#Fahrenheit 451 annotations tv
But I don't think it's social to get a bunch of people together and then not let them talk, do you? An hour of TV class, an hour of basketball or baseball or running, another hour of transcription history or painting pictures, and more sports, but do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don't they just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing, and us sitting there for four more hours of film-teacher. "Or talking about how strange the world is.
It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn't it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this." She rattled some chestnuts that had fallen off the tree in the front yard. Climaxing with a fantastic, thought- provoking ending made this book one of the finest pieces of literature I have ever read.“Why aren't you in school? I see you every day wandering around."
Not having a slow start was one of the things that I enjoyed the most about this book. The rising action of the story was captivating. Never letting the reader off the edge of their seat, the book was thrilling. I did not enjoy how intense certain portions of the book were, but this is what created such an enormous impact on the reader. The book was suspenseful, almost to a fault. Breaking out of the box, the plotline of Fahrenheit 451 was exceedingly unique, causing the reader to think about his or her actions. His imagery was precise and created a vivid definition of his description. The word choice that Bradbury used, although sometimes at a high level, was superbly descriptive and you could picture everything he describes. Ray Bradbury’s style was almost immaculate. Montag has to make decisions to help save his society from corruptness.
When Montag returns to work, he goes on a call where the destination is his own house. Afterwards, Montag returns to Faber and gets a special radio to communicate directly to Faber. Beatty gives Montag a long speech about why books are so useless and why firemen had to step in. Shortly after, Montag fails to attend work, creating a situation where his boss, Capitan Beatty, visits Montag in his home. Then, it is discovered that Montag was keeping a stash of booking in his air conditioning vent. Montag also recalls meeting an English professor at a park named Faber, so he called the man and scheduled a meeting.Īfter meeting with Faber and seeing all that he had, Montag was on the edge of mental collapse. At work, Montag was affected through a situation where a woman is burned along with her books. Later, Montag finds out that Clarisse has been killed this triggers a chain reaction which makes him change his view on his society and work. When Montag meets a girl named Clarisse McClellan, he takes a moment and considers how his work affects people. The story begins with Montag working hard as a fireman, following orders and never considering impact that his career makes on others. Montag is faced with many philosophical challenges throughout the book, and his wisdom is years ahead of his time. The protagonist, Montag, emerges as a deep-thinking and lonely individual throughout the story.
