ENGL 02200 Study Guide - Final Guide: Keith Olbermann, Outlandish, Ray Bradbury
Document Summary
Thesis: the two stories fahrenheit 451, by ray bradbury, and the minority. Report, written by phillip k. dick, both are dystopian stories that make predictions about certain events in the future; but were both written in the past. Fahrenheit 451 and the minority report both predicted the future outcome, due to the over use of technology (dangers that it brings), censorship of the people, and lastly, the secrecy of government control. All of these characteristics prove that fate is predetermined, and individuals cannot avoid the future. As we all know, ray bradbury, author of fahrenheit 451, made many predictions as to what this day and age would be like. He was right in many cases including speed, entertainment, and the mindlessness of people. He predicted that nobody would speak more than a couple of words at a time to a certain person. This makes the people seem mindless because they don"t talk or ask questions.
