* what is the mood of this novel? do you find this novel saddens you in any way? why?
There are humongous number of books in the world and some of them have a good mood and some have very depressing mood. However, As I read this novel Fahrenheit 451, this novel absolutely revealed an extremely depressing mood. First, Fahrenheit 451 is one of the very depressing book I have ever read, because in this world, fireman have to put a fire on the houses when people get caught with reading books instead of putting fire away. There is no freedom and it is also very depressing that there is a huge lack of knowledge in the world where Montag lives. Even people want to read a book, they can't but instead they have to read secretly in order to survive. Fahrenheit 451 made me feel very sad in various ways. For instance, as I said before, having a no freedom and education/knowledge are very discouraging. Just imagine: you are reading books because you want to learn something from it, however, suddenly fireman comes to you house and burn your house, how would you feel? If i were in that world where Guy Montag lives, I would rather commit a suicide because there is no point of living. Also it made me feel sad when Clarisse McClellan got killed by a car accident. She did nothing wrong and this made me thought of today in this real world, because countless number of people die from the sudden accident that no one can expect. It made me feel unfair about this event but it made me think again about Jesus Christ.
