My character, Clarisse, perfect society would be allowed to read books. They would be able to read and look at books when ever they pleased. Books would not be burned. She would also like teenagers to be more interactive with each other and actually talk to each other.

My perfect society would be where everyone got along. I know that is cliché, but its true. I also would like education to be based on your level of learning and not the certain required classes. I also feel like school should teach us how to make it in the world, not how to read the periodic table and how to solve a polynomial.

Utopian vs. Dystopian

Faber's idea of a utopian society would be something like people having more freedom, especially with books. If people want to read and retain information they should be able to. Faber also thinks that people are too involved in the walls and aren't focusing on real world problems. A perfect balance for Faber would be more reading and learning, with little use of technology. Montag says, "I can't talk to the walls because they're yelling at me, I can't talk to my wife; she listens to the walls." This shows that people in this society are so involved in technology. My idea of a perfect society would involve technology, but not have it take over too much. Books would be allowed, but not pressured. Peoples relationships would be true and real, unlike how they are presented in Fahrenheit 451.

  Utopian society, a place where i can do whatever I want, nobody to stop me, from doing me, you do you boo, words i think everyone should live by. why live how people tell you when you can do whatever you want. Thats why my utopia is.. 

Post 4

I don't understand how my character thinks that his body can't control itself. Like when he killed Beatty, he said that his hands had a mind of their own and he is stupid enough to when he doesn't know that his brain controls everything I think that his utopia is everyone has the ability to read anything they want and do when what they want. My utopia is gender and race equality and anyone and everyone has they ability to do anything legal without an repercussions like opinions.

Beatty 4th Post

I am confused on my character. He willingly asked to die and took it "Go ahead now, you second-hand literature, pull the trigger." (Bradbury 121). So he clearly wasn't happy, but I don't feel he would  necessarily like a world without books, but I also don't think he would like a world full of literatures. I feel Beatty's Utopia would be like America today. He would have the choice of if he wanted to read or not or if he wanted to burn things. My idea of a Utopia would be a place where everyone could do whatever they wanted without money, without government, and without responsibilities. All of this of course would have to be with people who would never think of killing, stealing, raping, etc.

Beatty 3rd post

I seem alright on the outside. Leader of the Firemen and all. I have wanted to die for so long. I finally got the chance. I knew Montag in all his mixed feelings could do something rash. He gave me the chance to end it when he aimed the flame thrower at me. I got him aggravated by saying "Go ahead now, you second-hand literature, pull the trigger." (Bradbury 121) After more small talk he finally ended me. Relief of life was tantalizing.

If you really knew me and how i am drawn to the flame and how i think it's "a pleasure to burn" (Bradbury 7) like when i burned Beatty and thoguht about how we "never burned it right" (Bradbury 121) then proceeded to burn him to ashes.
