Burning of Our Society
The aura, reality, and happenings in the dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury can be greatly compared to the today’s society. Love and war does not seem as important as it should. As well as knowledge and happiness for humanity. Our society is burning away much like the books burned in Fahrenheit 451. The firemen burned books instead of fighting fires. Similar to the police today. They are killing innocent citizens and not protecting certain neighborhoods as they should. Media and technology are brainwashing and stimulating the minds of this generation. Instead of having authentic human experiences we are left to deal with social media interactions. If we put down our phones we would see the beauty of human interaction, similar to the beauty of fire. Often times, distributing knowledge is frowned upon and ignorance is praised. People are killing themselves because they feel that their only option for freedom in this world is to die to escape.
