The Peeved Pedestrian

I think that Ray Bradbury was completely inspired by censorship because he knows how important it is to be able to write freely. This book shows a world with no books; no emotion just a world full of war and unhappiness. He took it to another level. he was basically saying you want to censor my book? Then why have them? People create books that may not seem appropriate to some people but who says great literature has to be appropriate? Some of the worlds most famous paintings have nude people in them and they are still considered master pieces. Bradbury knows we are the books and if you censor them you are just blocking out what a writer truly is trying to say.

spring post: Music Literature

I feel like most people can agree that music could also be considered literature. Behind music there are so many stories that could be told about it. We define literature as writing so why couldn't a song be considered literature? It does have words? the difference between all these types of music and writing it allows you to experience different moods or emotions by the tone they give off. I very much consider music to be literature because every song can tell a story and put you in a certain mood.
