Through literature, illustrations, and movies, Ray Bradbury has brought his books to life. I wouldn't say that they have become a reality, but more a massage or a glance into the future if certain decisions are made. In class Anthony talked about the subconscious and wanting to rebel. Also that Fahrenheit 451 was a massage to recognize the subconscious rebel and make it conscious. These are not realities today, but more a road towards the future in which we hope to not take. (I don't know how that sounds exactly, or if it makes sense.)
Bradbury would be an interesting character himself. He has many stories and adventures, and is entertaining. Bradbury, as a writer had motives for writing. He didn't want to make people proud or he didn't want to be famous, he wanted to write. Bradbury loved, and still loves writing. His stories are lifelike because of the life and love he put into them. In an interview he says "my books are my children, I love them equally and as much as I love my grandchildren." Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 in 18 days. His want and his love for writing came and he was able to complete a fabulous book.
This blog has confused me so I am not sure if I wrote about everything I needed to but I can't seen to write more. Ya ok.

I totally agreed with you when you said, "He didn't want to make people proud or he didn't want to be famous, he wanted to write." I beleive that that is what kept him writing for so long...
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when you say that Bradbury would be an interesting character. I would really enjoy to delve into Bradbury's world and see his stories and the characters in his life.
ReplyDeleteBradbury is his characters. He said his characters talk to him and he just writes it down. The characters are the little voices inside his head.
ReplyDeleteI love your answer to the reality and fiction of the book. Eventhough you thought it wasn't right, I understood what you meant. Bradburry's fiction of the burning of books isn't a reality, but sometime in the near future we could happen to travel down that road which makes it no longer fiction.
ReplyDeleteI think that totally makes sense, he merely showed us roads for us to take.
