Now, my first book is Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury.
Its about a fireman, Guy Montag. At this age, an atomic war was happening which shows that
it is in the future of our world. I think it's a bit drastic. The 'firemen' in the book are not real fire-fighters, but people who burn books and people who keep them. This I think, really is dystopia. No books, no freedom to think about other things. I think the only 'real' thinker in the book is Clarisse, her uncle, Faber, Guy, and the nomads. I liked the uncle of Clarrise. Because he, I think was the only person who actually did remember the age when people could actually think on their front porches, read books, do things as they wished. This, is where people drove 95 miles when the restriction was 40. The kids drove and tried to kill innocent passing people. Montag himself was nearly run over. These poeple thought a 'wall' (I think TV) was their family. The wife of the main character, Mildred seemed like an addict of the walls. She, I think, represented the TV addicts of this world. This book represents the kind of world we soon may live in. The war, the technology, how many poepe don't care about the books and their knowledge. You can see it little kids at times too, like when they could be reading, they still try and play games.
