For my reading, I have chosen a very interesting read. I have chose the book, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. In this book, society is completely different. The story opens up with a man named Montag. Montag is a firemen who starts fires (yes you read that right). As you read on, you learn that no one reads, and that the firemen burn the pages of different books. People in this world waste their lives watching TV and listening to radio all day long. As I read along, I just kept thinking who us Ray Bradbury?
After reading about an enviroment where everything is different, I like to investigate. Ray Bradbury, I looked him up online and it says he was influenced by Edgar Allen Poe (that explains). The enviroment he grew up in was all about literature which fueled him to be an author
70 Minutes - Nervous Conditions
80 Minutes - Fahrenheit 451
