Fahrenheit 451 :

~ THINGS I LEARNED ~

1.) Bradbury stated that he wrote Fahrenheit 451 because of his concerns at the time , about the threat of book burning in the United States.
2.) He stated his motivation for writing the book in more general terms.
3.) Bradbury described himself as "a preventor of futures, not a predictor of them."
4.) Bradbury tended to dismiss censorship as a chief motivating factor for writing the story. 
5.) Messages of Fahrenheit 451 were about the dangers of an illiterate society infatuated with mass media and the threat of minority and special interest groups to books.
