Fahrenheit 451 Project

Details

Pick a technology or social trend described in Fahrenheit 451 and compare the way it is experienced in the novel to how we experience something similar today. In a 3-5 page paper, explain how your topic is similar to the situation in the novel and discuss its possible positive and negative impacts on our society.

Present your findings in an MLA style paper. Substantiate your research with at least three documented sources, none of which can be Wiki in nature.

You will be scored on the presentation of your paper (mechanics, formatting, usage), the quality of your sources (evidence of depth of research), and the degree in which you reflect and draw connections between the novel and current issues we face today.

You will also be graded on your participation with other students in a discussion board and peer review on your topic and paper on www.Turnitin.com. Create an account for your paper using the following information
