451 & Me

for example in the book Montag's wife need to take capsules to forget about the life she's living , that is similar to life today because a lot of people use drugs to escape from the life their living. in the book of Fahrenheit 451 most of the people didn't have rights and now all the people have the right to defend themselves. For example in the book students were taught to not say anything and to not ask any questions, but now students are taught about the rights they have. another example is that now more people use their phones and they forgot about reading and that is similar to Fahrenheit 451 because firemen jobs was to burn all the books. also in the book Fahrenheit 451 the people didn't have electricity and now all the people have electricity.
