Reflection On Fahrenheit 451
In Fahrenheit 451, a book that was wrote to predict to future Ray Bradbury makes books out to be something bad and technically to be something important to a lot of people, which if you look at it the right way is how the world is today. I’m not saying that people burn books and that you can’t read them like in Fahrenheit 451 but books are becoming less and less liked by people, and part of that is because of technology. And in the book technology is taking over Muntag’s wife, Milred’s life which is happening to a lot of people in the world today. So I think that Ray Bradbury’s book is a lot like how the world is today.
In Fahrenheit 451 you can’t read books or have them in your house, and if you did have books in your house and the firemen found out they would come and burn them, and you would get arrested. Obviously this is not how it is today. But he was right about one thing, in Fahrenheit 451 not a lot of people read books, because they can’t but people mostly younger people nowadays don’t read them because they have over stuff they can do like watch a movie. Which that is probably because watching the movie of a book would be a lot faster and easier to get a good picture of what is happening other than reading the book itself. …show more content…
So some people like Mildred just sit at home all day and watch tv. Which because of how advanced the technology is nowadays people are talking a lot else face to face and more over messages, emails, or DMs. And people nowadays find it weird when someone who is older than 12 dosen’t have a phone, ipod, computer, or some type of technology that they use to communicate with people. So pretty much technology is the reason why people are communicating face to face a lot
