What is Genre?

– The categorization of a story (movie, books, shows) based on subject matter.

For example: The Walking Dead, the #1 show on TV is generally considered Science Fiction, which means its in an imaginative/fictional world that is virtually unrealistic. Meaning its unlikely for their to be such an apocalypse.

What Genre is 451?

Fahrenheit 451 is usually considered Fiction.

Sub-genre of 451?

Technological advancement is true to life, and book banning is very common in our world, and technology is overshadowing reading books. Reading a book is becoming increasingly irrelevant and unpopular. That is why I considered Fahrenheit 451 to be Realistic Fiction. 

-There are lots of books being banned around the world today. Even Fahrenheit 451 has been banned in some places.

– Book burning has occurred in the past. Example Nazi Germany.

– We are near that futuristic stage of technological advancement. We have AirPods, and are developing TV Walls.
