"Live Forever".

            Upon watching the two interviews of Ray Bradbury, I'm able to see now his reasons behind his writing, and how they tie into his reasons behind his living. When Bradbury was young he met a man at a carnival named "Electrical Man", who said to him "Live forever". This then became the reason what motivated Bradbury's life, future and writing. In Fahrenheit 451 I noticed that I was constantly asking myself where and how did the author come up with these ideas of futuristic things especially the burning of books; why was that necessary? However, after watching the interview, Bradbury specifically noted that the motive for his futuristic ideas came from him falling in love with Buck Rodgers comic strips about the future. He also stated that when he was 15 years-old Hitler had burned books in the streets of Berlin and he realized that if you had no books, you had no ability to learn or be apart of any civilization, which explained his reasons for including the burning of books in his writing. Bradbury caught my attention particularly when he said to be passionate with the heart not the head. Which explains the reason why his characters are created themselves, not by him.
              Throughout the interviews Ray Bradbury showed only accuracy. He never questioned what he said and had only confidence speaking what he said. Mrs. Jesik always tells us to own what we say which is exactly what Bradbury did. As far as the fiction effecting us so much that it becomes a reality, I'm not quite sure how to answer. Some scenarios throughout the book are completely relatable today, there not fictional or futuristic. I think that it has already became a reality.  Orrrrr, from the interviews I understood Bradbury describing how our fictions when we're young become our realities when we're old. Bradbury like many of us have had dreams that soon become true when we become older and then they are no longer seen as fiction.  
           I discovered alot from watching the interviews. I have a better appreciation for Fahrenheit 451 and Ray Bradbury because I understand the motives and reasons behind them both. "Do what you love, and love what you do". Bradbury often quoted this because he was a lover of life which helped inspire his writing.
