In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury tells a story like it is futuristic and it reflects on the real world now.It makes you think about what he is saying, what he is doing the message he is trying to get across to you. You would think the things they do would be so opposite from the real world.Some actions in the novel most people wouldn’t do.Like in the WWII ERA which is primarily concerned with the dangers of totalitarian censorship and the encroachment of mass culture that occured during the post-WWII ERA.People imagine and think of things about the future since i don’t know when. Bradbury warns us about letting government taking over for too long.If government controlled us for too long they would start controlling what we see and hear. Guy

While reading the novel Fahrenheit 451, i realized the author, Ray Bradbury described the role of censorship by putting together the personal freedom that one person has, to the freedom of expression that person was giving. Bradbury describes the right of the First Amendment and the rights we have as a human being. The First Amendment is about the freedom of speech that one person has for themselves. Once a man named Justice Holmes, said the meaning of the First amendment was “freedom for what we hate.” A role of censorship was played by sending a very direct or forward message that tells readers what may or may not happen if they allow the government to take control of what they do or do not read.

Bradbury started the story off with a dark and serious tone. Montag walking into the room to find his wife's sprawled lifeless body kickstarted the entire story. It showed how the society was mindless and deprived relying on their parlor walls or their seashells. Having him find his wife dead would play an important role in his decision towards the end of the story. In addition, the way Bradbury describes how he found her body staring into her eyes and he compare that to "moonstones" and how to compare her pale cold face to that of a "snow-covered island"

What I think Bradbury is trying to say is that the government is trying to give the people of the town a sensation of happiness so that they don’t necessarily think about the things, like banding books and how they are or were being controlled. In the society featured in Fahrenheit 451 books are burned so that the people don’t get any ideas, find historical happenings, or anything that may make them think that the government is doing the wrong thing. Bradbury is basically saying that the government is manipulating the citizens into letting them control them. Instead of letting people know and learn about what happened in the past so it doesn’t repeat, they try to solve the problem by making history completely disappear.

A world without freedom of thought; you aren’t allowed to have your own opinions or views. Such a world is shown in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. He uses 'the family', the burning of books, and the mechanical hound to convey that the freedom of thought isn't acceptable in society that wants to control people. ‘The family’ in Fahrenheit 451 continuously feeds information to the people in this world allowing no freedom to form their own thoughts and opinions. " 'If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one.
