Reflection

The novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury was an extremely interesting and compelling story. The story follows a man named Guy Montag who struggles to fit societies ideal citizen, and he begins to think “radically”, and this gets him into trouble. I really enjoyed the story and found it to be very original. The setting of this novel is in an almost opposite world, where human relations are very limited and most people are fake. Technology takes over most people’s lives and they lose much of the values that we have today. This novel was written in the 1950’s and I believe was supposed to be about a futuristic society, and we are in the future now so it is interesting to see certain things talked about that came true. I would definitely recommend that others read this book. It was suspenseful and very thought provoking. Ideas about technology, human relationships, and censorship are what the book revolves around and anyone can relate to these. Even though it is old, it is still easy to read, and it is easy to follow. The only thing I didn’t really like about the book was the ending. I don’t want to reveal the ending, but I didn’t think it was very creative or original at all, and I wish that more time was put into it. Besides that the novel was very good and I would recommend that others read it.
