#8_60 year old book sparking connections with modern times

Fahrenheit 451, a gripping 60 year old book with a gripping concept. Ray Bradbury has made my cogs turn a bit in my head, because it makes me think of our society today. Montag, the main character, is a fireman. Yes in today time firefighters stop fires, but in this fantasy the burn houses that have books in them. Yeah we don't burn houses with books in them today but books are becoming more of a neglect. Now of days we have E readers or Kindles, so in a way we are. It makes you think of what would happen if all the books were gone, are we going to be consumed by technology? Why the firemen burned the books in Fahrenheit 451 is because they had stories in them that made some people upset or mad. So they do this to make everyone happy, but the people that own the books are heartbroken in the book. One of the calls Montag goes on a women stays in the burning house, just so she wont have to leave her books. Books are a magical thing, with dreams or ideas that authors want to make heard. this is why we cant get rid of books, because they are worth so much to some people.

Where is this? In the book "cut"

In the book "Cut" it takes place at a place called Sea Pines, a big therapy house. But people there call it sick minds. I don't think that Sea pines is a real place, but there probably is somewhere called this, but not the exact thing/propose. Then again though, the author might have gotten the name from a place she went too when she was a kid or a friend went to. Mostly because she can describe the place well. Describing is a very good way to show readers rather than telling, as my English teacher has told me. But it is also easier to describe things when you have an example or connection with the idea.

Patricia McCormick's Tone in "Cut"

In this new book am reading titled "cut", its about how a girl named Callie is cutting herself and is in a place called sea pines. Even though almost every one there calls it "sick minds" since its like a big metal therapy house.
I feel as though her tone is like serious but sad, like shes wanting to tell others that is having the same struggle that even if you don't want to say anything or speak up, that it will sort out in the long run. But in some way i think she knows this "Callie". She says before the book begins with "for Meaghan" , maybe she knew/knows this person but named her differently. That's were am getting the sad tone from, mostly because its about someone cutting Themselves. Trust me, that's hard on a family, i know that for a fact. So theirs no way that a strong sad tone is not in this story. Part of me feels maybe like shes trying to make it seem like shes hiding this, but if you have a connection with this topic it must be easy to point out. Plus that's the audience shes wanting i believe. But whats your thought on the tone?
