Argument: Ray Bradbury's novels are written to prevent the fallings of society Claim: After the atomic coming during world war II, Bradbury sought to write about how to redirect the course of technology in order to prevent the possible negative consequences society might endure. Evidence: "The colonization of Mars, like the colonization of the Americas by Europeans, is characterized by greed and ignorance, fear of the natives, exploitation of the new world, and acts of genocide" (Harlow). "The romantic notion of the power of the imagination to reinvent ourselves, to make the world over and to place ourselves in history,in time, in the comos, is explored by Bradbury..."(Harlow). "...a pivotal work which has influenced the course of literature and the thinking of scientists and of ordinary citizens who face the task... of advancing human nature and values into an age of which atomic warfare and space travel have become part of the human experience" (harlow).

Argument: Novels can be classifies as dystopian if it contains certain factors that reveal language and discourse as a fundamental device of power. Claim: The society portrayed in Fahrenheit 451, shows that ignorance is shared amongst all the people in order to make sure that happiness is attainable for all. The use of language and power and discourse portrays the society's flaws and the need for change. In addition, the difference of power and language between each character displays the need to rebel against society Evidence: "The government of this society has perverted the meaning of happiness into basic hedonism so that happiness is attainable for anyone who is willing to buy into the array of commercial products" (valentine). "...discourse on commercial happiness feeds into the narcissism of people by depriving them of emotions and awareness beyond their own needs"(Valentine).
