Ray Bradbury's writing style

As he stood there the sky over the house screamed." (Pg. 13)

"They're about nonexistent people, figments of imagination, if they're fiction. And if they're nonfiction, it's worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another's gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost." (Pg. 62)

"He felt he was one of the creatures electronically inserted into between the slots of the phono-color walls, speaking, but the speech not piercing the crystal barrier." (Pg. 46)

"He felt he was one of the creatures electronically inserted into between the slots of the phono-color walls, speaking, but the speech not piercing the crystal barrier." (Pg. 46)

We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black beans loam. Even fireworks, for all their prettiness, come from the chemistry of the earth. yet some how we think we can grow, feeding on flowers and fireworks, without completing the cycle back to reality.

Bradbury used personification, and indirect metaphor. For instance he compared how the house scream like a real person and people carry huge things like a star and the sun. Furthermore he uses allusion that refer to historical fact such as Benjamen Franklin. Unlike him , Author Miller made his character speak litterally by using reasoning and common sense. However, Ray portraits the dialogue in confusion implied by his character.

Banned Book

The general reasons for banning book are: profanity, sexual theme, religious matter, and racism. Our culture is very strict and people in the country are not open-minded. If I haven't read Of Mice and Men , To Kill a Mocking Bird, and Catch 22, I would not be able to visualize the negative side of our government and the other of the story which was told. Our culture seems to brainwash teens by making them read fairy tale. We should not be craven but to take action to educate ourself.
