The book Fahrenheit 451 brings up the topic of what the government may be like in the future which would probably scare many people. In this book, instead of saving people and putting out fires firemen burn books and corrupt the mind. The people living in this society are truly dumb. They agree with the burning of the books for some reason that is unknown and everybody just conforms to the way society is. The man that is portrayed as the government in this book is the fire chief  Captain Beatty. Beatty hates books but obviously knows a lot about books. The main character Guy Montag starts off as a firemen, but after he meets a girl named Clarrise McClellan who is a non conformist, and likes to ask questions he himself questions his own life. Guy has a collection of books, and he wants to find someone who he can talk to so he can find himself, and learn about books. Guy's wife represents the average person in this society who is brainwashed and believes that books are evil, and she even betrays him.  

      

I found his book very interesting, because in my eye's it shows the way the government can manipulate people. They find different ways to not allow people to think for themselves, because in this dystopia, it is bad to ask questions. The parlor walls are tv's that literally occupy the whole wall, and the car engine's are now tremendously loud which also does not give people the quietness they need to think. My reaction to this is that the government will do anything to get people confused and dumber in this dystopia.The government is taking away the mind's of people, and I wonder why they are doing this which would be by one critique of this book. In this future being human almost means being dumb and oblivious to the problems in this world. The government consumes people with technology that nobody realizes there is a war that is on the verge of starting, and that the world hates their country. The depiction of the future reveal about the present that people are loosing an interest in reading as the world becomes consumed with huge hdtv's, 3D movies, iphones that talk to you, and  video games our society is on a downward spiral.
