technology can be found in America today because people are frequently using phones, texting and connecting over social media.

Montag’s society in Fahrenheit 451 interacted with each other and how they responded to certain situations. The same can be said for today’s society. Mildred and her friends’ relationships with their husbands and children, or lack, thereof, are key examples of the effect of technology on their correlations with others. Seashells and the “parlor walls” are also used to help the user forget about everything else around them, which is not too far from today’s reality. In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury makes

In the beginning of the school year we started off with some Native American mythological stories, to the era of American History, to Mccarthyism and the puritans in The Crucible, the Duck In, and the last thing we read was Fahrenheit 451. In all of the stories that we’ve read had a similarity about being stuck in the cave and not really knowing what it would be like to step out of it.

screen I feel like there isn’t enough emotional attachment to make you feel things to the greatest extent. I find it very sad that technology is such a social norm now, it takes away so many connections people could have had. In books such as Fahrenheit 451 it gives examples and metaphors for what technology is creating in our society. Ray bradbury says things such as the quote above to demonstrate the things being lost in our future generations. Technology consumes our time on stupid things that

study is not scientifically proven, most signs are defined on opinion. Astrology is usually represented by 12 different zodiac signs, a person's signs is dependent on the month they were born. I think the three main characters from Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 are very complex and can be defined by a single sign. I think Clarisse McClellan is a Gemini, Guy Montag is Cancer, and Captain Beatty is an Aeries. Clarisse McClellan is a Gemini because Geminis are often described to be curious, creative
