Fahrenheit 451

are there any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? what are they, and how do they relate? does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?


Yes, there are some kind of current situations in the world that is relate to the novel. I think situation like develop of internet uses is kind of relate to the novel's situation. Since the internet had developed, the books are less interesting to people than before because we can find most of the informations in the internet easily and saving much of time. Another big reason is that there are lots of addicting games people can enjoy using the internet. These days many people are playing games using internet and many people are addicted to it and those people who are addicted at internet games are hardly read book by them selves, I mean read book just for their enjoyment or release stress, but not by forcing to read. These problems which makes people to think books are less important than before. Develope of internet situation relates to the novel's situation, which is banning books, by they both are lower the importance of the books. I think if the internet is more developed and everything is in the internet, then the books will slowly disappear. In the novel, there is no ideas of how current situations could be resolved or fixed, but I think if (for example kids and their parents) parents put on some efforts to their children, such as reading books to their children and read book often. Their was a research that says if parents read many books, then kids like books than those do not.
