1000803 The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy book report-Michael
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a unique book, but the author, Douglas Adams writes too much nonsense in it which makes the book a little boring. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a science fiction comedy, so naturally the author wrote a lot of jokes in it. Some of them are funny, some are loony and some of them are hard to catch. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy starts with the main character, Arthur Dent waking up in his house and finding out that his house is going to be demolished. The story follows his journey. A lot the funny jokes in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy involve Arthur in a battle with government power, so many of the comic moments exaggerates government errors.
When Arthur Dent wakes up in his house only to find a lot of bulldozers outside , he realizes that the workers standing were going to demolish his house. They tell him they want to make way for a new bypass. In real life the government can take your house if it needs to build a road, a building or something that can “make our life to better”, but the government needs to pay money or give you a new house of the same value as the old house. Otherwise, they can’t really blow up your house. In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy the workers blow up Arthur’s house without his permission, just because they wanted to build a way for the bypass. This seems funny and extreme, yet the fact that it has been some people’s experience being kicked out with no concern for their welfare makes it even more clear the author is trying to attack the government whims.
Another funny part involved the Vogons. Vogons are a bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous alien race. They want to build a hyperspatial express route through Earth so they decide to demolish Earth. Again this happens without any announcement to Earthlings, and they plan to destroy the whole planet in two minutes. In case we missed the point the first time government can’t be such selfish for their own benefits. The author is again pointing out that. He makes fun of the fact that the government oftten doesn’t listen to what people are going to say and that it often takes advantage of people who don’t know how to protect their rights.
The Vogons catch Arthur Dent and his friend Ford Perfect before they blow up Earth. Then they are tying Arthur and Ford up, they ask if the poem the Vogon wrote was great. The Vogons soon realized that Arthur is lying to them about being a poet so they decide to throw Arthur and Ford out to the vacuum space. This was not humane; the Vogons do not care about Arthur and Ford human rights. In the real world, some government official are just like the Vogons. They don’t care about what people want; all they care about is money and power. The way that Arthur and Ford are treated is just like the government officials who abuse humanity’s rights: tying people up and upon finding they are useless, kicking them out.
Another part that makes fun of the government is the part where Zaphod Beeblebrox steals the spaceship. Zaphod Beeblbrox is Ford’s semicousin who is also the president of the galaxy. Zaphod used his power to steal a spaceship called the Heart of Gold”. This is ironic because Heart of Goldmeans a person who is selfless and would do anything for others, yet he uses the ship to search for a legendary planet of Margrathea to satisfy his own desire. Government officials such as president should not use their own powers to do illegal things such as money laundering and stealing things; however, this still happens a lot. I think The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is making fun of the government officials for doing these illegal things.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a crazy book. The author, Douglas Adams, has a talented imagination, so he writes so many different scenes in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Not only is the book humororous, it also makes many valid critiques of government and society. such an interesting book.
