    Fahrenheit 451 is a futuristic novel about a technologically advanced dystopian society, written by Ray Bradbury in 1953. Bradbury depicts a society that is completely content with the suppression of alternative knowledge and learning. The novel reveals that nobody has meaningful conversations, reads books, or explores nature. Instead they are filled with “noise” from televisions that are as large as house walls, radio broadcasts through “seashell” earbuds, or repetitive commercials on subways. Speed limits are so fast, billboards have been stretched out two-hundred feet long, in order to see the advertisement.…

    Throughout the Harlem Renaissance time period, many black Americans struggled to make ends meet and live a fulfilling life. Most black Americans were poor and unhappy, while few had the luxury of working and living among white Americans – often rejecting their identity as a black person. In addition, many poor black Americans hid their frustration and/or depression by appearing to be satisfied through smiles and singing. In Zora Neal Hurston’s “Sweat,” Delia Jones hides her frustration about her unfaithful husband, Sykes, and the hard work she must do with smiles, songs, and an overall contempt tone – even when presently angry. Hurston discusses the advances about blackness and the African American culture by presenting a black woman who has…

There's a shadowy middle ground. Recognizing and understanding the shadows is what a healthy intelligence does. And to acquire a healthy intelligence takes a certain amount of time and effort” (Murakami 226).…

    After viewing the short film “Our time is up” by Rob Pearlstein, I was able to place the five components of the plot structure diagram as presented in theatre class.

The exposition is the beginning of the plot, it sets the foundational background of the main character or the story. At the opening of the story, you see a time clock set, an immaculate environment where everything is not just clean but ordered.…
