Imagine yourself sitting in your living room, having a cup of tea
and reading a harmless object called a book, when suddenly your
front door is broken down and a bunch of men come running through
the door with blowtorches and begin to torch your house. Now your
house, all your belongings, and most important of all, your
memories are being burnt down. And it all happened just because you
had a book. Why would anybody do such a horrible thing? Well,
because in the book Fahrenheit 451, books are dreaded and feared by
the common folk, and it's up to the "firemen" to help them out by
burning all books in the world. Throughout the book the main
charachter begins to realize what books really were made for. THey
begin to understand the value of these little rectangular object
that burn beautifully when set on fire, the objects that light up
the night sky when they burn and "die" off. By the end of the novel
he is trying to save books instead of burning them to hot
smoldering ashes.
