In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451‚ Montag’s society is somewhat similar to the current modern society‚ but not completely. The present society is similar to Montag’s in some ways‚ a couple of them being a lot of people in today’s generation seem to be more into technology use than in the past‚ and a lot of people can not seem to find time to pick up a book to read anymore.

Invasion Bradbury and Wells stories are all about Martians invading earth‚ but‚ the characters experience it in some similar and different ways.

I think a recurring theme in “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury is faith. The story revolves around faith or lack thereof. The children act out and shun Margot because they’re afraid to have faith. On the contrary‚ Faith is all Margot has.
