Fahrenheit 451 Study Guide by Progeny Press opens the reader’s eyes, mind, and heart to the desensitizing nature of technology and chasing the “feel good” lifestyle. This literature selection is best suited for older high school students in its content and language. The guide covers each of the three parts from the book with two sections per part. The first section for each part works on vocabulary skills and reading comprehension questions. The second section addresses deeper literary analysis questions and makes deeper scriptural connections. Literary skills include allusion, characterization, dramatic structure, foil, metaphors, setting, similes, symbolism, tone, and more! Prereading Activities provide context before reading. Post-reading final projects and essay prompts help readers make further connections to the text and showcase what they have learned. A catered list of age-appropriate Further Resources is provided. Answers are in the back on perforated pages for easy removal. 93 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Guy Montag, a fireman of the future, is responsible for starting fires, not stopping them. In his society, books have been banned - all books, save the firemen's own rule books, which contain the ominous order: "Burn everything." Books are only filled with confusing and contradictory ideas, and it is more important to have fun and to be entertained.
He finds pleasure in his job until one autumn evening when a teenage neighbor, Clarisse McClellan, asks him a simple, haunting question: "Are you happy?" When an old woman refuses to leave her books and dies in the flames, he wonders, what in her books inspires such passion? He determines to discover it for himself, though his rebellion, and his confusion, may cost him his life.
A good examination of censorship and our responsibility to understand.
