Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

    In the book Fahrenheit 451  by Ray Bradbury, I love the way Bradbury just throws you into the book. I love how you start out confused and have to figure it out. I dislike when an author or other character explain the society or who it is this way because then I do not have to do any really hard thinking and I just read. I love to figure things out and just being thrown right into the action of the book. It gets you so intrigued and surprised right at the beginning. Bradbury does an amazing job at this.

    This book reminded me of the article "Harrison Bergeron" and the movie we watched in class 2081. One connection I see is the prohibition of books in the society. Which personally I find horrible because I love to read. Also I think that in order for a society to grow they need to read and know about the past. Which is another connection where neither society knows anything about the past before the way the place was before. This makes society hard to change because they know nothing other than the way it is. Also in all of these works everyone but one or two people have "average intelligence" which is really extreme stupidity. The few who are different try to get people to realize what society/ the government has turned out to be and what out used to be like.

    So far I absolutely love the book Fahrenheit 451! I have not really read many books about society in the future which gets me really excited to read different types of books. This book has me really interested and keeps me guessing the whole time.
