*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"?
There are very many situations in the world that relate to the novel. One of the main problems is people don’t know the reason why but just believes or relies on other people’s opinions, not thinking about their own thoughts. Especially, the government forces us to believe strongly in something that could be wrong, and people just follow the rule, not knowing the reason. Like North Korea, people are forced to believe in Kim Jung-il even though he doesn’t do anything good. He just wants to maintain his regime and if anyone criticizes him the person would be sentenced to death. Ultimately, people follow the rules, and the law continues through generation after generation, making people think it’s obvious. And if there is anyone who does shout out the truth eventually gets punished. Without freedom, people live in a world that is full of foul laws.
In Fahrenheit 451, people just follow the rules of the government not knowing why and eventually became natural, but Montag was different. He was determined to change the false world. If people get together and fight against their rights, there would be a day that the world can change.
