Your introduction is eye catching because you are giving a unique perspective on this important film. The emphasis on the changes of our planet, is probably the most talked aspect of this movie but is only a small part in what makes the movie great. Anyone can talk about the progress we have made, however they cannot tell it in a way people like Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke and Gyorgy Ligeti can. Our society has a tendency to overly condense lots of things, among them being “2001: A Space Odyssey” and your introduction says that it will not which builds the pathway to an intriguing essay.

1: Change the first sentence because it feels like there was something written before it. I would suggest mentioning the common trend

In writing A Voyage Long and Strange, Tony Horwitz’s goal is clear, to educate others on early America and debunk ignorant myths. Horwitz’s reason for wanting to achieve this goal is because of his own ignorance that he sees while at Plymouth Rock. “Expensively educated at a private school and university- a history major, no less!-I’d matriculated to middle age with a third grader’s grasp of early America.” Horwitz is disappointed in his own lack of knowledge of his home country, especially with his background history and decides not only to research America’s true beginnings, but to also follow the path of those who originally yearned to discover America.

The topic of the poster is of course about books and how you can’t own any books in the 451 society. As you can see, we wrote «For the safety of your family, give us your books or we will burn them». We also drew a hand giving the books and a hand with books burning. What we tried to do is manipulate these people by telling them that they have a choice. We want to put them on our side but also scare them.

Have you ever wondered what society would be like in the far future, how technology would over run humans, the government mind washing the people, society having no individuality or knowledge? For my first book report of the 11th grade, I wanted to choose a book that interested me greatly with the ideas of the author, but also containing a very powerful meaning behind the novel. The book Fahrenheit 451 is a novel which invokes much thought about the way people live in society today. We are taken to a place where books have become outlawed, technology is at its prime, life is fast, and human interaction is scarce. As we learn more about this society through the eyes of the protagonist, Guy Montag.

One thing that really bothered or annoyed me was the fact that Bradbury used “man” instead of putting “person. Like were all books written by men?Other than that, I personally think this quote is really extensive because it shows how Montag shows guilt, I like how it compares a lifetime of work for writing certain books, and takes nothing but two minutes to destroy. In this society books are portrayed as being unacceptable. This society has a odd way of viewing everything. I think that television and movies are a much simpler investment in this society, If you think about it this society is kinda similar in a way to present day society, SO many people think that books are tedious but in reality they are just too lazy to search for a book that

Imagine a world with no books, no phones, no laptops, nothing that involves reading. Guy Montag, a 30-year old who has been a fireman since he was 20 decided that one day he wanted to read a book instead of burning it.

The novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury shows us a future in which people spend all day in front of a television that tells them absolutely nothing useful or helpful. People fill their mind with such nothingness as that, and they do not have real-time or reason to think. The people of the future block out thoughts with their constant time in front of noise and confusion. In the book, Bradbury implies that without thought, people are just unhappy and find no reason for their life.
