People in the Fahrenheit 451 society are restricted from education and learning, more than today's society. ]]> 2019-01-20 22:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322532675 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322532761 "School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored" (Bradbury 53).]]> 2019-01-20 22:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322532761 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322532969 Bradbury, Ray.

Cram them full of noncombustible data,... full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving" (Bradbury 58).]]> 2019-01-20 22:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322533427 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322533528 In the first quote, Captain Beatty is describing the education that they have. This is significant because Beatty is saying that these things that people learn from school are not important and it does not bring people happiness, so that is why they do not care about their education. But, in today's society, people believe that education is the key to happiness, such as finishing and passing school to get their dream job and make money. In the second quote, Beatty is saying that the firemen are tricking people into thinking they are learning new things to keep them happy, even though they are not learning anything new. The third quote is important because the women really cared for her books and would not leave without them and so she stayed with the books and burned with them to prove her point that books are valuable. The fourth quote is meaningful because in the book, people did not understand and value people who were thinkers because they thought it would not make them happy. But, in today's society, people are grateful for those thinkers because those are the people who discover new concepts and create new ideas for everyone else to learn from. Lastly, in the fifth quote, Beatty is telling Montag that school is becoming more active instead of thinking, but in this society, schools havemore thinking and examiners because that is what gets people what they want, passing school to get their job and from that job the money that they earned from it.]]> 2019-01-20 22:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322533528 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322534962 "The women knelt among the books, touching the drenched leather and cardboard, reading the filt titles with her fingers while her eyes accused Montag" (Bradbury 35).]]> 2019-01-20 22:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322534962 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322534971 "She didn't want to know how a thing was done, buy why. That can be embarrassing. You ask Why to a lot of things and you wind up very unhappy indeed, if you keep at it" (Bradbury 57-58).]]> 2019-01-20 22:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322534971 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322535078 In Fahrenheit 451, people ban books to stop them from being curious and exploring, but in today's society, schools encourage reading and being creative and curious. People in the book are limited to discovering since they do not know what the world is like and they feel as if it would make them unhappy. However, people in today's world explore for fun and if they find something that they think is rare/special, then they record it down in a book so that others can read and learn from it. Many people have expanded their curiosity from books because they become more interested in the world from reading what other people have found. Their creativity levels have increased as well because they get inspiration from books and they are inspired to create their own book or to read and learn more from other people's books. ]]> 2019-01-20 22:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322535078 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322540907 "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).]]> 2019-01-20 23:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322540907 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322551470 2019-01-21 01:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322551470 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322551525 2019-01-21 01:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322551525 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322551776 2019-01-21 01:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322551776 22ppopal https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322553930 2019-01-21 01:56:50 UTC https://padlet.com/22ppopal/ovou3d4t2pg7/wish/322553930
