I am close
to being done with the blogs for Fahrenheit
451 by Ray Bradbury! Yay! There are only two more questions to go. Question six and question eight are the last
blogs I am going to do for Fahrenheit 451. For this blog, I feel like answering “Why do
we still read this book?”
There can
be multiple reasons why we still read Fahrenheit
451 and I will tell you them. Firstly,
burning books is and was a worldwide problem.
Many countries feel the same way about books as many people in the
novel. Books are bad. Books are just the opposite of bad. They tell us information from the past but
they also show us how different authors have their own writing styles. Books are supposed to be cherished and read
to learn from. Countries burn/burned
books because they wanted everyone to be equal with no one smarter than the
other. Secondly, Fahrenheit 451 shows censorship but also someone being a
ruler. If someone is being ruled like
that where they cannot make their own choices or even read books, they will
most likely try to rebel. People should
be able to be their own person and make their own choices.
The message
in Fahrenheit 451 is to not forget
about reading literature. Ray Bradbury
showed us how television and media have made people focus on that rather than
reading. Reading books can make you smarter while
watching television can make your brain rot.
Do not get me wrong, I love watching TV but you should not sit on your
butt all day watching TV. Having a daily
dose of literature is healthy for your brain.
We can
learn to be thankful for the books we are able to have in our homes that we can
read. Can you imagine our world without
any type of literature? I know that some
people would think it was the best thing in the world if books were
destroyed. Me on the other hand would be
so upset. I love books!
