Q 7. Fehrenheit 451

7＊Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?

I am definitely hoping that there aren’t any current similar situations in the world, but unfortunately, there are few. In the novel, the government restricts the people from freedom. Also in North Korea, the government is very similar. In fact, it is pretty much the same in my point of view. North Korean government brainwashes the young people that Kim-Jung IL is a great comrade, that they should ever respect them. In the outside world, I guess that just makes us laugh or feel pity for them, because the government is too corrupted by Kim-Jung IL. To solve this problem, it’s the matter of people’s strong will for freedom. The lives under the government and society that oppresses them will be not resolved or fixed unless they TRY it together with courage.
