Answer: The people portrayed in Fahrenheit 451 have been so brainwashed and filled with propaganda that they will believe anything as long as they are convinced properly. All they care for is their own happiness and pleasure, and they fulfill this to the point of callousness towards others. If they run over someone, to them it’s just another thing to laugh at. With a totalitarian government, they don’t have to worry about the stress of government or war or such things, and the leaders are allowed to choose what they tell their citizens to keep them happy and ignorant. If the citizens knew too much, they could form an uprising and demand equality, which would break the governments happy, mindless nation.

Prions are a type of defective proteins, that can cause normal proteins to turn into defective, infectious ones: prion, word that comes from the term "proteinaceous infectious particle"; prions can cause neurodegenerative diseases. Unfortunately, even after scientists identified prions as the causal agents of the "mad cow" disease and others like the "kuru" (discovered in New Guinea, amongst a tribe that practiced cannibalism) and the "scrapie", the authorities tried to hide the epidemic, they took too long to ban the feeding of animals with mixes that included proteins from infected animals, so if authorities had implemented more actions since at least 1993 perhaps the epidemic could have been controlled earlier, instead of almost 25 years after the disease was identified.
In this sense, the author takes us step by step in the process (over time) and illustrates how people got frustrated because of the reaction of the government: nothing was done about the disease until over ten years after its discovery.
Im also doing credit recovery.. it sucks
The two lines in this excerpt tht reflect those themes are:
"To make us wish that we were in his place.
"
This line explains perfecty the mentality of “the grass is greener on the other side”. Because its explicitly saying "we" are wishing to be in someone else place, meaning people are never satisfied with their own situation; they always think others have it better.
"Went home and put a bullet through his head."
This phrase makes reference to the theme of dissatisfaction.
