Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

I've decided to blog on my required book for this post. Mainly because some think it is just a stupid book about people who like to burn books and a guy named Guy (hehe) who doesn't like to anymore. It is much more than that. It is about how someone should always strive to be out of conformity, to think your own thoughts, make your own decisions, and make your own views and opinions. To embrace difference and creativity. It also is about how books can affect any person in endless amount of ways. How they give you knowledge, they give you creativity, they give you power.

Neil Gaiman one of my favorite authors explained that it is basically a love letter to books in the introduction. As it is a love letter to books showing how lucky we are now and the freedoms and how amazing our world is. It is also a warning to the world to watch where our world travels. This book was written sixty years ago and he talks about short attentions spans of people. The lack of people like Clarisse in the world, the use of books dropped and measly game apps and TV. He reminds us and warns us to never forget what books do. If you do not understand this book, if you hate books, if you can't understand why people even read books in the first dang place, if you haven't the attention span to even read this whole post which I am sure some people do. Then i fear we head towards a dark and daunting future like in that of the book Fahrenheit 451. We have been warned.
