Essay / Slow and steady wins the race: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray...
The most powerful motivation is greed and it can only be stopped with appropriate mediators, but they must not get too excited and act in a stupid way, otherwise their cause will become stupid too. big to consume. Good ideas for good causes take time, and caveats should be kept in mind no matter how necessary the plan is to come to fruition. Even though the world of a dystopian society is absolutely horrible, no government is ever overthrown easily. The people exempt from these societies, who call themselves leaders, live as decadent a life as they can by choosing the lives of others. In “Burning Bright,” part three of Fahrenheit 451, Beatty says, “Old Montag wanted to fly near the sun and now that he's burned his wings he wonders why. » This allusion demonstrates that Guy Montag and Kurt Vonnegut's main character, "Harrison Bergeron", both suffered like Icarus because they did not heed the warnings. Throughout Fahreinheit 415, Montag was warned to stay away from books and the thought of expression while he was being watched by the mechanical mechanism. dog. The dog was a book sniffer and was controlled by the fire station to protect the streets from anyone reading literature. This means that the dog definitely didn't like a character like Montag and this hatred made Montag a suspect in his green-blue neon flickering eye bulbs. Montag caught the scent of the watchful dog when “The dog half rose in his kennel and looked at him… He growled again, a strange raspy combination of electric crackle…” (23). Montag, interested in the dog, touched its muzzle and received an aggravated response. Surprised by the dog's reaction, Montag said, "'No, no, boy,' [with] his heart pounding. He saw the silver needle extend into the air an inch, move back, extend, move back. The growl is simmering... middle of paper... shut up, shut up!' It was a supplication, such a terrible cry... from this man with a wild and stuffed face, a dry and chattering mouth, the book rattling in his fist” (75). Montag and Bergeron no longer care about the chains that both companies impose on them, their motivation has become too difficult to bottle. The opportunity to get rid of all handicaps was so slim that waiting another second seemed impossible. However, their main flaw was that they were stubborn and did not listen to the warnings that Beatty gave to Montag or that Diana Moon Glampers gave to Bergeron. So when they took flight their intentions were good, but when they flew too high they lost all support. Works Cited Bradbury, Ray. Fahrenheit 451. New York: Simon & Schuster Paperbacks, 2013. Print.
