In a study where people are isolated alone in a pitch black room for 72 hours, they all fail because as humans we need human interaction. It’s not healthy to do everything alone because your mental health starts to suffer by feeling trapped by yourself.
ReplyDeleteTo connect to the discussion, Human interaction is a huge need in a human life. Connecting to Jack with how someone would go crazy if they were trapped by themselves on an island. From several studies, having human interaction effects the human nature. It allows someone to be able to share their feelings and thoughts rather than just holding it in.
ReplyDeleteKnowledge is very important to grow as a society. A lot of knowledge is transferred through human interaction. Such as school, and just asking questions and talking with people. When that starts to not be as common, there is less information being transferred and I think that that is what happened to the society in the book. This, is making everyone want to be more on screens, and less than talking to each other.
ReplyDeleteWhat can this book teach us about the effects of loneliness/not being truly loved? -Sarah. When someone is giving fake love, they get used to the thought that, that kind of love is real love. They get used to being treated like that so they think it's normal. The book shows us the outcome of that "fake" love, and loneliness because they think it is normal. Would the book work out differently if Clarisse stayed or was still alive? Would Montag ask her for help? Would she help him even though they both have a different perspective?
ReplyDeleteTo share my insights, Isolation is a huge factor in the society. Going back to what Jaden said, Montag has the will and drive, but he doesn't have the resources he needs due to the society. Montag is stuck in a society where he doesn't fit in so he feels lonely and isolated. The root of the problem in the way people feel in this society, it's almost like a game to them and people don't feel the need to live. WIth Montag's case he wants to live, and to feel, but the way how everyone feels in the society affects who he can rely on.
ReplyDeleteI think that we need human interaction because we need to be able to express our feelings. In the movie Cast Away, Tom Hanks' character draws a face onto a volleyball as a way to make It feel more human. He even gives it the name Wilson. Throughout the movie he often talks to Wilson about his emotions. Some people talk to their pets when they don't have human interaction.
ReplyDeleteIf no one is afraid of death yet they turn on each other then why do people assume that its ok to turn on each other when they might lose something too, like when montag reveals to Mildred that hes been hiding over 20+ books it shows that montag has and always will be different even after Clarisse opened his mind more
ReplyDeleteI think the society in the book are given all of these cool gadgets of technology to distract them from what’s really missing like core values. Love and connections with other people. They have fake love like social media love.
