Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury 147 pages Setting: The novel takes place in an urban city, in the far future. It is mainly told from the main characters house and his job. The books tells the reader that it is set in a city, one similar to many across the country, and I say it is in the far future because of the advances in technology. The T.V. sets are wall sized and can take up a whole room. Machines do your chores and everything for you. There are radios so tiny you fit them in your ear and firemen set fires instead.

He has dark, burnt skin from the many fires he's lit, and his hair is black, slightly blue from the kerosene that practically runs through his veins. He has a determined personality, and sometimes he can't control himself.
