Final project Utopia

if you really knew me -montag

"Montag was in the dark street again, looking at the world." (Bradbury 94) This shows that Montag isn't really looking at the whole entire world. He's just looking at the stuff around him. This showed that Montag doesn't really know what to do. "His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets, moving under Beatty's alcohol-flame stare." (Bradbury 107) This is showing that Montag feels like he has done something wrong. Bradbury is trying to explain how Montag feels at this time.

Utopian or Dystopian - Montag

Hello everyone, Staring this blog off I would like to say that society is dystopian because instead of making the people happy with the laws they carry out for "good benefit"(Bradbury 57) Everyone is miserable and unhappy to admitting its society flaws.

Clarisse Utopian vs Dystopian

My character and I have the same opinion/view on what Utopian and Dystopian society's look like. Utopian is like a perfect society and where everyone is treat fair/equal and Dystopian is the opposite. My character Clarisse and I both would rather prefer to live in a Utopian society that is more peaceful. We like this society more because with a Utopian society it would seem as if you get a better chance to do things with your life.

Utopian vs Dystopian

            Montags idea of a utopian society is a place where everyone has free will and everyone can think what they want to think. Reading is not illegal and people can read books freely. My version of a utopian society is almost the same. Everyone has free will and can think what they want to.

If you really knew me

          If you really knew me you would know that even though i work as a fireman i am wondering about my choices of career as i see how much these people love their books and we are just killing them. Im getting curious about what are in these books that make people die for them. Also i dont know if i actually love my wife she just sits there with her "family" on the walls and i don't know who i actually married

Can you believe that happened

Dear Mildred
               Today while on a job at a house that had books we got to the house and there was a lady who wanted to save her books so badly that she refused to leave and everyone just burnt the house down and it killed her. Everyone else just kept doing there work, they didn't even care I don't know what was wrong with them.

Utopian vs Dystopian Society

Mildred's vision of a utopian is the version of the world she currently lives in. She is perfectly content to live without books, only visiting friends to do the same thing she does at home - watch TV. And when confronted by change, she becomes scared. For example, when Montag shows Mildred all of the books he's stolen, she becomes almost terrified of them. "'Mildred backed away as if she were suddenly confronted by a pack of mice that ad come up out of the floor. He could hear her breathing rapidly and her face was paled out and her eyes were fastened wide. She said his name over, twice, three time. Then, moaning, she ran forward, seized a book, and ran toward the kitchen incinerator." What we can see from this is that Mildred is perfectly content living the life that she is, and doesn't want it to change at all costs.

In my personal opinion, a utopian society wouldn't necessarily be one where everyone was happy. It would be just and fair, but also show mercy to those who deserve it. also concert tickets and plane tickets would be like 10 dollars.

Dystopia vs. Utopia (Faber)

Professor Faber is a very intelligent, realistic person. "I don't talk about things, sir, I talk the meaning of things. I sit here and know I'm alive."(77) He realizes that not all things are fun and games, that some things have meaning and are important. Professor Faber's utopia would be a world where everyone realizes the things he realizes and values things that are important. My personal Utopia would be similar, but trust to me is very important. I would like for people to all work together as a family, get done what needs to get done. Then, you could enjoy yourself and chill together.

Literary Devices

Bradbury uses different literary devices to portray Mildred as a superficial person, wanting only to spend time with her parlor families. When Bradbury writes "Her face was like a snow covered island..." (17) he uses this simile to show how cold she is towards reality and Montag and how detached she is from the real world while she submerges herself into her parlor family.

If you Really Knew Me (Professor Faber)

Ray Bradbury used many different methods and literary devices to describe the characters and making them relatable and good. "The thought had been with him many times recently but now he remembered how it was that day in the city park when he had seen that old man in the black suit hide something, quickly, in his coat." This example is an imagery of a memory that Montag has of Faber. Doing this throughout the story makes the reader feel more connected and understands the character better. Even more importantly, it helps the reader understand what the character has to do with the overall theme of the book.

Literary Device On Clarisse

In the story Ray Bradbury uses a literary device (which is a simile) and how he uses this is on page 11 in the story Fahrenheit 451 he compares Clarisse's face to be bright as snow in the moonlight. "There was only the girl walking with him now, her face bright as snow in the moonlight" that's the textual evidence from the book.

Dear Montag

Dear Montag,

I'm sorry that I put in the alarm but I told you that bringing books into this house would ruin us. I would have let it go on for longer but you read it in front of Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles and I couldn't just act like it wasn't a big deal anymore. All I wanted to do was sit in the parlor with my 'family' but you completely ruined it when you stole those books and read poetry to my friends. Why couldn't you just leave everything as it was?

--Mildred

Post 1

Hello! Montag here,

                                 Yes I might be a little clumsy and misguided but my dedication has began since the beginning. I am also get frustrated and confused easy. Many of you have heard about the old lady on Elm Street it was very tragic.


       
                   

Dear Mildred

Dear Mildred,

Why did you take the books? Don't you know that you are going to get in trouble?

Faber's Letter

Dear Montag,

         Hello friend, how are you doing in these rough times? I heard about the lady on Elm Street. That event was a tragedy. She was actually a good friend of mine long ago before the war. We taught together and she was a very intelligent person. It hit me hard when I heard what had happened and it's very unfortunate you were there to see it.

         I have been thinking a lot about my life after the war since this event. I have always considered myself a coward for not speaking out about books. Books are clearly important to the right people. Just because books had lost value to the majority of people, they are still very valuable to others. Our society now days is so ignorant of a lot of things in life and I feel things cannot go well for much longer. I have agreed to help you with your plan and I do so to try and make a change. If I didn't then I could no longer respect myself and would probably ending up being just the lady on Elm Street.

                                                                                                                          Sincerely,
                                                                                                                       Professor Faber

About Me

My name is Clarisse. I am a lover of nature, i'm seventeen and I am very aware of my surroundings and the people I am with

A Little About Me

Hello, I'm Mildred. I have a husband named Guy, but everyone just calls him Montag. Sometimes I think his opinions are a bit off. We used to have these neighbors who had all these crazy ideas, I think they might have affected him. But thats all solved now, I think they're dead. I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately, and it seems like the pills don't help. I'd say more, but I have to get back to the 'relatives'.

       Hello my name is Montag and I work as a firemen, but sometimes I wonder about if its truly the right thing to be doing. I have a beautiful wife named Mildred who sometimes can get on my nerves, but we still love each other. Another thing to mention is one of my neighbors Clarisse even though i've known her for a short amount of time she's made a very big impact on me and my way of thinking and she went and disappeared.
