Can Fahrenheit 451 (novel) be classified as an imaginative journey? Has anyone read the book?

umm it personally wouldn't be my first choice, but I can see how you could, I spose... because he begins to read and therefore is allowed to take an imaginative journey into other worlds? and the wife and her reality tv etc?

Yeah - and the responder undergoes an imaginative journey into a created, yet possible world, allowing for the social evaluation of the direction of our own society. I think the book is a good choice becaue it actuallly has meaning behing the journey.

And that idea can be linked to Bradbury's social commentary. The text is an imaginative journey into a nightmarish future that is quite plausible. Through depicting this society, Bradbury urges the responder to prevent it existing in actuality.
