Fahrenheit 451: Entry 2


--Are there are 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"?

Fahrenheit 451 resembles some people and some government in the world. For example, the government of North Korea restricts people’s freedom. They cannot hear correct news and they cannot practice religion. They do what the government tells them to do. Also, the government showed in Fahrenheit 451, people follow the government’s order and they cannot keep and read the books. That is one thing that the book is related to a current situation.
Consider missionaries for other example, they go abroad to evangelize. They go to countries in the Middle Asia and Africa to inform people the existence almighty God and his works. Some government in the Middle Asia and Africa prohibit believing God, so missionaries evangelize secretly. They are like people who keep and reads book in the novel. They, too, spread out the books secretly. Therefore, The novel and some current events are similar in many ways since it shows some compellability in the world
