The book we are starting to read in English is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. This book was published in 1963. This is classified as a dystopian novel. It is about how books are banned and these men who are called "fireman" are supposed to burn the books. The main character, Guy Montag, starts to question why they do this and start to hide some of the books. I find this plot really interesting and can't wait to start reading it.
The author Ray Bradbury died in 2012 at the age of 91. He won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation. He "inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create." (raybradbury.com). He wrote the screenplay for the adaptation of Moby Dick and is nominated for an Academy Award. He is a very-looked up to author and I am really looking forward to reading this book more.

I liked how you included things about the author and what other things he has done in his life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mariah. It's always good to know more about the author whose book you're reading. Your summary also gave me a better idea of what kind of book this was.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to find out more about an author that we are all reading in class. I liked how you included his accomplishments.
