#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.
