Fahrenheit 451 Question #1

Q1. What is the major theme of this nove? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007.

A. My independent novel which was “Fahrenheit 451” is a very mindful novel of the world. This book took me nearly two weeks to finish reading it from the very start to the epilogue. The major theme of this novel is that books are the center of our lives while we are alive and the fact that knowledge is too important to lose. Also, this book showed the effect of our media on how much time we have wasted on just watching TV and not reading meaningful books. I felt that I too had spent much of my time watching TV and just wasting books when they could give me more knowledge on life. The theme is so important to a teenager living in 2007 because many of us probably spend more time surfing the net, watching TV or listening to mp3 rather than reading books that can teach you more about the world. Furthermore, the theme is important to teenagers in 2007 because fewer teenagers are reading books and are spending their precious time like couched potatoes. I feel that many teenagers can improve their writing skills by reading more books and understand what the book is trying to say to us. Then many kids would be able to have much more understanding of the world. In addition, many of us would benefit from reading books because books can teach you so many things that you never knew before. Therefore, knowledge is too valuable to lose when we are still young and when we are alive.
