Prompt 18

The title of the book I read is Fahrenheit 451. This is the name of the book because 451 is the amount of degrees needed to burn a book. The main character in the novel is a fireman and instead of putting out fires they cause fires. They burn books because in this time period it is against the law to read books. This becomes controversial because Guy starts to wonder why and question it. He finds that the reason is because books cause individuality and new ideas. Their society is supposed to have no disagreements or fights so they don't want people getting any ideas from books. Guy realizes that burning books is wrong and decided to try and save the books. This becomes the main plot of the novel. That is why the book is named Fahrenheit 451. If I had to chose a title I would probably keep it the same because this title is very interesting and creative. You have no idea the significance of it until you read the novel.
