Are we being controlled and conditioned not to be curious? 
Do we make certain sacrifices for the sake of social stability?
Do we allow the government to control our information?]]> 2019-01-16 17:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/321351915 22ttran2 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323024892 After reading Fahrenheit 451, modern America is similar to the society showed in F451. We are becoming more like them because our technological achievements continue to change. We are also developing ideas that are put to test for the future. ]]> 2019-01-22 15:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323024892 22ttran2 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323027820 2019-01-22 15:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323027820 22ttran2 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323028221 The American society is a highly structured system of human organization for large scale community living that normally furnishes protection, continuity, security, and a national identify for each member. ]]> 2019-01-22 15:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323028221 22ttran2 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323030717 "How do you get so empty? He wondered... 'You're not in love with anyone!'...Well, wasn't there a wall between him and Mildred, when you came down to it? Literally not just one wall, but so far, three! And expensive too! And the uncles, the aunts, the nieces, the nephews that lived in those walls, the gibbering pack"(Bradbury 41).
This shows how this part of society only depended on televisions to create a distraction for their real happiness, and they even replaced their real family with a fake one. We are also similar to them because now we listen to almost everything the government tells us, and this might have put us in a situation where Montag's society was in.]]> 2019-01-22 15:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323030717 22ttran2 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323030752 2019-01-22 15:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323030752 22ttran2 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323035798 2019-01-22 15:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323035798 22ttran2 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323035988 "They're faking. You threw them off at the river.  They can't admit it... so they're sniffing for a scapegoat to end things with a bang" (Bradbury 141).
This shows how this part of society tricks its people into thinking they are safe when they are actually not. This keeps them distracted from wondering and pointing out why the man's face was blurred out. We are similar to this society because sometimes we lie about the truths and leaves our people in the dark as well. ]]> 2019-01-22 15:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323035988 22ttran2 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323038241 2019-01-22 15:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323038241 22ttran2 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323039366 "I plunk the children in school nine days out of ten.

But who has ever torn himelf from the claw that encloses you when you drop a seed in a TV parlor? It becomes and is the truth. Books can be beaten down with a reason. But with all my knowledge and skepticism, I have never been able to argue with a hundred piece symphony orchestra, full color, three dimensions, and being in and part of those incredible parlors" (Bradbury 80).
This shows how one part of the society is masked by the reality that they all use technology as a distractions from keeping them from thinking too much therefore causing conflict. We are similar because we have different distractions, but these distractions are dangerous because it prevents us from doing the real job and living a real life. ]]> 2019-01-22 15:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/323040943 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/2542738579 2023-04-03 20:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/2542738579 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/2542738768 2023-04-03 20:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/2542738768 https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/2542738850 2023-04-03 20:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/22vlam2/bnhacmz8wzte/wish/2542738850
