Body Paragraphs (DRAFT) Mark 1 ( IN NEED OF CRITICAL HELP)


    
Books and most forms off literature were banned as education became less and less prioritized and people became more and more interested with "pictures". With that in mind the only access to information were the walls which also became the main source of entertainment for the citizens of F.451. And with that shady, unidentified government of F.451 are able to spoon feed the citizens whatever knowledge they want them to believes. This accomplishes their goal of a Utopian society where everyone is like minded. This is easily seen when Mildred, Mrs.Phelps, and Mrs.Bowles come together to watch the brain washing walls. But what is also shown is the difference between those that either continue to read books or at one point actively read them and those that actively watch the walls. 

When Mildred, Mrs.Phelps, and Mrs.Bowles decide to meet together at Montag's house and watch the walls they all seem to almost be the same person. When Montag abruptly disconnects the walls as they're watching it they all seem equally disturbed and annoyed. When they decide to talk about politics to somehow satisfy Montag they have different views but are based upon the same standards of the appearance of politicians instead of their views or morals. When Montag begins to read "Dover's Beach" to them they all seem disturbed and troubled of the thought of even listening to literature. And as Montag does read they are all described to have the face of discomfort that their multicolored wall was now the shade of grey. And in the end they seem to have no actual insight of the poem which angers Montag to the point of insanity. It's as if they were programmed to only live for happiness and entertainment. They seem to not have any thoughts at all but they simply do, similar to the hound.
