Fahrenheit 451 is a book by Ray Bradbury which takes place in a futuristic society in which books are banned by the government. The fire department is known simply as “451′ is alerted when someone has a book and they rush out to burn them as fast as they can. The premise of the book is that books cause people to think too much and come up with too many ideas which may put the government in danger.

The number “451” is significant in that paper catches fire at 451 degrees Fahrenheit, hence the name of the novel.

To Kill a Mockingbird, a novel by Harper Lee, takes place in the south in the 1930’s. It involves the lives of African Americans in the south during this era. One of the primary characters is a lawyer named Atticus Finch, who defends the rights of a black man accused of murder. I haven’t read this book in a long time, so I don’t remember all the details but this is the basic premise of it. The primary focus is on racial tension in the south after the end of the Civil War but before the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s.

I read both books and I thought I was going to die or bored from Fahrenteit 451, and it has the most confusing morals. If you have an essay on it, you will be stuck because this whole book is reading between the lines

To kill a mockingbird is a book everyody heard of and torward the end its suspious and in the beggining a little.

i recommend.

People die and things burn in F451; maybe that’s a little more Christie than TKAM.
