is a Border Collie, he's the ruler of this kingdom. Sometime he gets really greedy, if he finds food he will just chomp, chomp, chomp, and chomp. He gets the best shelter, it's very

    The determination Montag had to make things right slowly left his body as all six men reached the top of the hill. There they were, a huge crowd of firemen and the hound, it were as if they were waiting for them to arrive. They stood as if they didn’t care about the destruction the bomb caused. Men, women, and children lie on the streets, dead. Others just stood and looked not knowing what to do or what to say.…

    “His wife [Millie] stretched on the bed, uncovered and cold, like a body displayed on the lid of a tomb, her eyes fixed to the ceiling by invisible threads of steel, immovable” (10). Now, it may sound like Millie is dead, but I can assure you that she isn’t. Mildred “Millie” Montag started off in the book as dead, but later on the book showed us how she fit society’s norm. She is obsessed with her seashell radio and loves her “family” on the parlor wall more than she cares about her own husband, Guy. “Now, my ‘family’ is people.…

    As the cinders of what I once called my home rose from the ground, forming terrible gaseous smoke and clouds of ashen smog, it hit me: I had caused this. The bodies of my former colleagues lying on the ground were my own doing; the burning house that surrounded me was a consequence of my own actions, and the cries of my wife all those nights ago were because I refused to let go of the book in my hand, refused to let it burn like the many others that came before it. Once a respected fireman and enforcer, burning the laws of society into people’s minds, all I had left was the name they had called me by on the news: The refugee, Guy Montag, a man who had slaughtered his own coworkers in a fit of insanity, a man who had brought an entire library home in an…

    As a result of the Cold War, many aspects in the American Culture changed immensely. It was a time in which two superpowers held each other hostage, each afraid that one would have complete control of the entire world. However, it also brought about the increase in technology, more specifically the television, which rapidly intruded people’s daily lives. In the interest of preventing communism from spreading to the west, the United States limited the amount of freedom of speech that was allowed in the country and advanced its technology in an attempt to always be a step ahead of the Soviet Union. Thus McCarthyism – the practice of making accusations of pro-communist activities – was incorporated, and led to the belief that any disagreement…

It is important that everyone does their best to avoid censorship because the people in the community could have more freedom, more room for education, and they may also be able to change the controllingness of the government.…

    People have experienced this in life and these ideas are shown in many stories too. The theme and idea that change is hard to accept is shown throughout the book. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the theme of change is hard to accept shows the struggles that the main characters are going through, and the futuristic society that is struggling with the idea of not being with a tv or entertainment.
