I assume that many of you came to this post and just kept scrolling. I know, Fahrenheit 451, a lot of people hated it, some loved it, I have a little love and hate for it. Today I'm going to show you some similarities and differences between the two books. They are total different plots and characters, but to my surprise I did find a lot that was similar.
The whole point,, I think, to Fahrenheit 451 is breaking away from the norm and doing what you believe is right. The same is true for Eleanor and Park. In Fahrenheit 451, Montag is frusterated with the people. He doesn't understand the blunt uninterest that everyone has for everything important to him, but he also does not know quite what he's doing either. Either way, he's out of his comfort zone. In Eleanor and Park, Park and Eleanor are going out of their comfort zones. They are finding love in each others individuality and their pure longing for one another no matter what anybody thinks about them. This is how all three characters are similar. Sure, Montag is definitely more of a stick, while Eleanor and Park are moe causal about it, but I believe that if the author's writing style was not involved, they could all be friends, striving towards the same thing!
I've never read Eleanor and Park, and I've never heard of it, either. But Fahrenheit 451 to me was interesting, so reading something similar to this would be cool.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book.
