They don’t care for children they think it ruin people lives. Ms. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles doesn’t really care for kids. The author says “How’re your children, ms.phelps?” he asked.”you know I haven’t any! No one in his right mind, the Good lord knows, would have children!” Said Mrs. Phelps, not quite sure why she was angry with this man.”I wouldn’t say that”, said Mrs. Bowles. “ I’ve had two children by caesarean section. No use going through all that agony for a baby.” They don’t care about nobody but themselves, they talk bad about kids and how they hurt, is to much work, and how they ruin people lives. This shows that they are selfish. They do this because people have been brainwashing them. Another reason they act like this is because they burn books and instead of reading them so they don’t have knowledge or any type of common sense. This is another way of how technology affected families in Fahrenheit 45l.The last way technology has affected society is that they don’t communicate with each other. They ignore each other like they don’t even exist. Technology have society so messed up they don’t even communicate with each
There are a number of subjects that are shown in the book Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury but the main subject that he uses to get his point across is how technology can be distracting. Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury addresses the subject of Technology, suggesting that some forms of technology can be very distracting. Bradbury uses dialogue between two or more characters, and inner conflict in characters to show his idea. To create his idea, Bradbury uses dialogue between characters to show how distracting technology can be. For example, “‘Doesn’t everyone look nice!’
But technology is a topic that is prevalent in Fahrenheit 451. Technology, in the book, breaks up families, and hamper their ability
and then another Mrs. Phelps had to say, “Cesareans or not, children are ruinours.” and then the other one with children states, “I plunk the children in school nine days out of ten. I put up with them when they come home three days a month; it’s not bad at all. You heave them into the ‘parlor’ and turn the switch. It’s like washing clothes; stuff laundry in and slam the lid”(92-93).
Although the advancement of technology can lead to a greater efficiency, it can also lead people to rely on these technological advances too much that can cause them to become “brainless”. Technology plays a very important aspect in the world of Fahrenheit 451. People in their society has little or no interactions with others, and can barely have a thoughtful conversation. This is seen when Mildred tells Montag, “I went to to Helen’s last night”(Bradbury 50). Montag then asks her , “Couldn’t you get the shows in your own parlor?”
Ray Bradbury wrote this book to warn people that technology is becoming too much of a problem in both our society and Fahrenheit 451’s society. Technology can cause huge problems in society because it takes over people’s lives, creates separation between people, and prevents getting information from books.
In the twenty-first century, technology is rapidly evolving and taking over important roles and aspects of everyday life. Children are more worried about how many likes on their picture on Instagram will receive, then doing their homework. In this society, people are beginning to think less for themselves. Technology is influencing people's lives and taking over. In Ray Bradbury's novel, Fahrenheit 451, the people live in a dystopia where books and knowledge are banned.
Technology is gradually brainwashing the people living on the planet Earth. Technology can be a prodigious thing, but if not used properly, it can have a gargantuan effect on the human race. Many adolescences spend an abounding time on their smartphones, tablets, televisions, or computers. The book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is warning current day society by displaying the effectiveness of knowledge, the ramification of continual use of technology, and the impact reading has on the human brain.
As humanity, we always admire how far we come from our primitive ancestors and we see these changes in different perspectives. Some are good, such as the capability of using clean energy and the amount of peace that is within the world, and some are bad like innovations in weapons to kill large amounts of the opposing side, but there is one specific creation of man that society prefers to reflect on. This creation is like a diluted mirror, it shows us our greatest accomplishments and all the spectacular task it does for us, but it doesn’t show us what it leaves behind in its wake. It doesn’t show how it makes us into hollow shells that no longer contain the fire of humanity. This terrible innovation has quenched the fire that makes us human by quelling the kindle of knowledge and the igniting power of thought.
When society only pays attention to the screens of a wall, it’s very easy to manipulate their minds. Similarly, people in the 1950s began to pay less attention to the world around them after the spread of new technology. In Fahrenheit 451, technology is essentially just a symbol of ignorance. In
SOME PEOPLE JUST SHOULDN’T HAVE CHILDREN, SHOULD THEY?” (Jackson 225). She acts pleasantly with the infant in front of Hellen Crane but, shows her judgmental thoughts while writing the letter. This shows that she wears a mark in public and only shows her true self when alone. Although she had been living in the town for seventy one years, no one has been able to see her true face.
In the book Ray Bradbury uses literary elements to express how technology affects the world around characters in the book. The book shows how Guy Montag is struggling to find himself in a senseless environment. Also it shows how people such as Clarisse are looked at as outsiders. Then he shows how the people are distractive from the things around them and in their life such as Mildred and Montag. Guy Montag is starting to sway away from the Text Roro that he is forced to live in.
