May 17, 1980, was a quiet day in Silver Lake, Washington. If you had been there, you probably would have seen Mount St. Helens,

one of the state’s famous mountains. The mountain looked like a cone capped with snow. It rose from a valley of deep green trees and bright blue lakes. Mount St. Helens is volcanic. Scientists were watching the mountain carefully that spring. For two months, they recorded small earthquakes near the mountain. Steam spewed from its top. And yet, from a distance, the mountain looked picture-perfect. On May 18, 1980, an earthquake shook the mountain. The mountain’s white dome collapsed. Rocks and snow tore down the mountainside. The volcano erupted. A giant mushroom-shaped cloud of ash and steam rose into the sky. A river of hot lava flowed down the mountain, scorching acres of wildlife. Mudflows, made up of melted snow and debris, buried plants and trees. In some places, the mudflows were over 300 feet deep!

PLEASE HELP - from book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Formulate a thesis for the following prompt: What is Bradbury's message?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Bradbury wrote this essential dystopian novel describing what would be the main threat to the future of culture: in the future censorship will reach the status of unnecessary if we can make no one bother to inquire, to worry about challenging their thoughts. In opening a book.

For many, this text is correct as a predictor of the contradictions of the modern era: in times in which the social mass is so plural, the media are more careful than ever to transmit messages that do not offend anyone, so they bet on a lowest common denominator that ends up suppressing the plurality of ideas and the development of knowledge. A radically anti-intellectual culture.

He wants the reader to be able to perceive this and not let technology consume it entirely. That he inquires and questions things.

Find some examples of discrimination in the book "The catcher in the rye" and state the text
Westkost [7]

Explanation:

Helen Frangedis is a high school teacher that always includes The Catcher in the Rye in her course syllabus for the year. Parents are always concerned about the book because of the profanity, drug and alcohol references, and “loose moral codes”. When presented with these concerns, Frangedis states that there is a deeper meaning in the book and the students have the challenge of finding it. She addresses her audience of parents with good reasons of reading and analyzing the book, while understanding their concerns.

Frangedis’s article focuses entirely on J. D. Salenger’s writing style. Salenger greatly exaggerates Holden, his issues, and society throughout the book and that leads to all of the profanity and drug/alcohol references. With his writing style, people began to notice, read, and criticize “The Catcher in the Rye,” all because of one reason; Salenger’s exaggerating writing style. Society always pays attention to the bigger, more exaggerated, stunning news. For example, people will pay more attention to the semi-truck that flipped over than the car that hit a pole. The reason is simple. Watching the truck flip over is more stunning and impressive than a car hit something. The same goes for “The Catcher in the Rye”. People will read a book that is full of drugs, cursing, and drinking over the book that is nice, short, and sweet. Knowing who society is and how it works, Salenger wrote a book that not only goes against society, but separates him from all other authors.
