451

Having read most of 451 now, I find it much more interesting than Brave New World. I feel that it more of a realistic book that actually has a plot that can be followed rather easily. I also find it interesting how the ways of the society in which Montag lives are presented to the reader. For example, late in section two the narrator describes Montag stopping at the bank, to get the money for the printer, which is oppened all the time with robot tellers working. This shows thourgh the context of the plot that their banks are differnt than ours and that they as a society have evolved their mentality of what are appropriate hours to bank. The people of this future society have made it the most convenient to bank and the author has showed this in a way that is not blatant to the reader as being a fact of that society. Throughout this book there are examples of this and by having these facts and descriptions of the soceity intertwined with the plot it allows the story to flow and evolve easier than I believe the story did in Brave New World. By the way what class would Faber be? He's smart but has cowardice.
