I find that the plot in Bradbury’s book starts when Montag experiences a series of disturbing events. First, his wife, Mildred, attempts suicide by swallowing a bottle of sleeping pills.

In my opinion for this book Bradbury took some historical facts:
Bradbury stated that he wrote Fahrenheit 451 because of his concerns at the time about the threat of book burning in the United States.
When Bradbury was younger he got afraid about the vulnerability of books to censure and destruction. Later as a teenager, Bradbury was horrified by the Nazi book burnings and later Joseph Stalin’s campaign of political repression the "Great Purge", in which writers and poets, among many others, were arrested and often executed.
Bradbury write the dramatic nuclear holocaust ending of Fahrenheit 451 by time that the cold warfare became at 1950 and the people was afraid of an atomic warfare.
For Bradbury censorship was the main theme of Fahrenheit 451, instead explaining the book as a story about how television drives away interest in reading.
The novel does not provide a single, clear explanation of why books are banned in the future. In my opinion the self-censorship is good in some ways because you are trying to avoid conflicts with things you say or happen, it is a way to control hard situations. Somehow it could be dangerous because some persons can understand this like a way of lying or worst things.
In conclusion Bradbury is extremely sensitive to any attempts to restrict his free speech. And censorship the control of the information and ideas circulated within a society which is the main theme for Bradbury as I explained a moment ago.
I think that reading a book it is important for two reasons: they demand nothing from us, we also learn a lot from them. Our teachers always encourage us to read books, regardless of the area in which we find ourselves. Teachers know that having the habit of reading and learning many things independently the college career we study.
