What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?
The unawareness of the importance of books would be the major theme of this novel as well as the suppression from the government. Fahrenheit 451 is the ideal image of the future, a future without books, and firemen who are paid to burn them. The ban of books lead to the absence of the awareness of the value of books. Negative things such as the restriction of the capacity of human thoughts and imaginations can occur and is proven by the novel Fahrenheit 451.
Today, with watching TV, completing assignments by using the internet, or by using powerpoint and microsoftword to do school work, there is almost no place for the books to fill a part of our life!
I feel that books are significant for teenagers living in 2007 because we teenagers tend to neglect and fail to remember the importance and the quality of book. With the development of technology in this world, we might forget that books are excellent tools for learning and for life. This theme of the novel can teach the quality of books that makes you be aware of the past, present, and the future. Opening our eyes to the importance of the existence of books, the theme of this novel can point out what books contain are valuable and priceless beyond words.
As I said before, we, as teenagers use all kinds of electronics to internet to TVs to research and look for information, but we must be careful. The information and 'knowledge' such as TV programs have, is not always helpful to us. Sure, there are many educational shows and programs for learning, but books are right there for us to open and read. We must not choose neglect the wisdom and knowledge books have. Therefore, we should be careful of what tools we use because one day, we might, we JUST MIGHT find ourselves in Fahrenheit 451.
