APPLIED MODERNISM

 

 

          Farenheit 451 is considered a modernist novel.  Farenheit 451 was all about the future and things that were completely irrelevant to the present time.  The author was trying to get the point across that we need to make change.  The novel was different from most stories because it was all about books decaying.  Farenheit 451 was a modernist novel that is very different from most novels people read.

 

          The author wrote about books being burnt which had nothing to do with anything in real life.  Firefighters are used to put fires out but in this book, it was all about firefighters burning books down.  The usual good guys were the bad guys in this book because they didn't believe that books were good.  They were afraid of change but Montag wanted change.

 

          The theme of this story was about making change and taking a stand against something most people don't believe in.  The author talked about Montag wanting to find out if books were really as bad as people said they were.  Montag wanted to make a change and do things that other people were to afraid to do.  The author was trying to tell the reader that it's ok to make changes and that the people closest to you can be the ones holding you back the most.

 

          This novel was way more different than any other novel and it wasn't something that people normally think about.  This was a bizarre story that the author created to give a very good and valid point to the reader.  He wrote about books being burnt and a bunch of other crazy things to really get the point to the reader.  The author created this novel to make the point clear to the reader that we need to make change in the things that we do in our life.
