![]() ![]() ![]() The one interesting character here is the house. This is perhaps the greatest failure of this book - Crowley's total inability to evoke emotion, empathy, or feeling. At no point did the soap-opera happenings evoke any emotion - the characters are just too uninteresting and unrelatable. Little, Big apes One Hundred Years of Solitude without any of the profundity. The text drags as best it can, as often as it can, wherever it can. Bloated, floating descriptions, detached meandering, and outrageously long sentences. This excerpt also functions as a perfect representation of the rest of the book. If this is the type of text that you relish reading, then this is the book for you.

The tech mogul presents the same biographical problem as the professional gambler. ![]() ![]() In the society of "The Pedestrian", citizens are expected to watch television as a leisurely activity, a detail that would be included in Fahrenheit 451. In "The Pedestrian", a man going for a nighttime walk in his neighborhood is harassed and detained by the police. An encounter Bradbury had in 1949 with the police inspired him to write the short story " The Pedestrian" in 1951. Between 19, Bradbury wrote "Bright Phoenix", a short story about a librarian who confronts a "Chief Censor", who burns books. The writing and theme within Fahrenheit 451 was explored by Bradbury in some of his previous short stories. In a 1994 interview, Bradbury cited political correctness as an allegory for the censorship in the book, calling it "the real enemy these days" and labeling it as " thought control and freedom of speech control." In later years, he described the book as a commentary on how mass media reduces interest in reading literature. ![]() ![]() In a 1956 radio interview, Bradbury said that he wrote the book because of his concerns about the threat of burning books in the United States. ![]() Bradbury's claimed motivation for writing the novel has changed multiple times. ![]() Fahrenheit 451 was written by Bradbury during the Second Red Scare and the McCarthy era, who was inspired by the book burnings in Nazi Germany and by ideological repression in the Soviet Union. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If I cant be at the beach, Im so happy my book can.
