dark-washed skinny jeans and a grey leather jacket zipped up with a white infinity scarf. Her shoes are white Converse low-tops that need washing since the toes are turning brown from dirt. Participant 2 is a 13 or 14-year-old African American female. She is also tall for her age; she and Participant 1 are about the same height. Participant 2 is thin, with almost an athletic body type; she has long legs and broader shoulders than most young teenage females. She is wearing blue jeans, a green…

a little overwhelmed by all the trendy stuff they had. This was kind of unusual for me because I don’t normally find myself overwhelmed. I mean, I’m really pretty simple. For me, I find myself most comfortable in just a T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans that I would normally wear while hitting up a kegger. But this place screamed dance party. As I was looking through the items, losing hope by the second, my mama had pulled a God-awful pink dress from one of the racks saying, “This one’s cute…

the man with winter hat Winter headgear. For the men, hat (or beanie hat as now appears to be called), cap or hat. Which material you choose? About the hat, I do not have much to say. Nice and warm, sporty and easy to put in your pocket. Perhaps clever to invent any materials you have on your head to many. Do it quickly warm? Can you stand the tickling of wool? If you answer 'yes and no', then look for a cap of synthetic material. Or maybe a combination of the two materials a solution for you…

Importance: As of now, Montag thinks that he is doing the right thing by burning the books.

In the novel Fahrenheit 451, there is a serious issue being handled. The world surrounding Montag and his life continuously rejects the idea of someone being different. The books being burned in the book represent the whole idea of someone thinking differently. No matter what, society keeps on wanting for things to be the same and not change at all. Each individual person prefers to be comfortable with being a copy of what others want you to be at the expense of your own happiness. Once, in the…

Imagine a world where books were illegal and burned by fireman along with fun being the focus and cure to everything. This was the horrid life of the people in California during 1954. The people in Fahrenheit 451 seem to be happy, but are unsatisfied with themselves deep inside showing that in order to be truly happy people need to be able to think on their own. Fahrenheit 451 shows the government telling the people what to think and causing people to not know how to make themselves happy…

Douglass once said- “Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.” In Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 knowledge is taken away from society through censorship. Throughout the book the main character is Montag, who collects books and knowledge soon he is forced to leave and he meets a group of intellectuals whose leader is Granger who was forced to leave for having books. We are still trying to prove the propriety of Grangers actions. Although Granger was risking his life he saw fit to help Montag, who is…

In Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag is a firefighter with a weird twist. Firefighters burn down books instead of putting the fires out! When doing this job and meeting other types of people, Montag comes to realize that he is on the wrong side, and that he should be saving the books instead of burning them. Guy Montag is a deeply…

“But then the world got full of eyes...books leveled down to a sort of pastepudding norm” (Bradbury, 54). In the book Fahrenheit 451, the author, Ray Bradbury, touches on certain subjects that are questionable. For example, the book is practically screaming the theme all throughout, which is if society chooses to abandon knowledge; it will lead to our ultimate destruction. He also included a lot of technology that wasn’t around during the time the book was published representing today’s rapid…
