Soundtrack to F451
If Fahrenheit 451 was going to be made into an upcoming feature film, what song do you think would best exemplify one of the themes or motifs that we've discussed in class? What connections can you make between the lyrics of the song and the theme or motif of the book? Why would you pick this song to be on the soundtrack--does it fit in with setting/plot/emotion of the book?
Paste a video to your song.
