F451 & ME

Some connections that I've had so far with the reading and my life, are that society now is slowly becoming what is being described in the book. People aren't really having conversations anymore or listening like genuinely listening to others as they speak and it is more of a "oh really?" or "that's crazy" type of conversations. As was said in the book, we are always for the most part in crowded places filled with many people, yet we at times feel alone in that situation because we aren't really mentally there. Montag for the most part has thought that he is happy, yet Clarisse comes out of no where, starts up a genuine conversation with Montag, and now he wonders if he really is happy or if he is just faking it. This happens almost on a day to day basis with many people and I think that is the reason why society is just changing slowly but surely.
