plethora of negative opinions of Family Guy, whereas others are huge fans. In Antonia Peacocke’s controversial essay, “Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious,” she portrays the belief that Family Guy is actually more logical and less ignorant, than people believe. I would have to agree with Peacocke because some people fear the things they do not understand, hence their dislike of Family Guy. Although I wasn’t always a fan of Family Guy, like Peacocke and many others,…

first event occurs at the very beginning of the book when Guy meets Clarisse for the first time. The brief meeting with Clarisse had planted some seeds of defiance in Guy’s head, “He was not happy.

There was a tiny dancer and melody in the air, her seashell was tamped in her ear again and she was listening to far people in far places, her eyes wide and staring at the fantoms of blackness above her in the ceiling”(Bradbury 39).

Thesis: Guy Montag in Fahrenheit 451, is aligned with the “bad guys.” He’s a firefighter who burns books simply because that is what is expected him, not necessarily because he thinks that books are dangerous. Guy undergoes a major transformation because attempts to revive lost pieces of society.

Guy’s yearly pay is only $16,000 and the fourth wall would cost one fourth of his…
