Fahrenheit 451 - Discussion Questions

1.  Who should be in charge of monitoring the types of materials (books, music, movies,etc.) we are exposed to?  Why?


2.  "Television is a really dreadful influence on all of us.  don't ever look at local television news again.  It's all crap.  There's no news, there's no information.  It's negative, negative, negative.  You look at that, and you think the world is coming to an end.  Television is very dangerous, because it repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters instead of our triumphs." -- Ray Bradbury, Paris Voice 1990.

Agree?  Disagree?  Explain.
