Englisch zum korregieren

Ich bin mir bewusst, dass mein Englisch noch sehr löchrig ist und ich mich nicht selten verzettelt.
Hab das Englisch geschriebene bereits jemandem vorgelegt und der meinte, dass es sehr viele Fehler enthält.

Ich weiss es ist wohl zuviel verlangt, aber ich wäre eigentlich schon sehr froh, dass jemand den Text (muss ja nicht der komplette sein) durchliest und mir die Fehler anstreicht, damit ich genau sehe, was ich ändern muss.


1.
Discuss the gradual development of Montag throughout the plot. Compare and contrast him to Beatty.
Montag’s development: At first he is persuade firemen, which task is to burn books and in the end he is a strict opponent of this system.
In the course of the story Montag becomes stronger and so he is able to change his life.
For this change he needs several persons:
- Through his friendship with Clarisse McClellan, Montag comes to realize that he is not in love with his wife and doesn’t really happy
- Mildred tries to commit suicide. This shows Montag that the world isn’t so harmony as he thought and he hasn’t really a close relationship with Milrdred.
- Montag is unable to forget the image of the old woman, and wonders what in books could her inspire so much, that she prefers to die than to live without books. You can see how his dissatisfaction increases.
- His hunger for humanistic knowledge brings him to Professor Faber, an educated person who can help him to understand books.
- Unable to oppress his contempt any longer, Montag kills Chief Beatty. After he discusses the situation with Faber he flies from the police and cross the river.
- Montag`s old life is destroyed and he is re-born when he reaches the other side of the river.
- When Montag sits around the fire with the book people and talking to them he gains a sense of warmth. He also becomes hope for a better future.

Contrary to Monday he doesn’t make a personal development, he is and stays the leader of the totalitarian system until his death.

2. Make a list of the people in the novel who contribute to Montag`s growing self-awareness and explain what they teach him.
Clarisse: She teaches Montag, that the actual task from firemen is to put out fire and not to set fire. She also confront him with the question if he is happy
Old woman: He doesn’t teach Montag directly, despite she has an influence on him, because she evokes his interest in books. He wants to know why a person prefers to die as to destroy their books.
Faber: He teaches Montag to understand books and he explains him that books represent people’s thoughts and views
Granger: He teaches him that fire it isn’t only here to destroy things. Fire can also give a warm feeling.

3. Explain the relationship of the title of the book to its meaning.
Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which book-paper catches fire and burns.

4. Explain some of the futuristic (fantastic) technological advances seen in the novel.
Mechanical Hound
He can be programmed to detect people by following their smell, injects morphine. The hound represents government control and manipulation of technology.
Television walls and seashell radios
This gadget allows the people to escape from reality. Thus the people doesn’t confront with the much problems, that exist in their world.
Leider finde ich die Textstelle nicht mehr, aber es wurde doch ein Gerät eingesetzt als Mildred einen Selbstmordversuch unternahm

5. Describe Mildred and contrast her to Montag and Clarisse.
She fits into the system very well, in my opinion she is a model citizen of this system. She is only interested in money and material possession and represents shallowness and mediocrity. She also obeys the government question.
She is totally immersed in a dream electronic world. He has no interesting for Montag and other people, her family is the TV wall and during her sleeptime the seashell radio. She is unable to have a profound conversation with other people.
Mildred Clarisse
Thos two persons are the obvious opposite.
To one extreme you have Clarisse, who is a free thinker, which in this society, will lead to her demise. She is also young and innocent. On the opposite extreme you have Mildred, who is addicted to the empty, vicarious existence offered by the shallow popular culture pumped in through the TV walls.
Mildred is the classic example of an ordinary citizen in contrast Clarisse refuses the entertainment that society offers and prefers to enjoy the outdoors and conversations with her family and she also represents humanism and the integrity.
Mildred Montag
Between the extreme of Milrdred and Clarisse is Montag.
During Mildred accepts the situation, Monday opposes to the system. He develops to a rebel.
Monday pursues a goal, during that Mildred lives without thinking.

6. What does the old lady represent to Montag and how does she affect him?
She represents to Montag the important of books, because she can’t live without books. Montag is unable to forget the image of the old woman, and wonders what in books could possibly inspire so much passion.

7. Is Beatty hypocritical? Fully explain your answer.
Momentan tu ich mich mit dieser Frage sehr schwer, kann mir jemand einen Ansatz dazu geben?

8. What do you consider to be the most important theme of the novel? Why? How is it developed?
In my opinion the main theme in the novel is the emptiness of modern mass culture
People are kept from thinking by the prohibition of books and stupid TV programmes. Nobody is interested in problems of others and can expect that others understand his problems. Interhuman relations does not exist
Bradbury also share this opinion with me, the he warns of the consequences of excessive consumption and superficial entertainment. And of the loss of human proximity) and genuine feelings (echten Gefühlen) and refers to the dangers of cultural flattening by materialistic thinking and acting
