Fahrenheit 451

-this book talks about how television destroys the interest of reading. False advertisement.
-presents the American society where books back in the day were outlawed and firemen burned houses down that contained books inside.
-this book focuses on historical book burning, which was an important time in history.
-this book is not about censorship, or trying to hide anything.
-published in 1953, two films were made from this book, both relatively similar and accurate.
