PROMPT
In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 we have read about one possible scenario for the
future. No one really knows how things will be in the future, but at one time or another we all
think about it. What is your vision of the future? What do you think our world will be like 50
years from now?

  • Your assignment is to describe our world as you believe it will be 50 years from now.
  • Start your response (1st paragraph) with a few examples of what Bradbury's world looks like. Then (2nd paragraph) explain your prediction and why it will look like that.

Please keep to short quotes (  "...example of using short quotes instead of long one..."  ) and don't forget to cite!    (Bradbury 24).  Paragraphs (8-10 well-developed sentences!!) should be detailed and specific.
