F451 summary part 1

The theme is technology because that concept is shown through the story. Technology seems to impact people in many ways and it’s shown a lot through this story. It also shows how life will be like in just a couple of years. For the authors Bradbury having this type of theme was very strange, for the time period it was written in. He had a great vision of how someday we humans will be living a life full of technology.
The characters Guy Montag and Clarisse McClellan are people that show different perspectives of life, during the time period of the story. Montag is shown as a person that forces himself to be happy. He also lives a life where he isn’t even happy at home. Clarisse on the other hand seems to enjoy life.  She is a smart girl that makes Montag realize he isn’t happy with his way of living.
The time period of when the story took place is very similar to ours right now. Technology seems to be the main ideas throughout the story. It is showing how it is taking over the world. It also shows that everything that once seemed normal is odd to them, like having a face to face conversation. People are not really in control of jobs, instead machines are.

Response to “Dream Within a Dream”

What I understand from the poem “Dream Within a Dream” is that it seems hard to understand what is a dream and what it real life. It is also really hard to remember what your dream was about even after you just woke up. No matter how had you try to remember it the less you seem to know what you were dreaming about and even the most basic details about it. The author also want to show how he would like to hold on to them for a long period of time so he can remember at least the good things in life, even if that comes from just a dream.

Brave New World Theme

From reading the book Brave New World the theme for me is loneliness. In the beginning we are introduced to Bernard, when we meet him he feels like he doesn’t fit in. He seems to be different from others and thinks differently than the people from the World State. People in the World State take soma and do sexual things in order to please themselves and others because they feel empty inside. John also feels out of place when he arrives to the World State that he wants to leave to the island.

I am GSD

As an independent learner I believe that it makes me understand a topic more. I can take as much time I want on a specific topic, without anyone telling me to rush my learning process. I feel like I can gather important information when I do my own research. When I become a independent learner it feels like it makes me more motivated and responsible as a person. It motivates me because I know what I need to improve on and I find ways to get better. It also makes me responsible because I know what I need to understand and how to increase my learning in anyway.
