Dystopia in Fahrenheit 451 :: Fahrenheit 451 Essays

Dystopia in Fahrenheit 451    Just by reading the first few lines of the opening paragraph of Fahrenheit 451, we total the feeling of a dystopia in effect(p) away.  Firemen burning books, instead of putting out fires that start in homes.  Who ever heard of that? <AVOID USINING QUESTIONS, THEY WAEKEN THE PAPER.> This is crazy thinking right off the start, yet Bradbury carries us through as if we are travelers to this time and place.  We are the unseen eyes that see the cataclysmic events that turn Guy Montags spiritedness upside down.  We ticker him rise, then fall, then meet with outsiders like himself.  We watch, how fugitives are tracked down using a mechanical dog, and how people love to watch the chase on their off the wall television sets.  Could this be how Bradbury thinks our society is going to turn into?  Maybe not as drastic, but maybe the censorship could happen, couldnt it? <I WAS UNDER THE IMPRSSION THAT THIS WAS SUPPOSED T O BE A FORMAL PAPER, NOT AN OPINION PAPER.>               Ray Bradbury is compared to Arthur C. Clarke as a poetic science fiction generator (Watt).  This is so, because Bradbury flashs a more elegant path to laying out his dystopia.  People in his story are so into the now, and pleasure for the moment, that they forget the morals and morality they came from, because they are clouded by smoke. <EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MWAN BY SMOKE.> Take for instance the wall-sized televisions.  This became the populaces way of interacting with others without physically interacting with them.  People on FURTURISTIC TELEVISION were your family, who would keep you company and be your friend.  Still, a place where books were burned and houses were supposedly fireproof, you have to admit this world is out of whack.<THIS SENTANCE IS SLANG AND MEANS VERY LITTLE.>  If we look at Montags wife for instance, we see how entrenched p eople have become AND just WANT TO BE happy,t carrying NONE for what happens to the ideas that are in books.  I think Bradbury is hard to tell us not to rely TOO heavily on technology or it will consume us.  In the future we may take books for granted, because they are the essence of free speech, and free ideologies.  By HAVING the books burned, people forget, and have nothing to trace back, only leaving what is THE PRESESNT REALITY.
