Welcome, friends. In making SwiftRiverResources.com, I have found that some things just don't "fit" into the framework of the site. Here are some of the things I have found online that bring to life the study of the Fahrenheit 451. Please use these alongside your journey starting on SwiftRiverResources.com.
Listed below are a description of the book from the publisher and posted on Amazon, articles from Wikipedia, discussion questions, as well as some points to ponder about the story from Common Sense Media.
Please also find a PDF below with a full set of extra worksheets and word lists from SwiftRiverResources.com. Note: teacher keys and auto-graded quizzes are still accessed through a subscription to SwiftRiverResources.com.
Excerpt from Amazon.com:
Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
