Fahrenheit 451 Q2


Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or fixed"?

1) Yes, there are current situations in the world that relates to Fahrenheit 451. In this novel, book tells that the book is illegal to read, so people are messing up and lost their one of senses that is really needed for human like loving one another and caring each other. Government didn't allow the people to read book and use fireman to burn the book. The government didn't want go deep about the truth about the world and the literature, and was afraid that they will realize the new things and how wrong they are. People spent time instead of reading book and spend their whole life watching TV. In Korea, Television is being called a foolish box that makes human stupid. In reality, children’s are spending most of their time in computer games and watching television instead of exercising or playing sports with their friends. Some of the adults failed their life, because of computer games. Computer games and watching television makes you feel good, but happiness is only existed when you do it like a drug. If you work diligently for your future, you will success and your family will be happy about it. There is a Korean phrases that is very significant for me. "If you don't walk today, you should run tomorrow.


2.) Does the novel shed any light? or can be fixed?

The novel shed the light by telling to read the book. If people read their book all the problem will be fixed and realize the truth that how wrong the government is. Guy Montag realizes the truth that the book is their savior, and realizes that it's wrong to burn the book.
