We read books, write books, share books, books are not illegal. Also, our society is a utopia compared to Guys society. We have all the amendments, which protect our right.

There are many uses of fire in our daily lives. Humanity uses fire as a source of heat, the use of lighting, for cooking, and as source of energy. In "Great Expections" Charles Dickens uses fire in the book for those specific reasons as well but he also uses uses it as a good reference of emotion. A good example of a common use of fire in "Great Expectations" is blacksmithing. Fire provides a livelihood for Joe at the forge.

Can Graffiti Ever be Considered Art Banksy, an English-based graffiti artist, once wrote, “ TV has made going to the theatre seem pointless, photography has killed painting but graffiti has remained gloriously unspoilt by progress. Negative things are expected to come from graffiti. Even though it simply elaborates in wall painting. Everything around us is art, so why exclude graffiti. Graffiti is similar to art but better. A dot on a piece of paper shouldn’t be considered as art nor cost…

It has came to our attention how our society rejects to acknowledge how what a person does today could affect others in the future; although the ironic factor of these widely read books written almost sixty-five years ago has identified our world today and showed us how dangerous our simple actions could affect us over time. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury has enabled us readers to acknowledge the effects of technology's advancement by showing us how something as valuable as classic literature,…

The major differences between The Artist and Vertigo stem primarily from their more immediately manifest differences with The Artist a silent and black-and-white film, while Vertigo utilizes color and sound to complement the actions of the actors. While The Artist takes on the style of a late silent era film, Vertigo is more characteristic of the early new wave films.

In the book Fahrenheit 451 the quote “Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories,” has a deeper meaning than what is thought. This quote represents more than just being the wise words of Granger’s grandfather.
