Thoughts on related blogs

While reading other people's blogs on Fahrenheit 451, I found Meaghan's thoughts to be similar to mine on the concept of how the society doesn't know the truth behind the government. Both of our postings explained how the government hired the fire men to burn all the books in order to hide everything that happened in the past, so people wouldn't know the reality of their present and how things hadn't always been so much of a dystopia. Books circulating around can cause a leek of information, which for the present government would cause chaos amongst everyone. Here is Meaghan's Posting.

How do they not know?

Reading the book Fahrenheit 451 You wonder how the people are so unaware of the reality of their society. Well In Fahrenheit 451 the answer is easy. Well the fire men are supposed to burn the books to erase the past and hide all information about the way things used to be. Over time, as more information is destroyed, and less people know know about the past, the less likely it would be for people to realize the reality of their present society. This is why in the book, that such a huge deal is made about the book that Guy Montag took. The goal of the government is to destroy everything from the past, and Guy, having the book, could cause a leak of information. Thats how the government strategically, hides the past, the prevent the society from knowing too much.

Part 2: Fahrenheit 451

Reading the second part of Fahrenheit 451, there were a couple things i didn't understand. First, It was talking about the parlor, "He stared at the parlor that was dead and gray as the waters of an ocean that might teem with life is they switched on the electric sun. Im not exactly sure what the parlor was, but all i could think of was just a room with nobody in it, but thinking that somone might walk in at any miniut. There was another quote i didn't understand. "I saw the damnedest snake in the world the other night. It was dead but it was alive. It could see but it couldn't see. You want to see that snake? It's at Emergency Hospital where they filed a report on all the junk the snake got aout of you!" I wasn't sure what this snake was suposed to be symbolizing.

I like how descriptions are heavy with symbolizing, and characterizing, however, many times they can be difficult to understand. Most of the time it requires you to read a few pages ahead to realize what a cirtain descriptive piece is talking about. Though many times difficult, I can always eventualy figure out what is being said.

The truth Guy Montag doesn't know

In the begining of the book Fahrenheit 451, when guy met Clarisse, he was told a couple things which he didn't beleive. Guy, thought that his job was always the same, he thought that firemen always were used to start fires instead of putting them out. He was always told that houses were always fire proof, so there was no need for people to put fires out, however, Clarisse tried to tell him that firemen were actualy once used to put fires out and that houses wern't always fireproof.

Guy, couldn't beleive the words Clarisse said, he couldn't accept that she told the truth, becuase all his life he was told a lie, which he firmly beleived as the truth. He also took offence to this because he felt his job was highly important and that what he did was vital to the community. At some point in the story, Guy will realize what Clarisse was telling the truth, and that what he thought his whole life was simply a lie.

My opinions on Fehrenheit 451

I have started reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I like haw it uses creative descriptive symbolism to set the scene.
"With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history."
I like this quote, it uses a lot a symbolism such as calling the fire hose a great python, and calling the kerosene its venom. Describing his actions as a conductor playing symphonies. This book really caught my attention when i started reading it, and I believe it will turn out to be an exciting and suspenseful story.
