F451 and Me
Three things about F451 that I can relate to my life is stress, happiness, and technology. We all have this three things in this times 2018. Me as well as the others I have this three things in my life. I am really impressed mostly by how technology has impacted everyone's life and how it has turn into a big deal in our lives.
For example happiness should be a very important thing in our lives if we can't be happy nothing around us is positive. We can't spread positivity around us is because there's something going on in our lives. We can see the beauty of someone's heart through a smile, their happiness, the purity of the stare of their eyes. when someone is unhappy we cant appreciate any of this things. For example in my live I've had my ups and downs with people but I don't let that take my happiness away, I always try to be positive and don't let anything bring me down.
When my dad passed away depression took a big role in my life. There was times that I wouldn't get out of my room and didn't feel like doing anything. Honestly it took me a lot of work and metal strength to get out of it. But after all it was word the effort because now I can say that I'm a more stronger person that what I was before. A lot of people suffer from depression because they feel alone and that no one cares about them.
Technology, has not just impacted my life but of others too. Today 2018 there's so many new technology advancements, that have been beneficial to the world and human lives. But also theirs been downs of it people have become so addicted to it that there has been less communication between families and friends.

The Right to Read
Should we really outlaw reading? No reading shouldn't be outlawed just because someone doesn't likes reading who can call ignorant, because reading has many benefits for everyone. For example, reading is way for many people to spend their free time or take their stress away. Reading is very good for the brain since it helps you develop more vocabulary, and understanding. Also their's people on our world who are blind and def, who are only able to go and identify things by Brialle which is a system of dots that are used by blind people. Reading has so many beneficial things to this world we can learn so much out of it that if it where to be outlawed it would be tragic to the world.
F451 Summary part 1
What we've read so far from the book F451 is that basically Montag is the one of the main characters who is married to a woman named Millie, who don't have a happy love life. One day Montag meets this girl named Clarisse. Montag is a firefighter who instead of putting off fires he puts them on. So far what we know so far is that Clarisse is a very happy girl who has a great impact in Montag's life. The name Fahrenheit 451 is the tittle of the book because that's the temperature on which books burn at.
The relationship between Montag and his wife Millie, is not great we can say that is horrible. They as a couple have very little communication or we can say that they don't have any. his wife Millie always has earphones on and is always watching tv rather than sitting down to talk to her husband. Montag describes his home as a tomb because its cold and dark and you can't feel any type of vive in there.
In the other hand Clarisse is a very happy girl who likes to communicate with others. Out of the whole block on where she lives her family is the only ones who have lights turned on during the nights on the living room where they sit to talk and spend time together. When Montag meets her he finds her weird since she is very happy, but little did he know that she was going to have a great impact in his life. She made him think about how unhappy his life is and how he is not even happy with himself.

Breaking the Law
It’s wrong to break the law when you know that the action your doing it’s wrong ,but you still decide to do it. That would be a wrong thing to do because for a reason there’s laws to stop us from doing wrong actions that might affect others. There’s times when it’s right to break the law when there’s something unfair going on that we know it’s not wrong like the law sees it.

Story of my Life
One day I was walking with my friends to our house, when out of nowhere this guy runs across us and we just heard the security outside of gate scream to us to come back in because there was a guy running away from the police. We ran back and we saw how the police arrested the guy who had a pocket knife in possession. At this point I was really tripping out because the guy literally passed in front of me and I know he could of done something or grab someone to use as his defense. It was weird how this just happened in a matter of seconds on a normal day, were I'm normally doing the same things, like walking home with my friends.

Quotes
The quote “ rather than love, than money , than fame, give me truth” for me this quote mean that before any other those things I rather have truth. I wouldn’t like someone coming to me and lying to me saying they love and care when they really don’t and all they trying to do is make me think they care just for me to be there for them. This quote for me falls into society.
Another quote is “ the price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it” this quote takes a important role for me since I’ve been through an experience that thaught me many things. For example we shouldn’t always try to do everything to try to be good with someone if that someone is not putting the same amount of effort to be with you. This quote also for me falls into society.
This quote “is not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.”Badicaly this quote means that the way someone dresses or looks like it’s what defines them as a person, because someone can look like a bad person Thad always doing bad things but once you get to know that’s when you see what that person truly is. This quote also falls into society.

What’s next for me ?
Through out this course what I’ve learned so far is that we all have a very important role in life that no one should be trying to quiet us. For example, we read an essay called Self-reliance which basically talks about how no one has the right to pick our future but ourselves. Also, no one becomes what others tells me them to be, because in real life no one knows exactly what the other person is going to be. Like honestly not even we know how our future is going to be it’s all going to depend on how we decide to make our way through life. What’s next for me in life is try to reach all my goals and dreams and don’t let anyoone stop from accomplishing them.Also I, need to get myself to start posting more on my blog!!
