Book Reports On Fahrenheit 451

Ray Bradbury’s book, Fahrenheit 451, is a very interesting book about fireman who burns books. Aren’t firemen supposed to put fires out? “You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” Not in this story. Bradbury’s book is based in the twenty fourth century where books are banned from society. Anybody who disobeys these laws house will be burnt down and they’ll be dealt with. A fireman by the name of Guy Montag , was starting to feel empty and sought answers which he deemed were in the books he had been burning, he had only became curious after meeting a young teenage girl named Clarisse McClellan. She was a little too innocent and curious. Guy sought answers to his questions. He wasn’t really determined

By then, he had the urge to read so bad, he would steal books and hide them from his wife who he became disgusted with. He began to read and after reading all night and not finding anything,he was already tired of it, he asked his wife for help but she blew him off, of course. One day he came home to his wife and her friends who were sitting around gossiping and doing societies deeds. He started to read a poem aloud to them. One of Mildred’s friends became disturbed by Guys’ actions, crying and were a bit shaken up that a fireman of all people turned against society and read books. Later that day he found out his wife reported to his boss about him. His ‘wife’ moved out, and his house had to be burned down. He went on the run after he and the chief had a confrontation and the chief was killed. He went to the man who helped him get the better love of reading,whom was happy to help him. They schemed a plan and eventually carried it

But maybe Bradbury was leading on to something. Maybe this is what he thinks the future will be like. One thing most people were saying is he predicted the future. Which he did, minus the burning of the houses and banning books. But our generation does lack in reading, books might as well not exist. The whole story is rather strange but in a unique way,this book makes you want to read it to the end just to see how it’ll all end. Bradbury, did a very good job putting this story together like this. It really makes you question on what you think the future will be like. As far as I know,they won’t ban books, but books won’t be around long since the technology is taking over. Everything we need from a book is on the web. Books will soon be a figment of our imagination,they’ll soon be pointless to have around. In the reviews I read some people hope the future becomes like that because they hate reading, only a person who hates reading would agree to how the world was in this story. Others hope and pray the world doesn’t turn out this way. A book can take you to a whole different world with the details and themes the people use. That’s what was Montag’s beef was in this story. When he witnessed a lady request to be burned alive with her books, he knew then how helpful reading could be to some people which drove him to want to read
