The book we are reading is is called Fahrenheit 451. The beginning of the book, the part that we
started reading shows a lot of what their world is like. Their world is a lot like ours in a way. The
media and its society has a very significant effect on everyone's mindset. While everyone should have a mindset of their own, they don't because of what is going on around them, and same thing with us. For example, if we see a celebrity with designer clothes on, the rest of the world who idolizes these celebrities will want to wear these designers themselves. The media and the government want us to be completely oblivious to everything, using things like laws, or even television programs. Reality television shows keep us entertained with foolishness about peoples "real" lives, and we seem to be okay with that. It keeps us from being knowledgeable about what is going on around us. People in reality t.v. aren't even a glimpse of what the real life is like. Television producers and casting directors do enough research to understand what will entertain simple minds, and it works. Despite their family's riches, their money just seems to add up because of the people glued to their T.V. screens watching their shows.
Do you think our society is going to become more like the society from the book?
