Hana Izuka's Page

Welcome to my final post! I will now explain what my project is all about and where it is.
I read the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and the url to my page is :

My page will have an analysis of the plot as the homepage with an intriguing picture the motion picture. I also included pages about the characters, who bans the book, who is against banning, videos, and about Ray Bradbury.

It was very hard to find who challenged Fahrenheit 451.

My solo project book has finally been decided and I chose Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. This book challenges both the Nazi book burnings and reading in general. This is why I chose this book.

I am now working on my banner and I am halfway through the book.
