Ferenhite 451

If the system was wrong, what would you do to make it right?

In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the system is one that is against society. For example, people aren’t allowed to read books because the government believes that it is better if you can express your own self with your own words and think in your own way than reading something that makes you think in another person’s perspective. The government tries to do as much as they can to stop people from reading books, such as gathering a group to track down the books and burn them in front of people’s eyes to show them that the firemen are not scared of anything and that the government are not scared to intimidate the people.

Most of the characters in the book are quietly against the system, such as Montag whose character evolves from hating books and wanting to burn to realising the importance of reading.

“There must be something in books, something we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing.”

If I was part of this horrible society I would start a war against the government and fight for the right of the race of humanity. If I could do something I would definitely try to talk to the government and if that doesn’t work than I will start a group against the government and will fight till my people get what they want. I might try to become a fireman to become a fake fireman secretly getting information to find out whose house is going to be targeted next to inform them so they can hide away the last pieces of literature. I also might secretly write anonymous letters towards the government expressing how we actually felt about books being banned, and telling him what problems might cause our society and government as weak as writing my own stories The characters in the novel have done as much as they possibly can, such as the scientists hiding away most of the brilliant stories and texts written by the world’s most greatest artists.

The professors believe that books are important and that they shouldn’t be extinct, and they had a huge impact on Montag, and the woman who let herself burn had a big impact on Montag and when he read the first book he thought that that was really interesting.We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is
