(FLIP – WEDNESDAY)

FIND YOUR NUMBER AND RESPOND#1 Happiness “We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren’t happy. Something’s missing.” How might Bradbury be defining happiness in Fahrenheit 451? Does he present a new idea of happiness or preserve an older idea?

#2 Knowledge “[Books] stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.” How do books draw together ideas and information so as to capture details that might otherwise be missed?

#3 Freedom of Thought “The televisor … tells you what to think and blasts it in.” Members of this world have “plenty off-hours” but do they have “time to think”? What kind of thinking do Faber and Bradbury prefer? Will it initially make life more difficult?

#4 Education “Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.” What kind of education is necessary to create citizens who recognize “quality of information,” take “leisure to digest it,” and “carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two?” How might this relate to our current educational system?
