Richard ~ What a precise and dynamic animated video capturing the essence of Fahrenheit 451! It should be shared with all classrooms.

The Fireman would really have their work cut out for themselves if they had to confront this collection of well-hidden texts and their related publications!!!

How real the animation is in relationship to our current times. Now, ten years out of the classroom, but still an occasional presenter for continuing education and regional library seminars, the concerns specifically defined in the video were clearly on my agenda when teaching gr. 9-12 throughout my tenure.

Yes! Screens, buttons, headphones, tech tricks, no pages turned, instantaneous trivial responses, glitz, sound bites, cultural and personal distractions 24/7, and so much more, have indeed shuffled Mythology, Shakespeare, Bradbury, Wells, Asimov, Vonnegut, Lewis, Hemingway, Lee, Orwell, Steinbeck, Twain, Huxley, Tolkien, Golding, Wiesel, Frank, Dahl, Ellison, L'Engle, and "Papa" Mr. Poe into the shadowed corners.
How Treasured their stories were to share. A Sincere "Thank you!" is what comes to mind!
