Hello,
i am in the process of writing my senior theisis for my AP English class. For my assignment, I chose to read two books by Ray Bradbury (hence my visit to this sight). Anyway I chose to read Dandelion Wine and Farenheight 451. I was hoping that someone might be able to provide me with insight or even direct me towards web sights with literary criticism in regards to the themes of the two books or Mr. Bradbury's writing style. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
