who knows about the book fahrenheit 451?

Question

if you know about it,could someone explain the title & possibly tell me if you the think the title fits the book.please & thank you:)

Answer 1

The title fits the book well, as 451 is the supposed temperature at which paper burns, and the book is all about a future dystopia where books are burned.

Interestingly, the math was wrong. Paper burns at a much lower temperature.

Answer 2

The book is about a dictatorial society in which government controls all the information the population get. The government banned the reading of books and has a special group that goes round burning any books that are found. A member of this group starts to think for himself and ends up joining a party of other free thinkers that are living in the woods as outlaws. The name of the book comes from the fact that paper starts to burn at 451deg.F.

Answer 3

When the author Ray Bradbury was writing a book about a future
society which had banned books and enforced this ban by burning them,
he decided to name the book after the burning point of paper.
I have heard he called lots of scientist friends, but none could tell him
at what temperature paper burned. With a flash of insight, he called the
local fire department. Without hesitating, the fireman said "451 degrees".
Bradbury named the book "Fahrenheit 451".

Answer 4

It's the temperature at which books burn.

It's appropriate because it's about a society in which censorship of books runs amok, and book-burnings are extremely common.
