Picture This - Fahrenheit 451

Back almost a year ago I read the classic Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I found it sometimes unusual and scary. It was scary in way that this written world could become truth.

Other days I have done Picture This I usually draw a image from a book I am currently reading or have read.    This week is different.  I received an email from Jack Collins who produced the video you see a capture above.  It is a white board drawing and discussion of key points in Fahrenheit 451.  If you would like to see the whole video click here.  Leave a comment on what you think below the video or on this page.

What is it About?
A futuristic setting where fireman no longer stop fires but start them.   Reading books is considered wrong draw up question we should not think.


My Thoughts:
I was surprised by this book. I knew of it but did not know what it was a about.  Firefighters now take away books from the people who love them and the knowledge they bring but in this world knowledge is considered something bad they want people not think for themselves.

I also feel like there is more to this book that i am not saying.  It is a book that I think if you read over and over again you will understand more of the world. Sometimes that is what I have to do with Shakespeare’s books.
