Essay On Ray Bradbury - Writers Forum

TreXvor · 11-18-2007, 05:06 PM

I have to write an essay about Ray Bradbury and his passion for science fiction. In order to write it, I must use three books and create a thesis statement using these three books to support it. My thesis is "Ray Bradbury uses his developed and instense passion for science fiction to better illustrate situations in present day life." My books are The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Now due to the fact that my hometown libraries don't carry two out of three books (I happen to have done an essay on Fahrenheit 451 last year so that one will be no problem) my teacher gave me masterplots of The Martian Chronicles and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Now I read them and I haven't got enough out of them to put me in the direction to support my thesis statement. Can somebody please at least hint me into what the situation that I am supposed to get out of these books is.

Something Wicked This Way Comes, is a ****ing horror story, and is R. L. Stein's favorite book. You should instead do the Illustrated Man.

Go buy the books (check on Amazon), they are good reads and are well worth it. Plus, if it's for school, you can probably get your parents to pay for it.

Too late to buy them now. Take to long to get here. Any other advice out there?? Oh and the libraries didn't carry The Illustrated Man either. Didn't ever think it was possible for three libraries to not carry one book.
