First, this date is 100 years after the date Bradbury wrote the novel, but there is a more convincing argument.
Bradbury gives us a major clue about the date in his text. In Montag's first conversation with Clarisse she mentions that her uncle was arrested for being a pedestrian. In 1951 Bradbury wrote a short story called "The Pedestrian" where this very incident occurs in the year 2053. I would say, with some confidence, that Bradbury had this story in mind when he turned his short story "The Fireman" into Fahrenheit 451 two years later in 1953.
I know that paper combusts at 451 deg fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit 451 is the heat at which paper burns
The title of Fahrenheit 451 is Fahrenheit 451. The shorter version of the story was called "The Fireman", which was the basis for Fahrenheit 451. The reason why this book was entitled Fahrenheit 451 is because the temperature in which books burn is Fahrenheit 451.
Paper burns at approximately 451 degrees Fahrenheit, which is why it is the title of Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451" where books are burned as a form of censorship.
Montag wears the number 451 on his helmet in Fahrenheit 451. The number signifies the temperature at which book paper burns.
451 degrees Fahrenheit is 232.8 degrees Celsius.
Mrs. Bowles's first name in "Fahrenheit 451" was Mildred.
It is the temperature at which paper, in this case books, spontaneously combusts (bursts into flames). 451 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fire captains must have book knowledge in Fahrenheit 451 to effectively identify and locate hidden books in people's homes. This knowledge allows them to enforce the ban on books and maintain control over society through censorship and book burning.
It is the temperature paper ignites at, homey.
Yes, Ray Bradbury wrote a short story sequel to Fahrenheit 451 titled "The Fireman," which was later expanded into a full-length novel called "Fahrenheit 451."
Chapter 1 of Fahrenheit 451 ends on page 25 of the book.
