I found this in my camera roll and now I am highly disturbed. Let me tell you the story behind it... (This is a dream, by the way) So, it all started out in my mom's office. I was with Ron, Hermione, and Harry and we were all kind of talking and stuff. Then all of a sudden, Harry starts writhing on the floor in pain, screaming, "My scar! Voldemort is here!" And then he kind of calms down and we wait nervously for a few moments when..... Voldemort comes inside the room in a red sparkly party dress (which, by the way, did not complement his complexion. Yeesh) and smiles and says "I'm here! Let's get this party started!" So he turns the desk into a table with party snacks, the sofa into this cool lounge thing and the chandelier into a disco ball. So yeah, I had a party with Harry, Ron, Hermione and FREAKING LORD VOLDEMORT IN A RED SPARKLY PARTY DRESS. ~Radi the Air-Nomadic Auror on the Argo II
Sore, I saw Bradbury and I was like " chARLie"
ReplyDeleteI read it for a school project.
ReplyDeleteTies in well with today's society.
ReplyDeleteI loved the book, the detail and the vocabulary was phenomenal
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the book for the most part, but the ending was really a letdown. I didn't really like the ending.
ReplyDeleteI loved the book.
ReplyDeleteOn the ending, it surprised me but it was very realistic and I wouldn't have changed it. I think it really opens up for the reader to wonder.
I would also recommend reading it with 1984 as I had done. Reading the two books back to back really just complimented each other.
It was ok. The ending surprised me, but once finished I thought< "He couldn't have ended it any better." It was a perfect ending, IMO. I do think everyone should read it, but I think the message would be lost on quite a few people.
ReplyDeleteThe ending was just- lazy. I absolutely hated it.
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot of buildup to nothing.

ReplyDeleteI have to disagree. The ending was just different than one might expect. Most readers delve in a book to the end, expecting a satisfactory ending. But that's not how all stories really end...
I think the whole, revolution and everything turns out better trope is overdone.
In reality, that isn't what always happens.
I think the book's sole purpose is to show a world in which books are illegal. Books are precious.
If the world created here was malleable then there would be no pressure on the value of books. Who cares if they take books right?
We could always change the rules.
But if we allow a government to have that right then can we?
Maybe I'm getting too deep in this but whatever.
I'm not saying the book wasn't a good one.
ReplyDeleteIt goes far deeper than "books being illegal". Society as a whole is slowly becoming more and more ignorant, more mechanical, more inhuman. It all starts with a general disregard for books and knowledge, which is happening now.
I think the ending was awful. If it was going to be open-ended, fine. I don't mind that. But at least make it worth it. Like the Lady and the Tiger. It should leave you wondering, not with just a feeling of incompleteness.
