I can relate to Ray Bradbury when he wrote about Fahrenheit 451, because its a story that happens to many people. Sometimes we do not really notice the world around us. We are shackled by the desires of today's society. Technology, sex, drugs, popularity, religion, also our own family. We are not so different from the story of the book. People who are supposed to defend us, or better our society, are the ones who destroy. This is a story that expresses the problems we have today. When I read it, it was for me a wake up call. It showed me, how to do the right things, and always value what is right.
