Modern Writing (today)

I feel like writing now compared to five years ago is filled with a lot of slange and different means of expression with your words chosen. Five years ago writing wasn't too much different than how it is today but it definitely has outdated frases that we may not use as much today. I would say yes, even though it has only been five years, what inspires me and what the world has giving me to express myself has changes a lot.   

MY MODERNIST

I have chosen George Orwell, he was an amazing story teller. I had never really harmed much about him( Only His Writing) so I am very interested in knowing about his life and him and him as a person.

Well I did some research on why Bradbury used "dover beach" this page was very insightful!

Dover Beach explanation  

in that page this line pretty much sums up why Dover Beach was chosen. "The poem Dover Beach can be compared to Fahrenheit 451 because both pieces of writing talk about themes of true love, fantasy and allover hopelessness." 
 If had to choose a poem for this part in the novel it would "Tryin on cloths" by Shell Silverstein. I relate it to this novel because this poem is about finding peace and becoming one with nature, I feel like saying these kind of ideas to the people in Fahrenheit 451would cause a lot of controversy and thought which is exactly what Montag was trying to do when he was reciting poetry.

TO MODERN OR POSTMODERN

I guess I need to read this more but this is what I have got so far.  Start thinking about this quote 

I got that the writers of today are becoming limited to their full creativity, and that they find it easier and more acceptable to tell about what is wrong with our world and hope that you see the problems and YOU fix them. They're like those kids in class that would always point out a mess in the class room but never cleaned it up. I also felt like he pointed out to the read that there is always some sort of stimulation the brain craves but is inevitably unreachable.
