Fahrenheit 451: Entry 1


--What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?

The most important theme of this book is the ignorance of knowledge and the satisfaction with joy. In this novel, people always watch TV for their entertainments, and they keep themselves away from the books since the books are banned by the government.
Books make you think after you reading and have a discussion other. Discussion with others may exaggerate people, so the government banned the books. On the other hand, they helped people to watch TV, which is full of entertainment, so people in the book merely have thoughtful opinion, but they only think about the satisfaction with entertainment. Thus, the most important theme is the ignorance of knowledge and the satisfaction with joy.
This theme is very important to the teenagers in 2007. The teenagers in 2007 tend to prefer entertainment to complicated statements and want to their life full with joy. My friends and I also act in the same way. However, this book shows how the life we want would be like. It shows that you will not fully satisfy with your life even it is full of happiness. I think this book would correct our thoughts of what we have to look for in the life.
