The Logger of Ellwood Forest “The blade itself incites to deeds of violence.” Homer, The Odyssey Mrs. Rayes crossed the rented cabin foyer, her silk kimono slipping off her shoulders, and the ice-cubes in her glass of whisky clinking against one another as both of her hands shook; one hand gripping whisky and the other reaching for the brass knob of a garishly designed front door, “Laurence,” she said, throwing open the door and grabbing a hold of her son’s left elbow. “Please, Laurence, who taught you to knock so insistently? You’ve given me a migraine.” She complained. “You’ve been here four seconds and already you’ve affected my head quite awfully. Do you know that since you were a little kid, you’ve loved nothing more than to arrive early to your destination?” She asked, closing the door behind him with a violent crashing of wood and a splatter of whiskey and ice. “Don’t worry about that,” she said, “the dog loves whiskey.” Laurence, who was surprised by neither his mother’s dress or drink, rubbed his elbow sorely.

I had a goddamn day of mourning for the dog and now you’ve told me he is running around drinking whiskey.” “He is.” “Who is what?” “The dog, I’ve only just remembered, the dog is dead, he died —” “Fucking beautiful,” said Laurence, his back and head aching from his train and his taxi ride on the back country road. “Forget the dog. Listen, it happens to…

In Fahrenheit 451, Parlour rooms were used to keep citizens entertained and occupied to keep their minds away from the impending atomic war. Mildred, Guy Montague 's wife, is completely indulged in these, at one point even referring to the characters in the programs as family.

Ray Bradbury really shows us this in his novel Fahrenheit 451. To start off, Bradbury warns society of the dangers in technology, and how it can take over anyone’s life by using the television. He shows us this through the life of Mildred and how she finds that her true family…

to the 'average '. The source of ignorance in Fahrenheit 451 is the technology, or more specifically the parlour and family. The parlour resembles the modern TV while the family resembles reality TV such as the Voice, House Rules and MasterChef. The parlour invaded the characters mind and became all they talked about. '"Clara, now, Clara," begged Mildred, pulling her arm. "Come on, let 's be cheery, you turn the `family ' on, now. Go ahead. Let 's laugh and be happy, now, stop crying, we 'll…

world will have in the future and it is the result of a society that is more proud of their technology than knowledge.
