Fahrenheit 451

The begginng of Fahrenheit 451 ia already very strange to me. The author's writing style is very different from what I would chose to read. Ray was born on August 22, 1922 in Waukegan, Illinois. As a child, he was a huge fan of magicians, and a voracious reader of adventure and fantasy fiction. Bradbury decided to become a writer at about age 12 or 13.  To support himself he wrote, Bradbury sold newspapers. He published his first short story in a fan magazine in 1938, the same year he graduated from high school. He married Marguerite "Maggie" McClure, whom he met while she was working as a clerk at a bookstore. Bradbury's best-known work, Fahrenheit 451, published in 1953, became an instant classic. Bradbury died in Los Angeles on June 5, 2012, at the age of 91.

  2. This post gave me a deeper insight of who the author is and where he is coming from when he is writing 451. This may encourage me to do my own research on bradbury so that i can determine for myself whatkind of a man he is.
