When I read Fahrenheit 451‚ the most prevalent literacy style that jumped out at me was Ray Bradbury’s use of symbolism. Symbolism is prevalent throughout the entire novel. Some of it jumps right out at you‚ but most of it a minute of pondering thought‚ and even more time of analytical judgment. I absolutely love symbolism.

Two books that I have read this year are Of Mice and Men and Fahrenheit 451. These two books have characters that emerge out of a state of emergency. There were many reasons that triggered these characters actions‚ but the main one was that they both lived in a world in which the government censored their knowledge.
