In the novel, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, it tells about a character life by the name of Montag. Montag is the protagonist and changes throughout the story. Guy Montag is a fireman. Instead of these firemen fighting fires, they create the fire. They create the fire by burning books. Books are not allowed and if you have a book in your household and the firemen find it, the book will be burned. Guy Montag in the beginning of the novel was into his job and really loved it. The thing he loved…

Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451 takes place in a dystopian world where there is constant war. Protagonist, Guy Montag is a fireman who ironically ignites fires rather than put them out. The responsibilities of being a fireman consist of destroying all existing books for the government. Montag is married to the unhappy, shallow, Mildred. Montag’s inner self versus outer self dilemma begins when Montag realizes he is not happy. Internally, Montag is dissatisfied with his marriage, the lack…

Why is Montag and his team of firefighters commanded to burn books? What sort of thing would lead a group of men who once put out fires to start them and burn the greatest creations of mankind? Since there have been many instances throughout the chapter “The Hearth and the Salamander” where the government has been hinted at, one can only assume that it has to do with a hierarchy force. Perhaps the government has some sort of brainwashing power over the people. We can see this theory being…

The Flames of Insight As responsibility hides behind a red veil, a futuristic society lives under the false notion that everyone is equal, and therefore, everyone is happy. In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag, a fireman in charge of destroying books in a society where they are forbidden, questions whether what he does is right. Through witnessing a woman burn to death for her books and Faber’s, an elderly former professor’s, teachings, Montag is trapped between the worlds of Fire and…

What if in our world, knowledge was limited and nobody could truly connect with anybody on a personal level? Well, in the society of the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, both of these things are happening. The society created in the book and our society today may look and sound very different, yet that’s not all there is to it. In many ways, this supposed “utopian” society of Fahrenheit 451 and our society that we live in today are very different, nonetheless, the two also have their…

rise up against those who would censor free thinking or censor what we read or how we act. One leaves the movie with a sense of social responsibility to pass on ideas that are significant and different in shaping history yesterday, today and tomorrow. Ray Bradbury’s book to film was ahead of its time as it identified the dependence of technology and a weakness in the arts would ultimately weaken our society. Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, “I fear the day when the technology overlaps with…

desk doing the clerical work I was oh so familiar with yet now I am doing it for a radiology office. Since being at Bay Radiology I have had the opportunity to talk to the technologists about their different fields of work. I have seen and used an x-ray machine before and observed a few ultrasounds but what fascinated me was seeing the MRI machine and how it functioned. I’ve been a test patient a few times and was a bit wary about laying on a table and being slid into the center of this…

Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide the diagnostic information about the specific organ functions of each person, or it is used to treat them. X-rays, CT scans, radiotherapy; all require the activity of radioactive material. Tens of millions of nuclear medicine procedures are being performed each year, and the demand for radioisotopes is rapidly increasing. While these forms of medical technologies…

always some positive, and that positive could be something you don’t even realize. Symbolism is a great way to spread a message within a book, it also is a great way for people to get a deeper knowledge of the authors thinking. In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury teaches a valuable lesson on the effects of consuming too much technology through imagery of the parlor…
