Explain why you chose this book.
I chose this book because I really like the ABC show Pretty Little Liars and I'm planning on reading all the books in the series. Even though this isn't the first book, it is written in Alison's perspective, which is different. Even though I know it isn't going to be the exact same as the tv show, it will be relatively alike and I love the story line. This is the book that comes somewhere between the 4th and 5th book, so it will probably give me a brief overview of what happened in the books before it. Would you rather read the books first or see the tv show first?

Fahrenheit 451
-What does the work tell us about how people behave?
In Fahrenheit 451, people don't read books, but burn them. They know they aren't soppose to read them, but it seems some people keep a few stashed away. Guy Montag is a fireman who participates in burning books instead of putting out fires in houses (which they claim they never did). He is starting to question society and if it is really "fair" after his friend Clarisse ends up dead. This story tells how people want to rebel against society to make them somewhat interesting or make a difference, but also seem to go along with what society has to offer (Guy has books stored away but is also a fireman who burns books). Does he have to choose one side, or can he have two oppinions on what to do with the books?
