    Why There is No Need to Worry about Fahrenheit 451’s Dystopian Predictions There was one time that I saw a young child, probably 3-4 years old, on (presumably) his mother’s tablet googling something while his aforementioned mother was talking to a store cashier. At first I was pretty flustered, because, honestly, who in their right mind gives a toddler anything worth more than 100$ and then doesn’t supervise them? But then I realized something: The fact that we have so much information so…

    1984 is not an exact prediction of today’s society in my opinion because the people depicted in the novel live far stricter and much more oppressive lives than we do today. Winston even tells us so, “‘Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as…

Before technology was created there were no distractions and there were real conversations. In Fahrenheit 451, Mildred has no authentic conversations with Montag. She does not seem to care for his feelings or anything he has to say. She has more consideration towards her television show opera “family”. “She was quite obviously…

    Though it may not have happened in the literal sense, Orwell's prediction of 1984 is metaphorically true in 2017. There are ways in which Orwell exaggerated his predictions, but there are many more ways in which he figuratively predicted the future. For example, the banning of sex and the discouragement of individuality, the thought police and thought crime, and Big brother most likely will never exist in the literal sense, but the concept of each one is very much alive in our society.…

    The three passion predictions in the Gospel Of Mark have very similar structures. They each talk about the Son of Man suffering at the hands of other men and eventually dying then being resurrected after three days. Additionally, they also talk about how his followers were unable to comprehend what he was saying.
