Fahrenheit 451 vs. Handmaid tails

In both, Fahrenheit 451 and Handmaid tail, people are controlled by the government and both stories include the enjoyment of suicide, of killing in character's behavior and thinking.



In Fahrenheit 451 and Handmaid tails , the government imposes people a way of living. In 451, books are not allowed, because they talk about how it used to be in the past, how people used to have a free will, and they used to be able to chose their own way of being happy, nothing was being imposed. Also books are forbidden because it only has words that say nothing and make people sad. On top of that, they'd have to think about what the words say, such thing might hurt the government idea of controlling the world, and they'd loose control.

In both books, the female characters, those with a weaker personalities, have suicide behaviors. They have been totally manipulated. Mildred loves driving fast in the country  and enjoys the feeling of killing rabbits and dogs. On the other hand, in Handmaids tails, the female character loves the blood smell and also loves how blood flows down the floor. Either of them are being touched by the pain they are causing. The control of the society washed any kind of sentiment, their left with no feelings.

Money and education (freedom)

· When you enter this world, you don’t get to choose whether you are going to be part of a wealthy family or not.
· Some people don’t have the choice of having money or not, they either have it or not.
· There are some people who are able to work their way out and get a decent salary or scholarship to go to school, but even so, you still need to have something to give out. You even need luck to get through height school, and then go to college and then you could say you have a chance to either make money or not, but that is a long way to survive and have people helping you or not; if you are one of those who’s got nothing, who left from zero.
· Poor people usually tend to want to go to school. The first few years it’s free, up until 8th grade, so they are going, they are trying, they like it and they want to continue, but after that, no one cares if u can go further on into the game. What they care about, is, do you have the money to do that? And that is the problem, there are people who are probably capable of being an A student through out of college, but most of the time, they’ll never know because that’s why they are poor, they don’t have the money to do it, that is when they depend on others.
· Rich people or people, who can afford going to a higher education, don’t put much value into it. They already have the money, or their parents do, but either way, there are founds to support them and give them all they want. Basically what they do is to consume without producing anything.
· It is funny how those who can do something with their lives, they either don’t care or just take the chances for granted and those who don’t have a choice but to starve or live at a minimum financial situation, are sometimes fighting a whole life to get a decent way of living, not worrying about what they’re going to put on the table tomorrow.
· What I am trying to say, is that … I am not the materialist kind of person, but what I realized lately, is that you need the money, and as long as you have it, it’s ok, if you don’t have it, then it’s another game, you are living to make the money to be able to live. Once again, people who want to do something with their lives, most of the times, don’t have the money to do it. School costs, and that it’s not cheap, is unfair. On top of that, some governments don’t support any costs. Those who have no idea what they want, their families already have the money, so they don’t see the point of going to collage if they have all they want with no effort, just by asking. Sometimes they are the problem, and they are the ones who are pointing fingers and laugh at those who don’t have the financial situation but what to make a change, and they call them names because they actually have a will in life, but it’s not like that, not at all, probably most of those who are bullying around won’t have a future on their own and maybe, why not, at some point, they are going to depend on those who worked.
· Money is needed in life and education is necessary, so these two go hand in hand, but when u have one, you don’t really want the other one, but when you don’t have both, you fight until you get at least one, unless you please with little.
