The book that we have just finished reading in class is called Farenheit 451. It is a distopia book but in the terms of the 1950s when it was written. The book seems to be quite foreboding and is a book similar to many that were written around that time. Of course that time was in the height of communism and the cold war.
In the book Guy Montag the main character is part of a croup that legally burn homes if they have books in them. these men are called firemen. Montag is happy with this until he meets Clarisse and starts to question a the way of life. Eventually he totally ignores the law and that leads him to get into a lot of trouble.
Something interesting to note was that at the time that Ray Bradbury would have been writing the book he would never have even heard of earphones and yet a depicts them and other things in is story so well.
All in all this was a book worth reading and I would definetly like to see the movie.
