Book Report Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451 is a very interesting book. I say this because it is a book that is written in a way, the writer thinks the world will be in the future. Its cool to see what they had envisioned, as well as if they were right about anything that they had said. Ray Bradbury, was right about a lot of the future, we know as today.

Ray had saw a world in the future, as a word filled with technology. Although that he had thought we would have seen stuff, like robotic dogs and such, were very accurate. Its when you get farther in the book when you start realizing what we humans have become. Ray was right, we always have to have our minds tuned in. When I say tuned in, I mean tune into the tv, or other forms of electronic entertainment.

Ray’s prediction was people are pretty much in a dase of television, Coming home from work and getting lost in rooms with screens the size of the walls, and today we almost have that. Most of the time people come

    I had mixed feeling about the novel Fahrenheit 451. I really enjoyed how imaginative Bradbury was when creating the fictional world for his characters. He did his best converting the original short story into a novel, but some parts could drag and some parts I struggled through. I think this is a good book for any science fiction fan to have in their library. It was difficult for me to finish, but it contains a well-developed plot, characters, and fictional…

    The book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury tells us of a futuristic, or vision, of a law that banned books. No one is allowed to own, read, or basically even touch a book without reinforcement. Instead of putting out fires, Fahrenheit 451 introduces firefighters, or fire starters, that does the opposite of what we would expect today. And while everyone is knowledgeable of the law that bans any type or form of book, some people continue to read them. Some even risk their homes, possessions, and even lives for them. A fireman by the name of Montag aids in burning any books that can be found. He never stops to question why or how the law came to be until he meets a girl named Clarisse. Montag then looks deeper into the situation that had been surpassed and must…

    Jack Dee once said, “ I have a longing for ritual, something I could cling to, a routine to make me feel well and contented. I hoped that reading Bible commentaries and theological critiques would nudge me closer to some kind of absolute that I could hold up as a torch to light my way.” This quotation means that the yearning for reading a book such as the Bible is a good feeling. Reading the Bible helps one understand and learn more about the past, and have a better perspective in life. This quotation relates to the novel Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury because it explains the importance books are towards society, and the meaning of life. The novel Fahrenheit 451 talks about American society where all types of books aren't allowed in…

    Not knowing things is sometimes an award, but it can also be a curse. The same idea is applied to the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury where the government often hides the truth from the people. They do this to keep everyone happy since they think if you do not know about something, you do not have to worry about it. Some people can accept this standard of living, but others feel as if they are missing something like the main character Guy Montag felt as he learned more about books. Montag developed throughout the story to overcome the statement Ignorance is Bliss by the help of many characters but mainly Beatty, Clarisse, and Faber.…

    Fool, thought Montag to himself, you'll give it away. At the last fire, a book of fairy tales, he'd glanced at a single line. "I mean," he said, "in the old days, before homes were completely fireproofed–" Suddenly it seemed a much younger voice was speaking for him. He opened his mouth and it was Clarisse McClellan saying, "Didn't firemen prevent fires rather than…
