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.
