Yesterday I
started reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray
Bradbury. After reading the first page,
I felt like I already knew the author.
He is such a descriptive writer and that makes me think that in life, he
used big words and was a sophisticated talker.
I enjoy when authors are descriptive because it helps me to piece
together that image in my mind. Being
able to create an image in my mind is a big part of my liking of a book. I have to be able to read the book and make
an image in my mind. If I cannot form
that image, then it means that I did not form a “bond” with the book.
As the
author, Ray Bradbury gets to choose what he writes and how he writes. Through his writing we are able to see what
Bradbury values. I looked up a list of
values on the internet and I chose a couple that matched Ray Bradbury. The values I chose were expressiveness, meticulousness,
and organization. Expressiveness is
being full of expression. I chose this
because Ray is very full of expression since he is so descriptive. Meticulousness means being precise and
thorough. Again to be descriptive, you
have to be picky on what words you put down on paper. Last but not least, organization is a big key
to be an author. Bradbury would have had
to keep all of his papers of his novel in a certain place so he would not lose
any of his pages.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury was
written in third person. Guy Montag is
the character in the novel that is being narrated about. As the readers, we are able to follow his
point of view throughout Fahrenheit 451.
