The suspense that Bradbury has created in the novel about the unknown is now replaced with suspense about the consequences of Montag’s actions. Like all the citizens in this futuristic society, Mildred has been made lazy by and dependent upon the technological advancements that surround her. She can no longer thinks for herself, just as the government has planned. It is not surprising that she is terrified of punishment and frightened by the prospect of secret knowledge. She accepts the rule that no one should have an individual thought; she certainly never has one herself.
The best an account of war can hope to accomplish is to remind readers that you can’t ever really wrap your mind around what it’s like for those on the ground, because you can never know or really get it until you live it. And Kyle hits his mark there. Time and time again, they were in dangerous situations, and all I could think with each page of battle was that it all seemed unreal, like a movie. And that thought was quickly followed by the realization that everything was very real, and I just couldn’t fully comprehend a reality like that. I don’t imagine that most people want to know what a single firefight is like, yet these men actively hoped for these situations so they could take down evil.
Injustice is basically when somebody has been wronged and when adding collector is when somebody has been wronged many times over their life. Society in my opinion cannot protect themselves against these types of people because we have no way of knowing who they are. For all we know our teachers or best friend could be just like Cho, but we will never know until they lash out. The only possible way would to mandate a law requiring everybody to never wrong anybody in the world, which as we all know could not be
Imagine a hopeless society where everyone was brainwashed with meaningless technology, books were strictly forbidden, and the true meaning of life was long forgotten. For Montag, that is society was very real. The central idea of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, conveyed by the themes of the sections — awakening, seeking knowledge and truth, and rebirth— is that independent thought can help to overcome great obstacles, which is what leads Montag to step away from the wasteland of modern society to where he truly wanted to be. The first section, “The Hearth and the Salamander”, is where Montag begins to break away from being like an average person in society. The hearth has long been a comforting symbol of home.
He immediately begins attacking Hester, pestering her with questions and statements such as, "Thou wilt not reveal his name? Not the less he is mine," resumed he, with a look of confidence, as if destiny were at one with him. "He bears no letter of infamy wrought into his garment, as thou dost, but I shall read it on his heart”(83). Chillingworth tries to shame Hester into telling him the truth. He does not know her lover is Dimmesdale at this point so he can only go to Hester and hold the letter above her head, taunting her in a sense, in the hope that she will give in and say the name.
``She began to doubt whether Steven would come in such a storm even a mile was enough to make a man hesitate. Especially Steven, who, for all his attractive qualities, was hardly one to face a blizzard for the sake of someone else`s chores`` (233). She was starting to believe she was going to have to fight the storm herself. This put fright into the story because she had no idea what she should do to keep herself safe and the animals at the same time. “No matter how blinding the storm she could at least find her way back to the house” (233), this demonstrates how violent it was.
A way for indifference to end is for people to speak out about the bad things in the world. His whole acceptance speech was speaking out against many horrible topics such as the Holocaust, Israel, Apartheid, Chile, and Ethiopia. At the time there were terrible events happening and were continuing because of indifference. His speech changed the minds of and inspired many people in the world. Wiesel said, “One person — a Raoul Wallenberg, an Albert Schweitzer, Martin Luther King, Jr. — one person of integrity, can make a difference, a difference of life and death.” These civil rights activists went against so many people to end the injustices happening in their societies.
Just because you passed a person on the ground doesn’t mean you’re emotionally dead. It doesn’t mean that you’ll hate yourself forever. Most likely that won’t be the case. But when you do stop to help this stranger on the path, you’re giving up everything you’ve worked so hard for. All the effort that you, your teammates, and your coaches have put in is immediately worthless.
Although Winston was not literally being watched 24/7, he feared the chance of being watched (because it was always possible). This assumption of surveillance contributed towards Winston’s unwavering obedience towards the Party, because he feared being labeled a criminal. Another example of surveillance in 1984 is explained here: “Even when he is alone he can never be sure that he is alone. Wherever he may be, asleep or awake, working or resting, in his bath or in bed, he can be inspected without warning and without knowing that he is being
The point of this is to think before you do or say something. Everyone has a mind and a right to be treated like a human, one of God’s children. The Nazi’s took away all their dignities and human right to live and exist here on Earth. There is still a lot of hatred in the world that still exists today as it did 72 years ago during the Holocaust. If there was no hate it would be a “Perfect World” as some people say, but unfortunately there will always be hate in the World.
