Parlor Poetry

In the scene where Montag reads, " Dover Beach," if I were in that position I probably would've read, "The Laughing Heart," because this poem express freedom and individuality. Where in the setting of the book this concept doesn't really exist anymore, everything is about technology and everyone follows the same life style. The Laughing Heart really connected with me because it expresses that you shouldn't try to blend in with the crowd, and that everyone of us is different and marvelous in out own way. For the women in the parlor, it didn't seem like they had a sense of freedom, and any spark in their  life, its like they were empty inside. Like in "Moment for Life" by Niki Minaj, she says, " Just because your living doesn't mean your alive."
