Fahrenheit 900 (Temperature when theme is burning)

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

I read the book “Fahrenheit 451,” for my topic on dystopia. This book was not some books that were talking about man kind in danger, but it was talking about how the living of man kind’s habit changed and how the ignorance toward literature affected man kind’s life style.

The life of humans has changed a lot compared to the year 2008. Most of them, according to the book, all of them only waste their lives with television and technology. It seemed as if their emotions were washed away… This happened because of books burning down each day.
So through my analysis, I figured out that the theme of this fabulous book is, “Ignorance toward literature can destroy mankind emotionally.”

Literature, what is it? It is what exists in our lives, writing, books, etc... Literature has done many things to man kind. It helped the resistance of mankind’s ancient history, and it has produced all these scholars that leaded man kind to a high technologic civilization. Obviously there were no internet or television in the past, but the books that people wrote was able to tell the existence of many heroes and scholars and history.

Books are also one of the hobbies of man. There are so many genres about books; Science fiction, romance, thriller, mystery, horror, comedy, action, fantasy etc. These genres have helped man kind develop their imaginations and their thoughts. It also gave a mankind a hobby to read more and more books which made them smarter and smarter. Knowledge can pass to man kind easily mostly by books, that’s why the bible was created, just telling them would be forgotten.

The theme of this book is extremely important to teenagers existing in 2008. In the world, technology has developed a lot with computers, cell phones, Televisions, etc. Computer games and TV programs are very addict able, which makes teenager only do them. Making them not reading any books, destroying all the knowledge because of some simple internet information. Teenagers are corrupting each day, which makes the existence of books less significant in the world.
