Themes in Fahrenheit 451




Examples research questions:
1.  What causes censorship in modern American news media?
    Questions to generate ideas:
        Does modern American media work like it does in Fahrenheit 451?
        Does the news media seek to inform or entertain with spectacle?
        Is there a lot of incidental censorship?  (I.E. exclusion because the story
        is not entertaining enough?)
        What do other countries report on that American media does not?

2.  To what extent does our society make quality (“true to life”) information available to the masses, time to absorb it and think about it, and freedom to act upon it?

3.  Is censorship in America's media complex due to the popular taste (which prefers spectacle over difficult) and minority interests Bradbury warns against in  Fahrenheit 451?

4.  How accurate was Bradbury's picture of the future?  Are we sick with the distraction of short-term spectacle and beaten into submission by ubiquitous marketing?  And, as a result of this never-ending drive to consume/buy material things, do we suffer from existential vacuums?

5.  Does “South Park” feature “true-to-life” detail, the kind of detail that Faber says makes something worth-while and literary?  Or is “South Park” simply another sensationalist distraction designed only to
entertain?
