My Project

Fahrenheit 451 is an incredible exploration of what censorship, the power of knowledge , and the impact of technology have on society. Written in 1953, this book is a classic work of dystopian fiction that offers insight into the potential dangers of a world devoid of critical thinking and individuality. Certainly, applicable today.

In a world where books are less and less common, please help me give students a book to hold in their hands and read and consider the importance of knowledge and reading.

Thoughtful and impactful- Fahrenheit 451!
