Imagine a society just like ours now only books were banned. You could never own one, read one, or have one. If you ever had a hope of reading you would have to memorize all the books you wanted to keep. the rest of the books would be burned never to be read again. The book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is about a society where your imagination of having no books is true. People protest by memorizing books in hopes of one day being able to read again. If I had to memorize a book I would memorize The ugly duckling by Hans Christian Andersen.

  • Theme Analysis of Fahrenheit 451

    432 Words  | 1 Pages

    The theme of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 can be viewed from several different angles.  First and foremost, Bradbury's novel gives an anti-censorship message.  Bradbury understood censorship to be a natural outcropping of an overly tolerant society.  Once one group objects to something someone has written, that book is modified and censorship begins. Soon, another minority group objects to something else in the book, and it is again edited until eventually the book is banned altogether.  In Bradbury's novel, society has evolved to such an extreme that all literature is illegal to possess.  No longer can books be read, not only because they might offend someone, but because books raise questions that often lead to revolutions and even anarchy.  The intellectual thinking that arises from reading books can often be dangerous, and the government doesn't want to put up with this danger.  Yet this philosophy, according to Bradbury, completely ignores the benefits of knowledge.  Yes, knowledge can cause disharmony, but in many ways, knowledge of the past, which is recorded in books, can prevent man from making similar mistakes in the present and future.

    If my life had no purpose, no individuality, and no happiness, I would not want to live. This book teaches the importance of self expression and independence. If we did not have these necessities, then life would be like those in this novel. Empty, redundant, and fearful. The quotes above show how different life can be without our basic freedoms. This novel was very interesting and it shows, no matter how dismal a situation is, there is always a way out if you never give up, even if you have to do it alone.

  • Themes Of The Giving Tree By Shel Silverstein

    There are several themes to this story, some of which I did not contemplate or realize for years. This book can be seen as unselfish and selfish love between a child and his parent. It is a book about self sacrifice that is taken for granted by a child to his parent. The book is happy, sad, and ultimately about love. The most important lesson of the book I feel is that always taking and not giving is not the best route in life. Those who take always are not as happy as those that give to others. The old adage
