I am doing a research project on Bradbury, and I could use some help, if you think you can help me then please feel free to email me at HunniPrincess@aol.com, and please respond to the post first, so I know to check my mail. The topic of the report is how Bradbury's life affected how he wrote Fahrenheit 451. If any of you know any information with support from the book, I'd be greatly obliged (is that the right word??). The only thing that I can think of to help you with what I'm talking about is in Dicken's Tale of Two Cities, how he hated lawyers, and that was because as a young boy he worked for them. Thank you for your help.

by the way, i just noticed Mad Dog's post, and it has been a lil helpful so far, thanks MD =)

i have to have the report finished by tuesday the 18th, but i have another week to work on it after it gets peer evaluated. please please help me, i have little time left and all that i have is information about him, not how it relates to the novel.
great thanks.

Sorry for the non-response. Somehow this posting got buried (for me). I didn't notice it before you interrupted our party on the other string. :-)

Unfortunately, familiarity of Bradbury's biography is not a strong point of mine. I like to enjoy his work and exegete directly from the text itself. In other words, most of my work with Bradbury's writing is derivative of the text itself.

The only biography I have on Bradbury is the new, "Bradbury: Illustrated life". I read it quickly when I first got it, and don't remember any obvious intersects between his biography and the fundamental concepts of F451. (Of course, I had just gotten out of the hospital and was still on pain killers, so, of course, it's possible the intersects are there . . . I just didn't see them!)

I can try to look at it this weekend a bit, but there are others who are better qualified to look at that kind of intersection.

thank you for responding =) the darned report is due tomorrow and i am no more better off now that i was on the 17th when i wrote it. the thing is, the information i got just mostly talked about his books and not about his life. the most obvious thing i could depict was the fact about the war, and which probably was an effect from war world 2 or maybe even vietnam.. this i have no idea about but i guess it wouldnt hurt to mention it right? thanks
