Fahrenheit 451 reflection

I like Ray Bradbury's descriptions in his Fahrenheit 451. his descriptive paragraphs are not like some, long, boring and long. His writing is clear, quick to the point, yet at the same time beautiful. At first, I didn't understand the part about his wife and the sound of the sea, later as I kept reading, I understood it was talking about earplugs or something similar. I like the mechanical hound and the irony in his plot. I think the message he is sending to us is to value books or they will start to disappear. Like his short story, the Pedestrian, he talks about technology taking over our lives, choices and freedom. In the conversation with Clarisse, the authors fear are shown, everyone rushing on with their lives, not appreciating nature, not talking, not reading. Everyone just sits around watching television all day. Television has succeeded in taking over their lives. Montag's wife, Mildred, has three walled televisions and craves for a fourth. Television is now not an entertainment but a drug one can't stop using.
