Faber talked to Montag about how books have “quality“. In Faber’s words, “They show pores in the face of life,” and that’s what people wanted to stay away from, because you had to think and do(83). That is exactly what people didn’t want, they just wanted to have fun and be entertained. They didn’t want to have to think for themselves. So why do it?
People strive to become important, to achieve this they dress nice, educate themselves and practice good manners. If an individual falls short in grammar, or vocabulary his or her entire effort can be thrown out the window regardless of how esteemed the individual is. Richard Sng is a scholar and in effort to acknowledge the importance of grammar he said, We can blow the image we have worked so hard to create, with the Giorgio Armani suit or the Calvin Klein dress, the moment we open our mouth to speak. That is, when we mispronounce or otherwise misuse words. Our value and credibility drop tremendously.
There is so much violence in this world that if we stopped reading about it, I think it would decrease. There is no need for fighting when things can come to an agreement. 7. I would memorize the book, “What Holly Heard.” This book teaches me that rumors and gossip are not always a good thing. Somethings are better left unknown.
If we understand why we fear the book and address that fear, then we would not be so quick to ban it. We shouldn't shy away from open discussion and conversation, since it will be the best thing for us in this situation. By taking away from our students the opportunities to see different styles of literature, historical thought and the mistakes from our past, we deny them the right to see the full advantages of freedom of speech and
However, in Fahrenheit 451 Beatty describes conformity as a positive aspect of society – he argues that conformity in behavior prevents violence and jealousy by restricting the gifted and talented people from their ability to excel, which is good in a way because then the others won‘t feel bad. However, the real problem in the situation Beatty describes is not the exceptionally bright child (when he is trying to show Montag the uselessness of books) but the group of people of those who submit to it. Unfortunately, this very situation occurs repeatedly in our society today. People who choose not to conform may be persecuted by the groups of people who submit into censorship, and through that act of persecution the people reinforce conformity of
The audience is a major factor when it comes to how your approach should be. If you are writing to a group of friends and family members you probably will not have to be so specific, you can put it in terms that you know that they will understand. If you are writing to a group of people you do not even know, you should make sure your writing has more detail and is more formal. It is also good to know what kind of response you want back from your audience. Genre is a kind of writing such as a proposal, a report, a letter, a profile, a poem, ECT.

Altogether, Guy Montag’s change in heart towards books is a blessing. He realizes that his society lacked a hunger for knowledge and wants to do something about it. The true theme in the novel, “Too much mindless entertainment,” proves it is necessary for any society to have the knowledge of the past, which is recorded in books. It can prevent man from making the same mistakes as in the
For some, inner strength is found and heroes emerge, leading the town through its time of darkness, whilst others stoop down to the lowest form of human behaviour in order to cope with their hardship. This is a notion mimicked in society today. Under the pressures of our lives, our thoughts can become corrupted and our actions callous. By emphasising the change of society’s values as a result of the plague, Brooks was seeking to encourage readers to realise that while certain situations in life are beyond our personal control, we should attempt to not only accept but embrace these dilemmas, so that our human existence can benefit in light of
