Compare Fahrenheit 451 And Modern Society

“If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you’ll never learn.” (Fahrenheit 451 30). Based off the quote just stated, it is obvious to say that Bradbury believed a person must make mistakes in order to learn things in life. In today’s society, people go out, do what they need to live in the easiest and fastest way possible. Not many in today’s society go out of their way to make life a little more interesting. In Fahrenheit 451, it is looked at as to be unquestioning similar to today’s society, especially by the violence in people, and technology advancements, though some may say there society is moving at a much faster pace than today 's.

The speed of the subway in the society Bradbury had come up with moves at the same speed velocity as it does in today’s society. It is a way for people to move from point A to point B fast paced and without any work or effort put into getting places. Getting onto a subway to arrive where a person needs to be takes nearly no thought and is able to land people where they need to be faster. The speed society is currently moving is very much to the society Bradbury describes. The fast-paced lifestyle people are living is causing an issue, and not allowing people to see the overall picture of how beautiful life can be if
