very biased. Some will say it was terrorist attack to attract more attention to their company, some say the drive must have been on drugs and few into the ocean so that the plane company will not get sued, or most will say it was a malfunction of the plane so the Malaysians don’t receive hatred for being “terrorists.” This relates closely to how Fahrenheit 451 altered their story.

There are several lessons to be learned from receiving news in Fahrenheit 451 and after MH730. Society should never believe one news source, or at least be very careful with what they hear, because it could cost them their safety. They can use a lot of trickery to make anything sound believable. As demonstrated in Fahrenheit 451, “See how the camera is coming in? Building the scene,” Granger explains to Montag while they watch his fake killing. They are messing with people’s heads and building suspension by using different camera angles and making people more intrigued. Both events got their news to two completely unreliable ways. These are two examples of how exposure of news change people’s lives.

People received their news after the killing of Montag in Fahrenheit 451 and after the flight of MH730 went missing similarly. Through both events, people receive and believe false information. Fahrenheit 451 by was a book with a wicked society written by Ray Bradbury. Montag was a murder on the loose but society thought they were safe because how their news was brought to them. Even today, hundreds of conspiracies will be found surrounding the missing flight of MH730. News can be extremely deceptive and it is very important to watch what they believe.
