Seashell

Fahrenheit 451 is novel about a man named Guy Montag, who is a fireman who burns books in a futuristic American city which, according to Rafeeq O. Mcgiveron, is a 2026 “unthinking society so compulsively hedonistic”. In Montag’s state, firemen are not your usual firefighters because rather they start fires by burning books instead of putting fires out. The firefighters want to purge the world of notions that raise uncertainty and debate which inevitably comes from books. Their society is also…

uses elements of line to add to her pictures. For example, when the Beagle sets sail, she used jagged lines in the water to make it appear rough and rocky. She also uses diagonal lines to add to the climactic point when Darwin discovered fossilized seashells on the mountain tops. The lines add to the excitement he felt after this discovery. There was rarely white or black space which added value to the pictures, especially when there was a dark tree against a light blue…

Before I was born, my parents went on their honeymoon in California. Their stories were filled with amazing places, while their pictures showed the wonderful sights. I love when we sit on the front porch swing with the picture album and talk about their trip for hours. I can clearly imagine every little detail that my parents share with me. Their story has always fascinated me since the first time they told me the wild adventure. They had the most crazy adventures from skydiving to swimming…

sharks, and I saw a whale breach. It had a huge splash, and the whale was giant. People tell you it’s huge, but you never realize how huge huge is until you see it. The third day was the last good day. We went to the beach, all day. We collected seashells, seaweed, we saw some sea lions, elephant seals, an Indian Mongoose, a White Faced Ibis, and we saw dolphins jumping in the sunset. I showed my parents the secret cave, and we had a picnic on the edge of it. We played a game, where we all…

In the society in the book, the lack of realistic information, or information that makes you think, causes people to basically be robots. Also, every single person does the exact same thing. Everyone watches the parlor walls, and listens to their seashell at night. Everyone could be controlled at once, if it was desired. And this…

Moving for my dad's job hurt me, but it also changed a lot of things for me. For me, going from sunny California to bipolar South Dakota was huge. From what I thought was cold weather in Cali to getting here in December is definitely something I won’t ever forget. California's winter temperatures are like South Dakota's fall temperatures. Now when I go back home, and people are complaining about 40 degree weather, I just tell them that it's nothing compared to here. The switch changed a lot of…

Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, has been immortalized as a classic example of American literature studied in public and private school curriculums. It is often studied not only for its lyrical prose, but for its social commentary on censorship and the dangerous effects that follow suit. I had no trouble reading this novel originally, and felt that I was very able to connect not only with the plot and the main character, but the writer as well. The themes and motifs discussed in my class,…

Question 1 Inside the novel, Bradbury describes various fictional technologies, such as Seashell ear thimbles and wall-to-wall television screens, that play a dominate role in the lives of many people as their primary source for entertainment and information. For instance, Mildred is the typical example of a correctly conforming citizen as she actually believes that she lives in the "family" of shows. Her obsession with her on-screen family has led her to yearn for additional screen real estate…
