Fahrenheit 451 Reflection
Not only is Bradbury a smart guy, furthermore he can tell the future. No one ever knew how our world would change to be, but Bradbury had it all figured out. Human beings today live in a world where everyone is demonic, as if we’re under some spell. Likewise, the people in fahrenheit 451 were under the same controlling spell that made them move in a manner they assumed was normal.
In fahrenheit 451 the townspeople moved extremely fast paced, likewise today we exist in a highly complex society. We live where our lives are uniquely comparable to a race where the finish line is nihility. Our peers are exceedingly pessimistic, additionally they move in a remedial way having little knowledge of major details around them. Bradbury wrote out our …show more content…
lives before we began to live them.
Today oppression fulfills our state of about 99.5%, nonetheless it comes from the firefighters in Fahrenheit 451, correspondingly the citizens in our life. Majority of Bradbury predictions came true. In fahrenheit 451 the people had televisions as big as their walls, similarly all the big stars believes bigger is better. We get hypnotized to loneliness due to the constant attention we pay to digital screens instead of our outside life, which was a huge a theme Bradbury expressed.
In the novel Bradbury expresses that people communicate with friends through an digital wall.
That prediction led us to what we now call facebook and/or twitter. Social media has ruined various things, comparatively standards ,minds, set goals and most of all our society. “Changing one small thing in history could have larger, unpredictable effects on what has yet come”.
The battle of personal freedom in Fahrenheit 451 made a huge impact on me due to the relevance it has in our world today. In the book, when humans aren't allowed to fully express their individuality and choice they die. In our world today we get told we have personal freedom but I feel as if it’s another controlling misunderstanding. Our choices are limited, therefore we get punished for choosing the wrong choice. I believe we have no choice, identically in the book I think we’re misguided but have no way of knowing.
Bradbury made it noticeable that the things that lead us to happiness may eventually become our downfall. Physical, emotional, and controlled happiness drastically affects our lives. Fahrenheit 451 was so great with it’s message, Bradbury wanted it to be known that the townspeople were driven toward destruction. These citizens were living very unhealthy, furthermore unhappy and had no idea. We live in a very synchronized way never taking different
routes.
“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives”. At first Montag didn’t think twice about anything because he didn’t care to. When he met an outsider he wanted to free himself from the oppressed ignorant society he was living in. Today I believe we still live in an very ignorant way and there just isn’t enough outsiders to change us to normal.
Today our main problem is greed, nonetheless we live in a very greedy world where we would step on someone else just to get to the top. Montag acknowledges that there is more to life than just driving fast and watching digital screens for hours. I believe Bradbury was preparing us for this fast paced, benighted world that we’re living in today. Majority of Bradbury’s key points are major problems.
This book has taught me numerous things, overall it has told me that we shouldn’t rely too much on technology because the book demonstrates what could become of us although much of it is already happening.
