Add your own response to this book:
"Now we shall get rid of the weight of dead men's thought, which has hitherto pressed so heavily on the living intellect that it has been incompetent to any effectual self-exertion. Well done, my lads! Into the fire with them! Now you are enlightening the world, indeed!" From Earth's Holocaust by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Fahrenheit 451 is about a society that has ceased to place importance on critical literacy. With achievement levels measured solely by standardized testing, the focus shifted to rote memorization and a present government that some would argue has a tight control of the media, are we in danger of ceasing to become critically literate as a society? Is Fahrenheit 451 relevent for us today? Answer these questions with us!
