Censorship in Fahrenheit 451

Political Connection

America does not have a censorship that requires us to act a certain way or not post/talk about specific things.

Even though we have laws that explain right and wrong, that is not the same as this book's society.

People have always feared the government is listening in on our conversations and basically all forms of communication.

Historical Connection

North Korea is seen to have the most extreme censorship in the world.

With censorship, comes retaliation. This is depicted in the book through the various wars mentioned and the bombings.

Literary Conection

In Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms", it it known for his colorful language of cussing. This novel has been censored by replacing those cuss words simply with dashes!

"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a very popular example of censorship because that novel has been altered many times to remove the "n-word" and has been replaced with "slave" instead.

In Shakespeare, there are instance where words were changed around and the sexual components of Romeo and Juliet was nonexistent.

Quotables

"No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft." -H.G. Wells

"Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings." -Heinrich Heine

"Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime." -Potter Stewart

Science/Health Connection

Stem Cell research was censored and could not be continued in 2008. This protest went so far as to bring the first Amendment of the Constitution into question.

Climate change research has been censored and restricted at times due to the fact that the government does not want it to be fully public yet

Entertainment Connection

Any detainees residing in Guantanamo Bay is not allowed to bring back any art that has been created while being held.

A well-renowned oil painter in Maine had his 3 pieces removed from a gallery due to a wrongful conviction of sexual offenses from his past.

A university in Kansas was threatening to remove a student's art because it was deemed a "desecration of the flag"

Personal Connection

One of my schools made it a requirement that all tattoos be covered and gave a piercing requirement. This was because the school had an "image" to keep up with.

Jobs make you wear strict uniforms because they want us all to look the same.

Growing up, you censor what shows your children can watch because you believe they are too young to be watching/learning about that.

Text Support

"We must all be alike. Each man the image of every other; then they are all happy."

"Authors, full of evil thought, lock up your typewriters. They did."

"I'm antisocial, they say. I don't mix. It's so strange. I'm very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn't it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this."
