prompt 4


 Mildred idea of  dystopian society would boring just watching the walls and staying to herself because she doesn't really have  a caring attitude.My idea of utopian society would everyone treated the same and would be peaceful.

Prompt #4

Professor's Faber idea of a Utopian society would be freely reading and creating books. Also, people enjoying learning and coming up with ideas to make the world a better place. "The magic is only in what the books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us." This quote shows that books are crucial for the survival of the world. My idea of a Utopian society is world peace, people motivated to learn and more science advances.

Utopian vs. Dystopian

Beatty has a very dark personality. He hates books because of the fact that they make people frustrated. When people are frustrated, it leads to other derogatory, sometimes permanent problems.  A quote to support this claim can be found on page 65 when Beatty said, “The important thing to remember, Montag, is we’re the Happiness Boys, the Dixie Duo, you and I and the others. We stand against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought. Don’t let the torrent of melancholy and drear philosophy drown our world.” This quote explains a lot about Beatty’s character. It shows his character as a person, his thoughts on the world as of now, and the reason for the world in the future to collapse on itself. He does not believe in books. In fact as the quote claims, Beatty hates books because in make people unhappy. He wants the world to be a good place. This means no books, no conflict, and no war. He thinks with these problems out of existence, people could start focusing on the only think that matters in life; the purpose in life: Instant pleasure. Finding you passion. Beatty’s passion was burning books. He hated books; so burning them gave him pleasure because it is one less book on this earth that could inherently end up in the hands of another unfortunate person. Beatty is concerned about the problems in the world, but he is focused on the solutions to these problems. Of course he is a little self -absorbed and claims the solution to books taking over the world realize in the hand of the fire fighters; realize in the hands of himself.  He is superman, in his world.


My Idea of a utopian society quiet honestly would look the exact same as life we are living now. See, God has a plan for everything. This means everything that happens in the world is part of his master plan for the future. Since I trust in God, I wouldn’t change anything. I’m not God; I don’t know what would happen if I changed something to the world. But if I were not to have this unconditional love for God, I would say my idea of a utopian society would look extremely happy and peaceful. My idea involves Bright colors, no conflicts, no problems, and no reason to get angry. In this society, Everyone’s problems are solved for him or her. Because of this, people have nothing to worry about. If no one were to worry about anything, people could put all their focus on God, the only important thing to remember in this confusing world. Everyone would wake up smiling; thinking to themselves “today is going to be a good day”. They would also get to bed with this same thought in mind.  God provides for everyone. However, sometimes he helps you in the most obscure ways. People in this society would do everything they can to help others, putting themselves last. People would also go to bed with this same out look on life because nothing can hurt you without your consent. There is nothing to worry about. Worrying is defined (by me) as “concerning of the future”. The future has not happened yet! With that being said, don’t worry, your never alone. There is always someone who loves you no matter how alone you may seem. This is a confusing world we live in. Build the life you want to live. Don’t let someone drag you by an imaginary chain around your neck. Everyone is important to this world.
