.... whom she loves, Sydney refuses to give up his love for her. For someone in his mid-forties, this is somewhat an immature action. Had he been more mature, he might have forgotten about Lucie when she was married and found someone else. Another perhaps less important but very noticeable example is his appearance. He didn't seem to care what people really thought about him or the way he was dressed, and remained very calm and relaxed, maybe even carefree, most of the time he was in court. This also gives Sydney Carton an immature appearance in the novel. At the beginning of the story and a large part of the novel, Sydney Carton is shown to be a .....

.... be what it is if it wasn’t for all the significant authors who have taught us so much about our lives. The idea of banning a book now is just very absurd and unheard of anymore. Second of all it would be nearly impossible to ban books because how liberal free speech has become and is becoming. Another idea that is very wrong is the idea of intellectual and scholars being the criminals and the outcasts. Another difference that is rather large is the emphasis that Bradbury puts on the wall screen, three wall television type devices. Probably the biggest difference and the strangest is how Guy’s wife Mildred and the rest o f the country related to them as thei .....
