Fahrenheit 451 Question #5

What is the mood of this novel? Do you find this novel saddens you in any way? Why?

The mood of this novel is complicated compared to many other novels because the characters each have a different mood. Also, at the start the story is just happening with no actions but later it is just action packed. At first I felt that this story would be a very scary novel instead I got a novel that was thinking about the issues we have in our society right now. Overall, the mood of this novel is alarming because of the effect that television gave to the normal people. I found that this novel saddened me by showing what can happen if we’re too focused on the media as well as relaxation. In addition, this showed that the human race is vulnerable to other people’s wills such as the governments. Then after awhile this book made me think about what can happen to me at the rate I’m watching TV and surfing the Internet. Furthermore, this novel saddens me especially because people are not noticing what’s happening around them. This shows how ignorant the human race has become from the comforts of life that are always offered. The novel saddens me because to think that the human race has lost grip on truth and the amount of knowledge we can gain from reading books. I have to say that when we are watching TV we are not thinking about anything and just waiting for what’s going to happen next. I felt that this causes our brains to think less which saddened me more because I had done much of the same things when I was young.
