Fahrenheit 451 - A Structured and censor World   Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 forces us to envision a dry land that is so structured and censored fire humans exist non to fight back fires, for all buildings are fireproof, only when instead to burn books. Fahrenheit 451 is a horrific account of what could happen in an all too sozzled future when society carries political correctness to its extreme. One of the primary characters that virtuoso meets in Fahrenheit 451 is a young girl named Clarrise has been raised to consist the way things once were, in a time where people had square(a) freedom Because of Clarrises view of life she is branded as anti-social by her teachers and an outcast by her fellow classmates. Clarrise becomes acquainted with another main character named laugh at Montag. Montag is a fireman who deep inside does not want to feel a life without having to think. Montags inner thoughts become more and more a part of him as the book progresses. Montag event ually becomes a freedom booster of sorts when he joins a group of people who illegally hide and exhibit books. Montags wife Mildred on the other hand prefers not to have to think, but rather to allow others to think for her to simply say yes I agree. Mildred is the mental image of laziness.   The most complex of all the characters is the fire chief Beatty. Beatty is a man who once was educated but has now turned his back on education and works to destroy it. Beatty knows what is in books but chooses not to care, not to do anything but help the destruction of books. The loss of the characters freedom to call for and to think was not an act that was forced on the people but, embraced by the people. The people loved the idea of not having to think anymore. The desire to anticipate issues was gradually lost by the people. Since the desire the desire to confront issues was lost people stopped doing anything that was so called politically incorrect so as to affend no one. After a while not confronting issues became so instinctive that anyone who did was considered odd and a threat.
