Fahrenheit & BNW so sad!
I have just finished reading Fahrenheit and IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES I AM GIVING AWAY THE ENDINGS, but for the most part just like Brave New World its grim. Just wondering if everyone sees it this way, I mean I read BNW first and the ending seems very sad with the savage (John) hanging him. Then I read Fahrenheit and the whole city they had lived in is blown to pieces with many people dying, luckily not Montag. Just I can imagine people imagining these stories let alone people enjoying them so much. It's ashame in Brave New World John couldn't live on in a happy life, and ashame that Montag doesn't meet Clarisse again to make him happy. Just my thoughts on both books, just wondering how everyone else is feeling..

I didn't neccesarilly like the ending to either of the books but i would have to say that i am glad that these two writers both managed to move away from the "everyone lived happily ever after" ending. I do however believe that there is a purpose to this. Both of these novels are about censorship and constricting the rights of other people I think that if they had endings like any other bok that people read then there would be no point talking about the censorship. The endings are very controversial which fits in with a very controversial theme.
