Very well thought comment.

Jordan

Very true

Chief

This ain’t it

Johnny

10/23/2018 01:14:02 pm

We have a lot more screens than people

Taija

10/23/2018 01:20:32 pm

I agree

Jordan

Most people don’t read books anymore unless forced too. People still do drugs and stuff like that.

Emma Dahle

That’s true, a lot of people nowadays would rather watch it then have to read it.

One thing similar from the book is that both worlds are very dangerous in their own rights. People in Fahrenheit 451 worry about firefighters when we worry about getting robbed or killed

Blazen Burgess

Very true.

Frick ur right!!😬😥

Faith

True

One connection between the society in Fahrenheit 451 and our society is that we are more distant because of technology.

Tierryn

10/23/2018 01:17:49 pm

Valid point!

Emma Dahle

10/23/2018 01:19:09 pm

I agree most people don’t want to talk and would rather text.

Sammy H.

10/23/2018 01:21:22 pm

I agree this is true.

Blazen Burgess

Our society is starting to turn into more of a technology dominant place. So like all of the TV’s that are in Fahrenheit 451. Also no one really communicates in Fahrenheit 451 and I feel like our society is becoming that way also.

Griffin Mylan

10/23/2018 01:16:53 pm

Yes. I do agree with you on this on

Johnny

10/23/2018 01:17:09 pm

We are dominated by screens.

Caden Caywood

10/23/2018 01:19:15 pm

I agree with you

Eli

People have more screen in there house than people in a house. People are trying to ban books. The government tries to control us. It’s hard to talk to people face to face because they are always on there devices.

Dillon

10/23/2018 01:18:09 pm

You are right. There are more screens than people in most houses.

Sam

10/23/2018 01:19:33 pm

Yes it is harder to talk to people now days.

Chayla Slavin

10/23/2018 01:19:52 pm

I agree. Many of the issues that the society in the novel has we have too.

Avery

10/23/2018 01:20:48 pm

I agree!

Faith

10/23/2018 01:22:02 pm

People do have a lot of screens

Dillon

10/23/2018 01:16:11 pm

One connection between our society and the society in Fahrenheit 451 is people wanting to get rid of books. Everyone is also so involved in their screens that they don’t pay attention to anything around them.

Sam

10/23/2018 01:18:25 pm

Yes this is true. People don’t like books.

Eli

10/23/2018 01:19:04 pm

They pay attention to the screens around them

Sam

10/23/2018 01:16:33 pm

One very prominent thing in Fahrenheit 451 that relates to our world today is the seashells that Mildred always has in her ears. She is completely oblivious to everything around her most of the time and it is very hard for Montag to carry on a conversation. This is happening today because we always see people glued to some type of screen or walking around with earphones in their ears because there is always something better then what’s going outside of that.

Avery

10/23/2018 01:20:06 pm

I agree! We are to connected to the internet.

Tierryn

10/23/2018 01:16:42 pm

Clarisse has a bunch of theories about how the world used to be and how they’re lying to them. It’s just like a bunch of conspiracy theories, everyone has a different take on everything.

Jordan

10/23/2018 01:18:58 pm

Yes. Yes they do

Treygan

10/23/2018 01:17:03 pm

One thing that is the same is that many people don’t care about books

Eli

10/23/2018 01:19:39 pm

True dat

Emma Dahle

10/23/2018 01:17:25 pm

In the book more people have screens then people in the household as we do nowadays. When Montags wife keeps wanting more walls (TVs) and they already have 3. She would rather have more TVs then talk to her husband.

Tierryn

10/23/2018 01:18:45 pm

Gotta love technology.

Chayla Slavin

10/23/2018 01:21:21 pm

That’s very true. Most people nowadays spend more time with screens than with other people.

Miriam

10/23/2018 01:21:30 pm

So true

Caden Caywood

10/23/2018 01:17:41 pm

One of the connections between the story and our society are that we care more about electronics than socializing with people in the same room as us. This is like how Mildred cares more about her TV’s than her husband and we text people in the same room as us.

Treygan

10/23/2018 01:20:19 pm

This is very true

Will

10/23/2018 01:22:31 pm

Nice job paying attention, Cayden Caywood.

Chayla Slavin

10/23/2018 01:18:00 pm

People in our society use sleeping pills and overall have a drug abuse problem. Mildred uses medications to fall asleep and often takes a dangerous amount of pills without even realizing it. Both societies also have far too many suicides.

Taija

10/23/2018 01:20:54 pm

This is true

Taylee Matthews

10/23/2018 01:24:26 pm

Well said I agree chayla

Avery

10/23/2018 01:18:37 pm

The society from Fahrenheit 451 and our current society are very similarly. We both suffer from drug overdose, suicide, and always connected to the internet.

Dillon

10/23/2018 01:20:24 pm

You are right

Miriam

10/23/2018 01:23:16 pm

The content about being connected is so true.

Brooke

10/23/2018 01:23:37 pm

I agree that we have the same similarities

Taija

10/23/2018 01:19:22 pm

Drug over dose, screens in each room, and cars.

Will

10/23/2018 01:19:39 pm

In Fahrenheit 451 there are police forces that help keep the town safe, just like our society. Although in the book the firemen are very different then our firefighters today.

Miriam

10/23/2018 01:19:46 pm

People in our society still have depression problems and over dose on medication just like montags wife almost did.

Will

10/23/2018 01:21:13 pm

I thought of this idea too, good job.

Sammy H.

10/23/2018 01:22:44 pm

I agree it’s becoming a bigger issue.

Brooke

10/23/2018 01:19:52 pm

A connection between our society and the books is drug abuse. People die from using pills all the time or depression. They are all starting to notice how unhappy they are in both society’s.

Faith

10/23/2018 01:20:13 pm

One connection between the society’s today is that we have a lot of technology that they have. They have TVs for wall(we don’t have that but we have more screens than people in our houses) . We also have the ear pods.

Brooke

10/23/2018 01:22:14 pm

I agree with you we have a lot of the same tech

Taylee Matthews

10/23/2018 01:23:09 pm

Well said I agree

Sammy Hansen

10/23/2018 01:20:31 pm

We are both trying to better our community in certain ways. In Fahrenheit 451 they burn books; we spread knowledge. Teaching children the difference between good and bad, this differs in our world and Fahrenheit 451. Firefighters are still serving their community.

Jaicei

They’re technology is similar to ours and they deal with the same problems we are with that technology. For example, they have those shell speaker things and we have earbuds.

Taylee Matthews

10/23/2018 01:22:38 pm

More distance with each other, and suicide

Taija

12/17/2018 02:00:52 pm

The technology is similar to ours. And people are distance just like our society because of the technology. Face some of the same problems.
