Pushing Past Obstacles by Dallas Anderson

Look at the face of the boy--depressed; blank; uninterested. He has no worries, yet there is no look of hope or joy in his face. The people in Fahrenheit 451 are like this little boy. Their minds don't function properly; their actions are robotic and repetitive. They are obsessed with watching their "walls" that they don't have any idea of what is going on around them. In our lives, we also face the "walls" of distraction. If this boy pushed hard enough, he could get around the temptation of the television. If we can relate ourselves to this boy, we can push ourselves past any obstacle.
