Fahrenheit 451

After finishing the first third of Fahrenheit 451, I think it's a very interesting book, I think you can learn a lot from it. It's basically showing Bradbury's prediction of what the future would be like, and how people were forbidden to read books; and reading books was a crime. So this guy, called Guy Montag, is a firefighter. It's a funny thing, how firefighters actually burn houses later on, when now, firefighters actually stop the fire from happening. I think this book, is an absolute must read, it tells us a lot I think, in many different levels, it depends on how deep you see it, to me, I think the author is trying to show us and trying to warn us that books are important, are they not only important, but they give pleasure in life. When I was reading this book, the image it gave me was black and white, but when Clarisse shows up, everything around is colourful, there's actually life to it. There's actually something to appreciate, and value. But, I think Montag himself, is not completely brain washed by the society he is in. He starts to question after Clarisse shows up. I think the first third of the book is kind of reflecting to our society now, how media, television, government is limiting us with our minds. It makes us think only this path, and doesn't make us think outside the box. It doesn't make us think beyond, I'm not saying that we should come up with ideas that are irrational and unreasonable, but then again, I question myself, what is irrational and unreasonable? What is right and wrong? We have been taught all our lives to think this to think that, but what if we think another path? Are those people the so-called "crazy" people in our society today? The first third of the book makes me question all these human morals.
