Entry 7 -- Fahrenheit 451

Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.

I couldn't find any beautiful settings in this novel, because I found this novel very disturbing. Instead, I have two most disturbing settings. One is when the old lady died with the "book-burning" fire. This part made me think that books are so important that you can even lose your lives if you lose your precious books. The other one is when Montag heard the news that Clarisse and her family has been killed by the government, just because they knew much. This part made me think that all people are envious to those who are smarter than themselves.

I am one hundred percent with you, and I cannot find any beautiful settings, too. I felt wet on my eyes when I read the part of old woman died in the flame. I also thought why did she need to burn herself with books, and it is very hard to believe that books were worth than a human’s life. Yes, I think Clarisse didn't need to be killed by an accident.

Yomabro,,,Without a beautiful setting and old lady dieing in the flame for some books? I
am glad that I didn't choose to read this novel. Also even in the future government killing people is unacceptable.
