Background on Ray Bradbury


Here are a couple of resources you may find helpful in completing your data sheets for you summer reading of Fahrenheit 451. The first is an introduction to the novel and the author that I put together for the Middle School class last Spring.

Fahrenheit 451 - An Introduction (PDF)

The second is Ray Bradbury's official website: RAY

By way of trivia, Bradbury is the only living author we'll be studying this year. (Arthur Miller died four years ago.) If you liked F451, you might want to read Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Martian Chronicles, and Dandelion Wine.
