After reading a few of my fellow classmates post on why Bradbury might have written this novel I've came
to my own conclusion, from how I see it Bradbury Didn't write this
novel to tell the future or show us how important book are (not saying
they aren't). He wrote this to convey a message, A message meant to open
the eyes of the reader and to help them understand freedom.
Some of us are nothing but sheep. The pack does something, they follow. The pack falls off a cliff, we all fall off a cliff.
Important things can be taken right from under our noses and only a
select few will notice because we are so caught up in being told what to
do and not letting ourselves expand into a new horizon
I may be just spouting nonsense because of the time and I'm dead tired an unable to sleep but, from my understanding what I've said is not entirety false.
Think about the things that were foretold would happen in his book:
Earbudds, FlatPannel TVs, Hospitals and more. I mean common man!
The story says "Books are against the law" Who tried to stop it? apparently
no one. Think about the government today, they have tried many times to
take away the simple things we have rights to. Like internet privacy,
The right to bear arms, Physical privacy, and on and on.
Now its like we're taxed to live.
"Oh! You're living? Breathing? Thinking? Here let me take this, I don't think you'll need it." as he/she proceeds to take your body and soul, Mind and muscle.

SPRING POST 1: MUSIC AS LITERATURE
Can we consider music to be literature? How do we define literature?
I would Say it is, Music is just its own form of literature. Its taking written lit and adding Rhythm, This give a more deep meaning to the spoken word.
How do we define literature?
Literature is our way of communication. Communicating can come in many shapes and sizes, it can be a poem, a story, a song and so on.
What is the difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony?
Like I said before, Everything here can be written to be the same thing, but create its own mood or feeling towards the subject.
