Farenheit 451 Reflection

Reflection 1 Cipriano Echavarria Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Pg. 72 You cant build a planetary house without nails and wood. If you dont want a house built, hide the nails and wood. If you dont want a man un euphoric politically, dont go on him two sides to a question to worry him give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget on that point is such a thing as state of war. (72) Censorship has stroked the world for umteen decades fearful governments have been hiding information or modifying it to its citizens. Why? Why are governments afraid of the knowledge of their people?cognition is power, and throughout history weve seen how man is al managements in search for more knowledge, curious on finding explanations to unanswered questions and on analyzing both sides to a question. acquaintance of people has caused many problems to world governments, many revolutions and wars have started due to the fact that citizens have encountered a forward-looking form of forecasti ng. Fahrenheit 451 portrays a futuristic fiat in which the government has censored everything, from books to newspapers and from T.V shows to Radio shows. This society never experiments conflict or disagreement because everybody is taught the same things and therefore think the same way. This has made me think on which is actually the best way to rule a society. Is it the way most countries in the world implement, an uncensored and free-thinking way, were due to the assorted opinions and thoughts many conflicts are created which lead to death, torture and cruelty. Or is it the way shown in the book, were everybody is thought to think the same way.I arrived to a conclusion and basing myself on the Human Rights Declaration, people should be free on what information they want to know and on how they want to think, but they must be taught to respect differences, and to be tolerant in outrank to avoid conflict. Reflection 2 Cipriano Echavarria Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Pg. 181 I r eally enjoyed myself and learned a lot while reading this book. Ive never want fiction or realistic-fiction books but Ive got to admit that this book will relieve oneself me think twice whenever Ill have to choose between a fiction and a non-fiction book.The author did a really god job on creating a Futuristic place were many things were associated to reality but had different roles. For example, firemen kinda of having to extinguish fire had to create fires which burned books. This makes you think about reality and ask yourself questions about how would society be if roles were inverted, if firemen instead of extinguishing fires created them, if policemen instead of providing security against thefts and murders would attack you, if drugs were legal etc.The book not only provided an interesting perspective on how would a society be if everyone thought the same way but it also gave many lectures about love and friendship. It showed how Montag (main character) didnt love his wife a nd that even though he pretended and tried to be happy with her and tried to love her wasnt able to do it. This made me think about the importance of love, and of never trying to trick your feelings on trying to make them love a person who you really dont, it also made me think (as harsh as it could sound) if I really loved my girlfriend or if she was just a person who physically and mentally attracted me.Finally the author did a great job in writing many quotes that relates to everyday situations, one of the quotes that I most liked and related to was We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over so in a series of kindnesses there is at least one which makes the vegetable marrow run over. The author used this quote to explain Montags feelings towards a girl named Clarisse, which after a short time beingness friends Montag started to love.This quote extremely relates to a situation I experienced in the past, my best friend and I let our hearts run over and after many years of being friends we fell in love. Fahrenheit has been probably the book from which Ive most learned about and the one with I could relate the most its my new favorite book. Its curious how things in life just arrive in the perfect moment. A week ago I was in the UN perplex of Barranquilla discussing Extrajudicial Executions and censorship done by the government coincidentally Fahrenheit 451 is based on different types of Extrajudicial Executions and censorship done by the government.
