THEME


The theme of this book is simple but strong. It is censorship, which means the government bans any kind of literary or any kind of thing that improves the gaining of knowledge. Censorship makes people thoughts and mind limited. In the book people are surrounded with media and modern technology which takes away the time for reading. For this reason the value of the books are useless and is only burned and the people of Montag time think it is rubbish to even own a book. Montag believe the same until he met a seventeen year old girl named Clarisse McClellan and change is thoughts about book and takes him to a whole other world.
This book has a good moral and a theme which could help tell an important fact about books to the teenager living in 2008. A majority of the teenager thinks that reading books are waste of time and think that watching a movie is the same as reading. However, in the book Montag proves that this is not true. It shows that due to the modern technologies and development that people have lost interest in books and put computer games, television programs a priority. But the books show that books are important in life and give us wisdom by telling the furious fireman story and other problems.
