I included this picture of the sun because just like the sun, it can be too hot and hurt us, but without the sun, our world is in darkness, just like a world without books.

Both Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451 reveal the themes of restriction, but also fear. The core reason of why they banned books in Fahrenheit 451 and in Animal Farm tried not to be everythign but human was because of fear. In Fahrenheit 451, they are so afraid of conflict that they get to the point of banning any form of book, and it shows in the minds of the people and the way they think. As well as in Animal Farm, the animals are so afraid of the humans that they end up acting and mistreating the humans just as the humans would to them. Additionally, they show the selfishness of people in this world, of wanting authority over everyone and having the highest position of authority. Ultimately, I think both books shared important morals and taught people that an authoritarian government may give the idea of zero conflict, but in the end is the cause of it.

This image captures the idea of Fahrenheit 451 in my head. It sums up the idea of their society taking desperate measures to prevent any differences among themselves. In reality, books do not bring knowledge but instead spark different beliefs and train our minds to be strong, critical thinkers. The lollipop represents books and the dirt as the society, because although they view books as bad, there is no need to burn them. We can see that their way of restriction did not work because it is revealed that a once loyal firefighter has been taking books and teamed up with an old professor named Faber. Ultimately, the image captures how, even though you cannot have candy, there is still curiosity in how the candy tastes and the desire to have it just because you cannot access it.

In Fahrenheit 451, there is a character named Mildred who is brainwashed and portrays the impact of a society without books. The part where Raquelle is singing "Everybody loves meee" made a connection in my mind to Mildred because she is surrounded by these TVs saying her name, and she is mesmerized and cannot even listen to her husband, Montag. In the show, Raquelle is narcissistic in a joking way, but this is how I view Mildred, just as someone who is obsessed with oneself and lacking deep critical thinking and common knowledge.

This movie is based on Ray Bradbury's famous novel, Fahrenheit 451. However, it does differ in many ways, such as Montag and Clarisse develop a relationship spark. In my opinion, I feel that the movie takes away the emphasis on the impact Clarisse had on Montag, like in the book, Clarisse asks "Are you happy?"(Bradbury 7), which initiates a pondering cycle of doubt in him, testing if he truly is happy. As well as in the book, Clarisse is about 17, unlike the movies she is seen in her late 20s and 30s. I think her being younger in the book puts more emphasis on how her young mind was already developing new thoughts and ideas, which had such a big impact on Montag. In conclusion, I'd choose the book over the movie because the movie takes away key details that drive the theme deeper.

Trivia

In an homage to the 1966 version of the film, the 2018 version follows almost step for step when they burn the first "Eel" house, which houses the woman "The Grapes of Wrath." First Beatty tempts Montag to read the books from the secret upstairs library reciting some of the same sentiments about certain types of books. Beatty even snarls contemptuously at Mein Kampf. The fire fighters also fire a blue liquid from a similar liquid dispensing tube, saturating pages before they eventually started the fire. See more "

Goofs

At around 54 Minutes into the Film, Michael Shannons character Cpt. Beatty speaks to his men with a megaphone. This scene is completely mirrored, as Beattys Leathercoat has his Button Row now on the left side, and the 451 on the Fire-Truck is mirrored, too. See more "

Quotes

Clarisse McClellan : Why do I always make you nervous?
: You don't.
Clarisse McClellan : When I see you burning up Eel's lives, you don't look nervous.
: That's because I'm very good at my job.
Clarisse McClellan : Hmm. Have you ever thought, even for one second, why you do what you do? You should try reading before burning.

Animal Farm is about a group of animals who avoid at all costs trying to be like humans. Old Major is one of the main characters who plays the authoritative role. Later on in the book, Old Major is gone, which leads Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball to take leadership and create the Seven Commandments of Animalism, which included the final commandment as "All animals are equal."(Orwell 25)

This quote shows how, in order for their farm to work, they need to be, act and see one another as equals to work in a conflict-free farm. Equality was a main theme seen in both Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451, because fear led to a necessity for everyone to be equal and have no power over each other. Ultimately, Animal Farm teaches the importance of variety in a society and shows how authority is not always the best way to create harmony among people or animals in this case.

Fahrenheit 451 is about a dystopian society where the idea of books should be removed in order to keep a conflict-free community/government. The protagonist, Guy Montag, is a firefighter, but not the type of firefighter you would expect. The firefighters in this community are the opposite of what they are in the real world. Instead of putting out the fire, they produce it by burning books. However, little do they know Montag has been stealing books and amassing them. His life takes a turn when an open-minded young woman named Clarisse presents a new way of thinking to him and puts the rest of the book in play. I prefer Fahrenheit 451 over Animal Farm due to the fact of it having deeper values and showing how conformity can truly affect a society. In part 1 of Fahrenheit 451, conformity is mentioned by a character named Captain Beatty. He says, "We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal"(Bradbury 55). This quote displays how they will reach desperate measures to achieve unrealistic "peace.", such as banning literature.

Themes: Conformity, censorship, lack of individuality

Why? The book Fahrenheit 451 explains the lack of individuality amongst themselves and shows the impact of a society without one's own understanding. Additionally, conformity is a major theme in this book, which shows how the absence of critical thinking and reason that books produce leads to an unknown place where everyone is being mirrored. As well as due to the banning of books individuality is erased from existence because it is now absent, and everyone thinks the same thing, which is that books are bad. In our world today, contrast is common, and not everyone believing the same thing is a daily norm, unlike in the novel, where everyone is equal. Diversity increases the chance of chaos, but it encourages individuality and your own way of thinking. Ultimately, I view diversity and individuality as good because conformity is strict and does not always lead to the "peace" they are seeking. The quote reveals how there is no diversity or any variety in their society. Moreover, this quote is said by Guy Montag, and he truly emphasized how he sees no diversity in any of his fellow companions.

Text evidence: "These men were all mirror images of himself"

(Bradbury 30)

The video clip I chose is from Spy Kids, but I'm comparing their society to the Thumb Thumbs from that clip. When the Thumb Thumbs run, fall, or get electrocuted, they all do it the same and are identical to one another. As well as they have no mind of their own, so they just go with what is being told to them, just like in Fahrenheit 451, where each one of them has it implanted into them that books are bad, which emphasizes the vast impact Clarisse had on Montag when she asked, "Are you happy?"
