  • Essay / Farenheit 451: A Kind of Zombies - 981

    The pages of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 were intended to show a plausible disaster in America, even though the events never happened; this could still be achieved to some extent. We can understand why Mr. Bradbury wrote such a novel to make us think about what might happen. If we move away from the methods of seeking knowledge we offer in our society, we may still find the tides of conformity sweeping away our humanity. We strive to maintain this disastrous dystopia created only in our feared thoughts and ideas. If such a change were to occur here, we would view the situation as a danger of great magnitude, one that turns us into a kind of zombie. Yes, a kind of zombie, they could be like the undead community to the point of always keeping a fake smile. Still, we can't help but wonder: What makes a zombie?

The people of Fahrenheit 451 choose to look the same. They hated, as Beatty recalls and describes, middle of paper... she was truly unhappy and "hungry" for something important that all humanity needs to be like humans; not zombies. The people reading had the goal of getting the story out into the world and they loved that goal, which made them happy, unlike the sad emptiness of Millie and most people. Without a purpose to live, love, and remember the past, people are more likely to be dead than alive. This, in turn, made them look like some sort of zombies. Works Cited Bradbury, Ray.
