Answer:
Farenheit 451 is set in the 24th century in a country where no one reads books anymore because life has to be lived quickly. There is no more time for reading. The ideas in books are seen as defamatory and books are therefore burned the moment they are discovered.
Guy Montag works as a fireman, which at the time meant that he burned books. He likes his job and sees the kerosene smell that surrounds him as a kind of perfume. When he comes home after work, he feels lonely. His wife Mildred wants to be entertained 24 hours a day and therefore has a small radio permanently in her ear and the three TVs in the apartment are also on all day.
<span>There is some parallel between Sissy’s story and Dickens’ own. When he was 12 years old, Dickens was sent to work at Warren’s Blacking Factory (Coketown, come on) after his father was imprisoned for debt. Claire Tomalin asserts in her superb recent biography about Dickens that, when he was rescued by his parents neither he nor they uttered a single word about it to one another. So I suspect that Dickens was strongly attached to Sissy in a very personal way. And for me, a world without Sissy Jupe would be a world without Dickens.</span>
