Ray Bradbury writing style

Her face was like a snow-covered island upon which rain might fall, but it felt no rain; over which clouds might pass their moving shadows, but she felt no shadow. (p.13)
-Beatty was looking at him as if he were a museum statue. At any moment, Beatty might rise and walk about him, touching, exploring his guilt and self-consciousness. (p.33)
-"Sometimes I'm ancient. I;m afraid of children my own age. They kill each other. Did it always use to be that way?" (p.30)
-"I'm antisocial, they say. I don;t mix. It's so strange. I'm very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn't it?" (p.29)
Beatty "I've had to read a few in my time, to know what I was about, and the books say nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe. They are all about nonexistent people, figments of imagination, if they are fiction. And if they're non-fiction, it's worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another's gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost." (62)

He uses a very discriptive and he uses  a lot of personification to give non living things life and the characteristics of a living thing. He also uses alot of emotions when it comes to the dialogue of the characters in his story.

Science Fiction

Science fiction is fiction where the impossible is made possible. Some famous authors are Robert A. Heinlein, Rob Sterling, Lester Del Rey, Jonathan Swift, Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, Mary Shelley, H.G. Wells, and Edgar Allen Poe. The settings are like in the future or in the past.

Banned Books

Most of these books were banned for the reason of either sexuality or religon. To me this kinda says that fredom of speech is not a reality in this country and tht view or expressions are not always allowed to be expressed. Also they tend to blosck views that are not seen as normal in society. I have read some these books. Alot I have known about also. I my opinion my education would have been different in a way that I wouldnt have seen these different views expressed freely in writting and just only being exposed to the same views that are not banned in the United States of America.
