Journal #3 Novel Study Fahrenheit 451 Set in the futuristic world controlled by media, Fahrenheit 451 tells the story of the protagonist Montag, a fireman whose job is to burn book, his search for knowledge and self-identity. Books are considered illegal and banned because they make people think and question. I feel sympathy for Montag as his wife does not have any emotional attachment to him as she only care about her “family” on the parlor walls and betrayed Montag by reporting to the firemen that he has books in his possession. Montag also faces numbers of obstacles in his journey for self-identity. Fahrenheit 451 shares many similarities of the setting in the novel The Giver.

I was a college English professor for several years, until I lost my job. I thought that I would never be able to help out anyone with reading again. That was until a man named Guy Montag called me asking me how many copies of the Bible were left. Then he met up with me at my house. Someone was banging on the door.

Bradbury characterizes the firefighters in Fahrenheit 451 as unoriginal duplicates in this passage by utilising sight and smell imagery as well as rhetorical questions to make apparent the uniformity of the society and its connection to the loss of individual identity. The characterization of Bradbury’s firefighters is accomplished through imagery to prove the uniformity of society. Having all firefighters look the same creates a certain distance between them and the rest of society, this alienation allows for easier/greater control over both the firefighters and the general population, which in turn . The firefighters were described extensively in this passage with major similarities to the fires they are responsible for, “their charcoal

Fahrenheit 451 is a book that tells a story of one fireman called Montag, the story passes in one futuristic society where the books are prohibited and if they are found they are burned by the fireman. Most of the people in this society seems to be brainwashed and do not care to learn. During the story different people appear, showing how people in that society were. The book can be interpreted in several ways, but the way that seems more realistic is that the world in the future will be like this. I chose page 8 and 9 of the book fahrenheit 451, because it shows character building of Montag and Clarisse.

Possibly the best allusion in and of this story would be the allusion of it being like a message in a bottle from page 21, because that’s what this story is, “a story someone penned in thirst and anger on an uncharted desert isle, then stuffed into a bottle that now floats, a glassine porpoise, swell upon swell, for anyone to find…” (Dove 21). As previously mentioned, Beethoven practically wrote George out of history after their argument and fall out in the tavern, so we almost never learned about him at all. George was lost, but appeared out of nowhere, just like his rise to fame. We don’t see him until we see the stagemaster (his father); we see what isn’t

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is a uniquely shocking and provocative novel about a dystopian society set in a future where reading is outlawed, thinking is considered a sin, technology is at its prime, and human interaction is scarce. Through his main protagonist, Guy Montag, Bradbury brings attention to the dangers of a controlled society, and the problems that can arise from censorship. As a fireman, it is Guy's job to destroy books, and start fires rather than put them out. After meeting a series of unusual characters, a spark is ignited in Montag and he develops a desire for knowledge and a want to protect the books. Bradbury's novel teaches its readers how too much censorship and control can lead to further damage and the repetition of history’s mistakes through the use of symbolism, imagery, and motif.

“Did you know that once billboards were only twenty feet long? But cars started rushing by so quickly they had to stretch the advertising out so it would last” (pg.7, ch.1 The Hearth And The Salamander). I find this quote significant because it perfectly explains the lives of the people in this novel. Moving fast, not paying attention and for what? To die in a car crash at only 17?

It is crucial when trying to understand the arguments of Descartes to carefully analyze the likely mistaken presuppositions that he brings to them. One of Descartes’ likely mistaken presuppositions is his claim that he can and will put aside all presuppositions that he brings to his philosophical thinking. Descartes claims, “Regarding the opinions to which I had hitherto given credence, I thought that I could not do better than undertake to get rid of them, all at one go…” (Principles of Philosophy 117) Descartes’ assumption that he could put aside all of his presuppositions is a presupposition itself. He claims to put aside all presuppositions, yet makes a presupposition in assuming that he is capable of this.
