Reading In Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

The book that I’ve read is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit is a science fiction book set in the future, where books are outlawed and firemen burn any that are found. The prompt I chose is tough questions, which are questions a character raises that reveals his or her inner struggle. A tough question that the main character Motang faces is whether or not books should be outlawed and if he should stop being a fireman to burn books. He first struggled with this question when he was confronted by a young woman when he was burning books. She asks him if he’s happy with his job and burning books. Motang realizes that he’s not happy and this causes him to question himself. This reveals something about Motang is that he is changing his worldview

In the 1900’s, Winston Churchill said “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” (Kutner, The Illustrious History of Misquoting Winston Churchill,”). This quote stands out for a number of reasons. When people read books, people slowly gain more character, courage, and more curiosity.

What if your young child is looking through a book at your public library and comes across a topic that was way too mature for their mind set. Would you be okay with it? A big controversial issue that has been going on in the past year is if books should be banned. Now, no one is trying to banish libraries across the globe but people have requested to ban books that are inappropriate. This matter has grown to be worse because everyone has an opinion. In some cases books were banned from schools because parents believed there kids should not be opened to certain topic in the stories. Another issue is students have been sent home to read books for certain classes that talk about touchy subjects. For example, religion and magic. Parents

Imagine a world where firemen start fires instead of putting them out. Fahrenheit 451 is set in a utopian, or dystopian to us, society, where books are burned and people rarely have real social interaction. Although Fahrenheit 451 seems nowhere close to our society, we are both alike and different to their world.

While reading the novel Fahrenheit 451, i realized the author, Ray Bradbury described the role of censorship by putting together the personal freedom that one person has, to the freedom of expression that person was giving. Bradbury describes the right of the First Amendment and the rights we have as a human being. The First Amendment is about the freedom of speech that one person has for themselves. Once a man named Justice Holmes, said the meaning of the First amendment was “freedom for what we hate.” A role of censorship was played by sending a very direct or forward message that tells readers what may or may not happen if they allow the government to take control of what they do or do not read. I began to think about a book I read Students’

Ahmad—Showing that firemen will start burning things instead of ending fire was a very nice idea I don’t know how you came up with this idea.

To be successful in life, it is required to know how to read. Reading brings knowledge and knowledge brings intelligence, wisdom, and understanding. People learn from many different forms of literature. One of the most important kind of literature is children's literature. It is responsible for teaching children things like vital knowledge that are required for school and life. One man had an incredible impact on children's literature and the way children learned how to read. Dr. Seuss explored new ways to write children's books introducing rhyme and humor, and has helped children to learn to read in a fun and enjoyable manner.

A novel can influence our understanding of history. I strongly agree with this statement. A historical novel is a novel that has as its setting a period of history and attempts to convey personal experiences and historical events to historical fact. The novel Briar Rose (1992) written by Jane Yolen is an example of a historical novel. Briar Rose influences our understanding of the Holocaust and allows a reader to gain an understanding of how a human who went through the Holocaust deals with and shares their experiences. They also gain an understanding of that period in time, how people were treated during that period in time and what went on during that period of time.

Literature is truth. Whether it be fiction or nonfiction, somewhere in the world, it is someone 's truth. The lines dance and sing a story that becomes ideas and veracity in our society. It is expression for those who cannot find it in voice. It is a vast world in which any one can live and explore, thrive. Ideas and knowledge are stored. Mistakes are logged and learning is developed. Literature defines humankind. So why would the Government take it away? In Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag lingers in a world where literature is burned by fireman in front of the reader’s eyes. The Government fears intellect and view-points, so they remove it. They burn it. And Montag never questioned this. In fact, he loved it. He loved to burn. But after meeting a strange intellect named, Clarisse, he started questioning everything he ever believed as routine. Ray Bradbury asks the question whether a censored, innovative society keep peace and prosperity? Or does it lead to a shallow, colorless world where the earth cries out for your attention but you are moving too fast to see it.

My relationship with literacy has been a journey all on its own. From learning how to sound out letters and words, to reading my first sentence , I have developed quite a valuable foundation and platform, that will eventually guide me to success. I have had the pleasure of experiencing a love that just continues to blossom. A love that will never fail, nor will I fail it. This love that I speak of is my passion for reading, writing and literacy as a whole.

As the course of time runs our lives, the inhabitants of Earth rely increasingly more on the services of technology to perform our the tasks we face in our daily lives. Books are growing increasingly unpopular as modern interactive entertainment services advance. The society built by Ray Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451 inhabits a shallow human race at their weakest, living false lives within the walls of their television screens. When the protagonist, Montag, joins a group of wandering book lovers who have all memorized a book to preserve and pass down to the next generation, he is faced with the demanding task of choosing one book; however, if I were faced with the task of choosing one book for its meaning and contributions

This passage is why books shouldn’t be banned and why it's important for parents and/or the school board to not ban books. Prohibited books are unlawful and not helpful schools. Books are an entryway to various beneficial encounters and perusing supports sympathy and social-passionate advancement. It denies individuals of finding out about their general surroundings. Books should not be banned because of what they appear to be.

Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury touches upon the future of the 21st century. Although it was created in the 1950’s, most of the ideas are starting to see some light and can, if intensified, become exactly what they are in the book. So if by any chance, the society in Fahrenheit 451 (whatever’s left of it) were to be our society today, almost everything today would be completely different. Small things like a speed limit to things like government would all suffer because of the society’s nature. Education wouldn 't be "Education" due to the fact that there wouldn 't be any books to go off which means the common sense in the world would be drastically low, almost unrealistic to us now but through the generations, less and less is being

What if we lived in a world where we were unable to read or own books and our houses were burned if we did? This may seem like a society that we would never want to live in however there are people this day in age that face this. There are numerous countries that censor any type of free-thinking along with any knowledge that can be gained. Fahrenheit 451 may seem like an alternate reality however it showcases what some people deal with today. Throughout history censorship has played a part, dating back to the Middle Ages and continuing until present day. Fahrenheit 451 is set in the future but was written in a time where censorship and willful ignorance were at its peak. The themes of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 play an integral role in analyzing

Everyone knows that reading is important, but have you ever asked yourself why is that so? Reading is one of the most beneficial and practical activities that a human being can do. Unfortunately it is a disappointment that people these days read less. As we know, books were the main source of entertainment centuries ago, but with the widespread of technological advances such as the cinema, television, internet, among others, many people left their books on the bookshelf. The purpose of this speech is to present the benefits and the importance of reading. The reasons are that it is through reading that a person is going to be able to discover new ideas, concepts, meet new places and people that time, money or reality sometimes prohibited. It develops your communication tools and expands you knowledge and the conception around you.
