Plot
Point of View
The story is told in limited third person omniscient, this is when everybody is looking down at the story. You do not know everybodies thoughts and feelings at all times. The story focuses mostly on Montag but you do not know all of his emotions throughout the story. This goes for all characters in the story.
Example: Throughout the story you do not know what Montag's true emotion is towards books and stories in general. He shows little emotion and keeps changing his aspects throughout the book.

Genre
The genre of this book is science fiction. This is not a typical Star Wars sci-fi story, it is much different. This kind is science fiction, but not nerdy kind. Science fiction is basically a genre of fiction with different kinds of imagery. In this book, Ray Bradbury predicts that technology would be better in the future. In the story, the characters have what we have now, but if they were to talk about these ideas back in the 50's (when this book was written), it would only be a funny dream.

Setting
The setting of this book is a dystopian distant future. In this story people do not treat life with respect and do not take it seriously. Books are outlawed and history is twisted. For example, in their history Ben Franklin burned books. The government tries to control everything about the population's lives. This book shows how life is taken for granted and how people are not involved with each other and the community.

Tone
The tone of this story is very interesting. Throughout the entire story, Ray Bradbury (the author) tells this as if an outside "force", if you will. He acts as a narrator, and does not portrait himself as a character, just someone telling the story as if witnessing it. He seems to have very strong feelings for these ideas, and predicts how technology will grow based off of what technologies and ideas they had back then (this book was written in the 50's). From what I interpret; Mr. Bradbury has strong feelings for books, and would be a very upset man if this story came true and really burned books (and even entire houses for containing/hiding books for the fact that they are illegal in this dystopian future).
