Fahrenheit 451

The last book finally which oddly it was actually the first one but whatever.

Fahrenheir 451 stirred mixed emotions in me. I am not all that into science fiction books because they, at times, get too farfetched for me to get into. I did enjoy Fahrenheit, though, because of its theme and its ability to show us how important it is to not censor ourselves from events or people. We need to know every side to an argument before properly taking a stand.
Burning books out of fear is totally uncalled for. Beatty understands how mind boggling books can be but can not see the beauty in them which I find unfortunate.

This book like others we have read also can parallel the lives we lead each day. In Sociology, we are watching "Bowling for Columbine" and it discusses how the news censors what they show us. You never really see the good aspect of America, it is always the bad. In the society in Fahrenheit, they just pump the people so full of facts until they are satisfied, teach them not to ask questions, and exterminate the ones that cause too many problems. It is kind of disturbing how these people shelter themselves from everything going on around them and do not think much of it.
