Fahrenheit 451

1) Bradbury wrote stories on a typewriter that he rented for a fee of ten cents for every half hour. He than wrote a book titled Fireman.

2) Wikipedia says the genre of the novel is dystopian. I've never heard that word until class today. Dystopian is a not perfect society which makes me wonder about the plot of the book...

3) The book is kind of ironic because instead of firefighters butting out fires, they start them. Firemen want to burn books.

4) In the section "Writing and Publishing the Work," Bradbury wrote a story which was published in a science fiction magazine. He writes science fiction stories.

5) The novel is frequently interpreted as being critical of state-sponsored censorship, but Bradbury has disputed this interpretation.......
