Summary: Fahrenheit 451
Review: I first read this book in my L.A. class at school. This book has many meanings tied into it. Fahrenheit 451 is different then what I usally read. This book has so many hidden detals in it. In this book I can acutally see our world now ending up like the world in this book. The author of this book was brillant to make up a world like this. The main character Montag was great I could realt to him and put myself in his shoes that's what I like so much about this book. If I didn't read this book in class I probably would never read it.

Review: Fahrenheit 451
Ali**13 yrs old H.A.S.
F:451 was an enjoyable book yet it was also hard to read. I thought it was a very intresting society, it seemed as if peopple were always rushing. I thought that the mechanical hound was pretty cool,that they could put anyone's DNA in it, and it could go after them. THis book had many symbols such as, fire, books, phoinex,beetle, and more. I hope that in the future this will never happen in our society, talking to the TV, come on people! We need books!

Summary: Wow! and Whoa! By Kathy
Review: I would have most likely never read Fahrenhiet 451 on my own accord. But I am glad that we had to read this book. Ray Bradbury's idea of the future is totally different than people in the 1950s would have likely imagined it to be. Even now the book holds the same sort of problem to us as it did back when it was published. I can see our country heading down the same path as the country in the book did.
Bradbury's use of metaphors, similes, and other "smilely face tricks" are very well written. For example, instead of using the word "hose", Bradbury described the hose as a great black python. I liked this book very much.~*sHoUtZ tO mIsS. o AnD tHe ReSt Of ThE cLaSs Of 2004*~

Summary: Fahrenheit 451
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is a very interesting, yet challenging book to read. Its use of symbolism was sometimes difficult to comprehend, but our teacher was helpful in helping us to interpret what these symbols meant through class discussions. For example, a beetle, which was a black car, represented evil (Satan-like), and when Bradbury referred to a black cobra crawling down her (Mildred) stomache, they meant a stomache pump. Through all this symbolism, Ray Bradbury truly made this a great book because you had to piece everything together as if it were a puzzle. I liked how the setting took place in the future. Their world was always "on-the-go" and non-stop in a way that they had no time to socialize. They always had a controlled schedule. The government was very strict because they controlled what they were allowed and not allowed to do, and if anyone disobeyed these harsh rules, the consequeces would be severe and possibly fatal. If you like a challenge and enjoy reading through the similes, symbolism, and many other forms of figurative language you will love this book!

Summary: My Opinion about Fahrenheit 451
Review: I liked the symbolism Ray Bradbury used in this book. I really liked Mildred and the "mechanical dog". I really enjoyed reading this book and I'm glad I read it in class so my teacher could explain the symbolism and metaphors to me. Other than that i really liked this book.

Summary: **Holy Angels**
Review: When I first started reading this book in my Language Arts class, I honestly didn't like it at all. It was very complicated and confusing, but Ms. O., my teacher, helped explain the book. All of the metaphors and similes symbolized something. All of the symbolism in this book was so amazing once you understood it. Light and dark, symbolizing good and bad, was used often in Fahrenheit 451. I loved this book once I understood all of the symbolism. Fahrenheit 451 was written 50 years ago, but is supposed to take place in the 24th century. It's funny, because some things are reversed. The main character, Guy Montag, is a fireman, but not the kind of fireman you're thinking of, a fireman in the future. They go around lighting peoples' houses on fire if they have books. You're not allowed to read in the future, because the government knows that books create curiosity and cause you to think. The future government doesn't want anyone to believe in anything else except what they want the society to believe. You have a speed minimum, and if you drive slower then the speed minimum, you get a ticket. The whole world just rushes from place to place. The government knows that if people don't rush around, it might give them time to think. No one talks to each other, and it seems as if no one loves each other. Teenagers kill each other for "fun." In some ways I see our society turning into this, and I probably wouldn't be very surprised if it was like this in the 24th century. It's just horrible to think that our world might turn into a mindless, hypnotized world. This book makes you think, and it makes you realize how wrong censorship is. It was written in 1953, and that's a little while after World War II, so Ray Bradbury, the author, probably got some of his inspiration to write this book from Hitler. If Hitler ended up winning World War II, I could DEFINATLY see our world turn into Ray Bradbury's "future world." Guy Montag's big internal conflict starts when he meets Clarisse, a crazy-17-year-old. She's different from everyone else, because her family talks to each other at night instead of watching TV. She asks Montag if he's happy, and that one question starts everything. He realizes that he isn't happy, and he becomes curious about books. There is no book like Fahrenheit 451. Its constant metaphors, similes, and symbolism cause you to think about things that you would never begin to think about. -->Gabby **Holy Angels Class of '04!!!**

Summary: ummmmm...........ok! By: Jessica C.
Review: when i first read this book i thought that it was so screwed up. i mean like what kind of people would think that books are bad. ya sure some books people may not approve of but it shouldnt be against the law. a couple parts of the book i did like was Mildred. i think she is physco. omg she is so cool. the fact that she called the firemen and told on her own husband that he had books and then she walked out on him was just like wow! i also liked the mechanical dog. it was very original of what it could do. i gave the book 2 stars because i really didnt like it. i would never read it again in my life unless i had to.

Summary: 451 review by Jessica C.
Review: when i read Farenheit 451, my first impression was that this book is so screwed up. i mean like who would want to not read a book. thats just so wrong. the one thing i did like about the book was Guy's wife, Mildred. i liked her alot because she said that the t.v was her family. she was a little crazy though. i also liked the part where she called the firemen and told them that Guy had books. then she walked out on him. i also liked the mechanical dog. that was something very original. i gave the book 2 stars because i really thought that it was a waste of time to read it. but you know, that is only my impression of the book.

Summary: Facts on Fahrenheit 451
Review: Through all of the metaphors, complications, and similies, Fahrenheit 451 is an excellent book to read. Ray Bradbury made this book very interesting especially with his similies and metaphors. In order to get anything out of this book the reader really had to read closely to enderstand what Bradbury was trying to communicate to the reader. Also, the reader had to use their common sence to understand the story, because it is very different from our world today. The scary part of the story, was how it was written fifty years ago, but the reader can see how the society of today is becoming more and more like the book.
Amagine a world were reading certain books ment that you were breaking the law, with possible punishment of death. This was the world Guy Montag lives in. He was a fireman that started fires. In the story's day and age this was a common job. Houses that contained books were houses that needed to be burnt down. Montage enjoyed his job because he did what he was told, and never had to think outside of the box. However, his thinking began when he met a girl, named Clarisse, who made him think outside of the box with three words. She asked Montag,"Are you happy?" To learn more about what happens to Montag because of those three words, you will have to read the book.
