Students are forced to learn things to absorb information that the government wants them to know but at the same time it does not allow students to express what subjects that they want to learn. Therefore, not allowing them to be creative.]]> 2019-01-21 19:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22aolvera/o1mrl3uccc6v/wish/322764339 22aolvera https://padlet.com/22aolvera/o1mrl3uccc6v/wish/322766586 Our society is becoming more like the society that Bradbury displays in Fahrenheit 451 because we are being controlled and conditioned to not to be curious. ]]> 2019-01-21 19:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/22aolvera/o1mrl3uccc6v/wish/322766586 Evidence: 22aolvera https://padlet.com/22aolvera/o1mrl3uccc6v/wish/322773598
  • ¨But I don´t think it´s social to get a bunch of people together and then not let them talk¨ (Bradbury 27).
  • ¨We never ask questions, or at least most don´t, they just run the answers at you¨ (Bradbury 27).
  • "If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none." (Bradbury 58).
  • With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be" (Bradbury 55).

In Bradbury´s society, technology is used as a distraction to individuals and deprive them of their curiosity. For instance, Clarisse describes the schools in the novel to only provide students with the answers they want them to know. Consequently, individuals lose their reason to wonder and question things about their lives or of the world. This aspect of our curiosity being controlled and conditioned is found within our society today. Most children grow up with the belief that success only comes from following a certain path that everyone has to go through like going to college and choosing a career they might not be passionate about. Students are obligated to feel that this path is the only option they have to live by because of society and social norms. This causes restrictions and limits on the curiosity and creativity of children growing up. Because most feel this way, they are not curious enough to explore different paths and opportunities.]]> 2019-01-21 20:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/22aolvera/o1mrl3uccc6v/wish/322784474
