Why don’t the Jews listen to the warnings of the danger to come? What explains their ignorant optimism?

The jews don't listen because they have an optimistic arrogance to them. They believe that their god could not let anything happen to His 'Chosen People'. They know what is happening, but feel that they are insignificant enough to not be taken. Another reason is that they are silently hoping for the Red Army to have ended the war before they can be taken.

INTRO PARA

 Fahrenheit 451 is a tale about what happens when an overbearing government takes control of people’s lives, and the repercussions that follow. It shows how technology can take over our lives, how censorship can create an uneducated society, and how inaction can sometimes be the worst action of all.

Geo Questions

The struggle in Latin America for democratic governments has been a difficult one. Many nations that have come out of military rule were in economic ruin. Many of the countries denied free speech, free press, and many people were forced into poverty. Many countries under military rule face more starving, oppression, and and overall bad time. The most popular way of getting out this form of government is an old classic: revolution. Rebellions can last for many years, and sometimes, the new government is as bad (or worse) than the original. In most cases, they are better. Argentina is thriving under a democracy, as is Chile and Brazil. I believe, for the most part, that democracy has won for the time being.
