Fahrenheit 451

are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.


The setting of the Fahrenheit 451 is in the future society where all books are banned and it counts as the illegal to possess, and the house and books will be burned if firemen find out that people have books in their house. Even though keeping book is a illegal thing to do, there are some people keeping books in their house and be caught by the firemen and lose their house and books. In my opinion, I think this kind of society is very disturbing. Books are very important and very meaningful to the society and to the people and there are all kinds of important informations in the book. Many people like to read books for releasing stress or for their own enjoyment and people get knowledge and lessons from reading books. In addition to that, these days people study history to know what had happened long time ago by reading the books that people had wrote in the ancient time. It will be chaos if our society is like that banning all the books. If the books are not exist, then many people will be a fool, have no knowledge and have no idea about what had happened long time ago, and many people will live with great nervousness that they will be caught and lose their house and books. Even though I do not like to read books, it is important to not living in the society like that because I can learn lesson of life and get knowledge from books.
