Fahrenheit 451 Essay

     In my eyes, Fahrenheit 451  has a lot to offer to readers in 2018. At first, I didn't think to much of the book. It would be a book where the title Fahrenheit 451  wouldn't grab my attetion, but then again don't judge a book by its cover. It's pretty crazy that this book was written in the 50's because it has situations that are now an every day life in 2018.      The role of technology in society now is huge just as it is in the book. Everywhere you go you see it. People basically carry all the information in the world in their pocket. For example, in the book people are addicted to their t.v. shows such as Mildred. It became a part of Mildred to be attached to the parlor walls. Technology nowadays is basically a part of one's daily routine. Schools are transforming from using textbooks to using tablets that carry all the information you need. Now you can turn in assignments online instead of paper just as this essay is getting turned in online.      M

The Pedestrian

The theme of The Pedestrian  is the dangers of technology to human society. Reason why people won't walk more in 2018 is laziness. I think self driving cars are cool but at the same time dangerous because what if a sensor that detects objects in its path fails. I think technology leads to more freedom/independence and isolation because you basically have everything in your smartphone. The tone of the story is cautious. Don't get to caught up in technology just because it's easier Bradbury gets the message across by telling everyokne else except Mr. Bradbury

Emerson's Essay

   Emerson's title was On Self-Reliance  and the thesis was frowning on imitation. The title and thesis are very similar. On Self-Reliance means to rely on yourself to seek for knowledge within you. "We lie in the lap of immense intelligence." This quote would agree with his title because you're surrounded by knowledge that you yourself can seek for and not seek anyone else for that knowledge. The thesis frowning on imitation means to be yourself and don' try to portray someone else who isn't you. "To be yourself in  a world that is constanty trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." This quote supports the thesis because it talks about how being yourself is the greatest accomplishment. Emerson's tone is very bold. Emerson's diction is well put together. The choice of words he uses are words you might have not heard of or know the meaning. His syntax is put in this way that you really have to read it over more than 1
