Fahrenheit451-5

What is the mood of this novel? do you find this novel saddens you in any way? why?
The mood of the story Fahrenheit 451 was dark and not peaceful. It was also depressing in times and felt scary and over rated for kid around three. There were not any happy excitements in the story except there were always actions in the story. The story didn’t sadden me at all because the book didn’t appeal at me as a sad story but as a terrible life a person could get. I could see myself in the story and be a character that would suicide. Right now my life here feels normal and stressful, but I think that Fahrenheit 451 would be a stressful life for me and I think I wouldn’t last long there. I also think if you were in the story you would be sad instead. It seems like a life with no common scene. I guess if you look at the story in a different perspective maybe it is sad. The book could be showing us how our life could be trapped by rules that does not help us at all but makes us not have a mind of our own. Not have the freedom to say anything we want to say. No knowledge to know anything. The main character trying to fight his way to a rough goal would also be sad. This book could have two perspective and not have only one. The ideal of this book is mostly to be isolated, scared, and trapped and to find freedom. This book seems like the regular people are slaves and are trying to get out of the master’s house.

The title of the book makes me feel very interesting. I also think the mood of the book is interesting, too. The mood of the novel is dark and not peaceful. It’s almost like ‘The Outsider’, which I’ve read. It also means there are many interesting situations happen even it’s dark. I hope there are. I chose ‘Fahrenheit 451’ as my second book, so I can figure it out later soon as well. Your statement helps me to understand the story somewhat. Thank you~~~~~~^ㅂ^
