![]() However, the effect of a smile on driving behavior has received less interest. The government is doing this to scare the people in the city, so they listen to the government and don’t break the rules.Research has reported that smiles facilitate social relationships. It’s a metaphor for the government controlling people’s free will and their choice to be different. His punishment was that he was sent to a Mental Institution, simply because they thought he was mental and crazy. This is like the government is trying to control the city so they can’t leave there homes and they have to stay focused on technology. The government control car arrested him because they think he is crazy and not like anyone else in the city. Mead would rather be outdoors instead of staying inside, because he did not like the all the technology. Mead got arrested as he was unlike other people in the city and he didn’t listen to the government’s rules and curfew. I believe that a robot could be driving the car because how far technology has advanced and how many jobs the government put out of work to somewhat “revolutionise” the world. I realise that there was no one driving the police car. When did you realise that there was no-one driving the police-car? Why is it that the identity of the voice in the car is kept anonymous? Who do you think is actually 'controlling' the car? It has to be read out to them from the TV.Ħ. This is telling us that everyone will be lazy and can’t even be bothered to pick up the newspaper and read it. This society has changed compared to today’s society. But instead they all get their information from the Television. If they wanted to read then they would do that online and read the news. ![]() This was trying to tell us that in the year 2053, nobody reads articles, or books or any sort of reading. What does this particular utterance reveal about the society in which the story is set? The voice from the police-car notes: "No profession" in response to the pedestrian's statement that he is a writer. The author Bradbury uses images of other times and places to help us understand the descriptions simpler.ĥ. They don’t talk much to their neighbours or other people, because everyone is inside of their house most of the time. The whole city is quiet and everybody keeps to themselves. The street lights are not the brightest lights and there is not many of them. It’s like a curfew no one wants to be caught out of their homes after a certain time. Life in the year 2053: Everyone stays inside at night time and no one is allowed out. How would you describe life in this city in the year 2053? Consider the narrative carefully and identify specific examples of Bradbury's use of language and stylistic features that have enabled you to reach your conclusion. ![]() Who knows what could happen at that time of the night? Even seeing a shadow in the glimmering light.Ĥ. As while you’re in a graveyard at midnight you are most likely going to hear something and get scared. Also hearing noises while you’re walking through the city almost pitch black at midnight. This is like a graveyard with candles giving very little light on the tombstones. This is like a graveyard, because he is walking through the city at night with not very little light from the streets. Bradbury describes Mead's walk as being ".not unequal to walking through a graveyard." In what ways is the city like a graveyard? As the street is all dark and his house is the only one lit up, probably is because he has his lights on in his house or because his Television is on.ģ. The reason why Mead’s house it brightly lit, because they are trying show intelligence. In my opinion I think it’s showing that Mead is a happy and joyful person because the light represents good. What does Mead's "brightly lit" house tell us about him? What evidence in the story as a whole supports this view? If it society is not dystopian it could be refer to communism.Ģ. This society is a dystopian society, because they are being controlled to what they can and can’t do. The people in the story are being oppressed and forced to stay in their home for certain hours of the day and night. ![]() But also he talks about the light, which I think the light is the good and the dark is evil. The atmosphere in the first few paragraphs are described as a gloomy, an overcast place where no one is on the streets and the streets are very silent where you can almost hear the whispers of the wind. How would you describe the atmosphere established in the opening paragraphs of the story?
