Fahrenheit 451, By Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury has a distinct writing style found throughout all of his works. Ray Bradbury was an American science fiction fantasy author in the early 1920s. His most famous novel is Fahrenheit 451, about a futuristic society where critical thought is outlawed. Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920, and lived through World War II, when nuclear weapons were an imminent threat. He began writing around age 12, wanting to “live forever” through his works, although he couldn’t afford college, so he spent his time in the library. Bradbury claims libraries raised him, as he went three days a week for ten years. Bradbury married Marguerite McClure in 1947, who supported his work despite his low income.

Bittering resents Mars and thinks it is practical damnation, being bitter about the entire thing and even trying to build a ship back home. Towards the end of the story, the humans on Mars became Martians and were unable to return to Earth. In “All Summer in a Day”, reads, “‘Oh, but,’ Margot whispered, her eyes helpless. ‘But this is the day, the scientists predict, they say, they know, the sun…’ ‘All a joke!’ said the boy, and seized her roughly. ‘Hey, everyone, let’s put her in a closet before the teacher comes!’” The main character Margot and her classmates live on Venus. However, on Venus, the weather is extremely different as the sun only comes out for 2 hours every 7 years. This results in a lot of excitement and immaturity from Margot’s classmates which results in our main character being locked inside a closet. Both “Dark They Were and Golden-Eyed” and “All Summer in a Day” took place in the future, as when Bradbury wrote the short stories traveling to other planets was
