To
Whom it May Concern,
You’re
100% right, Captain Beatty is a shifty fellow and his vast knowledge of
literature and books is suspicious. I seems like he has enough power to break
the law and get away with it so I think that Captain Beatty might have a
personal library of his own that he is hiding. One of the most interesting
things about Beatty is his logical description of how books became illegal in
the first place. Beatty tells Guy that the reason books were banned was because
people began to get offended by ideas that conflicted with their own so they
wanted to get rid of those “offensive” books. This partial censorship lead to total
censorship and the outlawing of all literature. I find this particular
discussion really interesting because I feel like something similar to this
could eventually happen in our world if society continues to prioritize being “politically
correct” in all circumstances. Captain Beatty and Milly’s eventual betrayal of
Guy isn’t surprising at all but I was pleasantly surprised by Guy’s reaction. Even though he talks like he wants to rebel
and make a difference in society I never actually believed he would be brave
enough to actually do it. When he decided to run away from the fire and leave
his old life behind, I was really proud of him. The Hound really freaks me out
and I’m glad there is nothing like it that exists in our society today. Because
of how technologically advanced the Hound is, I think Guy is going to have a really
difficult time running away without getting caught. His house has been burnt to the ground, his
wife betrayed him, his boss is trying to kill him, and this super scary death
machine is trying to kill him, so life is not looking so good for Guy right
now. What do you think Guy will do next? Do you think he will find Clarisse on
his search for safety?
