Prompt 6

As I get further into Fahrenheit 451 I can see that the time period is extremely different than present day. For starters human interaction is much different. It seems as though basic human interaction is odd, and we see this with Guy and Clarisse. Guy finds it odd that their family sits around and talks, and even spies on them to see what they could possibly be talking about. I predict that Guy will find their way of life, which seems more like our present day life, better and more fulfilling. I think the book will show the struggle to go back to these feelings and way of life. Also at the fire station the author describes a mechanical dog/spider that kills animals. The firemen just sit around and bet and play games and see how fast the dog will kill something. I predict that this could also deal with the idea that machines could possibly have their own mind. Guy is afraid the machine might turn on him, and people often predict that one day machines will turn on us. So i think that could be another possible conflict in the novel.
