George Orwell’s classic science fiction novel 1984 opens in April, 1984, in the dystopian, tyrannical nation of Oceania, the world’s new superpower post World War II (it is constantly combatting two other rival powers, Eurasia and Eastasia; when it is at war with one it is allied with the other for a temporary period of time).

Bradbury's Societal Concerns Ray Bradbury, the author of Fahrenheit 451 (451), one of the most challenged books, had many of concerns for the future.

In the book fahrenheit 451, the second section is called “The Sieve and the Sand”. The reason that I think it is called this is because of the flash back Montag had.

This commercial keeps playing over the speakers and is making it impossible for him to read let alone remember what he is reading. The reference toward the sieve is that the words from the book are…

Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, has been immortalized as a classic example of American literature studied in public and private school curriculums.

I had no trouble reading this novel originally, and felt that I was very able to connect not only with the plot and the main character, but the writer as well. The themes and motifs discussed in my class,…
