My 6th Post!(Finally...)

Now, I think that this is a good novel. Not exactly my style, but I like it okay. It has an interesting theme, it pulls you into the story, so I enjoyed reading this book. I liked the storyline. It was engaging, but I felt that there could be some parts that could be somewhat too intense. A complete opposition to John Steinbeck's novel, 'The Pearl.' The Pearl was too dul, it's would be intense part was shrunk to be a sort of an interesting fact(?). When Coyotito was shot, it didn't give a real, accurate description while Fahrenheit 451 actually went on for at least a little while. (I don't mean to say that I enjoy violence.) Overall, I quite enjoyed Fahrenheit 451.

5th Post

Now, does this theme have anything to do with our lives as teenagers? I don't know, unless we all turn into mindless zombies as the othe characters do in the book... But in truth, I think that the war may happen (Small chance though.) to our world, but burning down the books and houses, I don't think that there will be much of a possibility. I mean, because if we don't have books, we won't be able to learn in school, which will probably lead to strikes, then chaos everywhere. And other scholars won't like it either. When a war does happen like the book, I think they would just leave the books, why burn them and lose more power, more soldiers? Children might like it, no studying, no head hurting things that happen. They would be able to play all day. But I thought that firemen ending up to burn books was a bit unrealistic. But those are my thoughts anyway, I'm pretty sure you have others...

My Fourth Post on Fahrenheit 451

Now, about the mood of this story. This story has a dark kind of mood, you can actually feel the dark thoughts of the firemen about books. You can see how they absolutely hate the books, as the woman, friend of Mildred cried after listening to Montag read out his poetry. How they burn the book keepers as well as the books. How they think of the book keepers. They consider them inferior. I think I would not enjoy living in that place. There's war going on, people kill each other for fun. This gives the story the dark mood, it makes the place feel like a place were criminals are grouped together, commiting crimes, trying to get revenge, just do no thinking live on one's self. I mean, does anyone actually want to live with restrictions on how to think your opinions? You wouldn't like to think about it. That statement Beatty said "Or even better, give them no sides at all." You wouldn't know. You wouldn't think about anything, you wouldn't care. This mood gives this story the dystopia setting a darker mood. I think that the mood fits the setting very well.

My 3rd Post!

Now, the climax of Fahrentheit 451, I think is, when Montag burns Captain Beatty to death. He killed Beatty and left him dead. He supposed he had to, and I guess that was well done. But, thinking that the Captain wanted die, I think that was a bit over-reacting, sort of trying to avoid the reality of things. I think that needling people would be one of Beatty's way of getting people to do what he wanted them to do. Beatty was a persuader. He uses his voice. Sort of like Saruman in The Lord of the Rings. So after Montag killed Beatty, he hurt the two other firemen who were with Beatty, and lost one of his legs while he was fighting with the Hound, a mechanical robot which kills people and animals which it is programmed to kill by injecting something into them. After the climax, he succeeds in running away and meets the nomads. He regrets everything, everytime he just lived on, not thinking nor feeling about anything in his life till the very moment he started to read books. So there's my thoughts about the climax.

Second Post.

Now, the main characters of Fahrenheit 451 are Guy Montag, Clarrise, Faber, and Captain Beatty. Now Montag was the fireman who never thought about destruction and the world. He just burned every single book he found out about. But, as he burned a house and was walking home, he met a girl. As the girl came up to him, and started talking to him, he started to think. He began to notice the things happening in the world. I think that she was the one who influenced Montag the most in the entire book. As the story goes on, it seemed as Beatty has read a lot of books, against the law. And he was the chief fireman. But he, unlike Montag considered them bad. He seemed to like the current law, give people no sides to think about, let them just live on. He was killed by Montag, he was 'needling' him, but at that, Montag thought that he wanted to die. But I feel that it just wasn't it. I think that was the way that he could have tried to protect himself. There could have been ways to feel about Beatty's actions. But thats how I feel about it. But without Faber, another character, Montag would have been running around, shouting out poetry or verses in books, thus being killed. I think that Faber is a really important character too. So that is what I think of the main characters.

My First Book.

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.
