Fahrenheit 451 - Part 1

Episode 5 and 6 bring us to our first podcast episode which analyses a book. We discuss some of the wise words from Ray Bradbury in his novel Fahrenheit 451, which is Ayesha's favourite book. The episode begins with Aasima reflecting on her perfect school mornings from a couple of years ago and we discuss the pros and cons of reading a book annotated by someone else. Then Ayesha passionately reads out some of the quotes she has highlighted and annotated and we discuss the significance of these words in our lives and our world.
