Farenheit 451
Ray Bradbury was born in Waukegan, Illinois. During his childhood, Bradbury would have these frightening dreams, which later he transformed into books. He became a full-time writer in 1943. He often mixes science fiction with social criticism and writes about the ruinous tendency in humans to use technology at the expense of mortality as seen in one of his many books, Fahrenheit 451. In this book the government destroyed books to prevent people from destructive thoughts. I think Bradbury heard about this (burning books) during World War II and heard about the horrors of Nazi Germany. I enjoyed this book because it was enlightening to read about a world reigned by mind control and how society is affected as a whole if something so familiar to us as books were taken away. I think this book was symbolic because it was about people's loss of freedom. Guy Montag lives in a world that allows no books. This is a society which discourages free-thoughts and opinion, two qualities which are
She has a lot of confidence and is very wise. This showed how without books, minds were easily manipulated. Later in the book Montag thinks to himself that the government probably killed her. The thing I didn't like about this was that they did not go into detail with Clarisse's character and her character was relevant to the story. Montag met the professor when he was sitting in a park and Faber admitted to being a retired English teacher and talked about poetry. We have to fight to keep both and if we are indifferent we may loose them. The person that teaches him that the society he lives in is wrong is Clarisse McClellan, a seventeen-year-old girl that is his next-door neighbor. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury was informative because it was about how society was affected if books were forbidden. However, in reality books are really good because they move us and this is what Montag found out. She is full of life and very imaginative. He taught Montag about literature and then directed him to his escape. Guy has been a fireman for ten years and has become disturbed about burning books. Bibliography n/a. mainly attributed to those who read. Montag, one of the firemen, realizes after ten years, that what this government is permitting is wrong and unjust, so he contacts a professor who educates him and becomes his accomplice in this so-calledcrime (reading books).
