Tv vs Reading: Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 :: Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451
If you admit that itââ¬â¢s easier to watch television/ movies then what is the difference between you and Mildred? à à à à à I definitely think that it is much easier to watch television and movies then it is to read books. When you watch TV and movies, the characters actually act out their roles instead of you having to make it up yourself, which is harder than just watching it. I am a lot different from Mildred though. She doesnââ¬â¢t even know if it would be easier to read books or watch TV because she doesnââ¬â¢t read them because they are forbidden of course. If anyone is caught with books in their house, their house is burnt down to a crisp. She is afraid of even picking up a book. I guess that you can say that Mildred is ââ¬Å"obsessedâ⬠with watching television and movies. I feel that she feels like she absolutely has to watch it to survive. At least that is what she makes me think when I read this book. I think that it is not only odd that she thinks of the people on television as family, but I also think that it is crazy. When I first read that she thought that that about those people and did call them family, I literally thought that there was something wrong with herâ⬠¦mentally. Donââ¬â¢t get me wrongâ⬠¦I love to watch TV and movies, but I would never in a million years consider anyone on there my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. That is just one big difference between Mildred and I. I really donââ¬â¢t know of any normal person who acts like her. Like I said, television and movies are very easy to watch and there is not much thinking that you have to do because you can almost say that the thinking, in a sense, is done for you. It is easier to see something visually than have to visualize it for yourself. When you read a book, you have to concentrate on who is speaking, but on television and movies you donââ¬â¢t have to because the people in the TV/movie act out their own parts. Another big difference between Mildred and I is that first of all I read a lot of books and even though I think that watching television and movies is much more easier, I would much rather read a book. I am the type of person who doesnââ¬â¢t like things given to me, but I like to figure them out on my own.
