1) The front cover tells me the title of the book,the author,facts about the book like some ideas about the book and what is the book all about.The image that they used also made sense to me because it says that the firemen are paid to burn the book
2) For me the cover book that they used makes me curious about what is it all about,why is the title called Fahrenheit 451,Is the author popular,what is the moral of the story and how did it become the classic bestseller book?
3) The back cover somewhat interest me because I wanted to know what the story is about,why did they think that books were for burning,what made him change,what is t6he turning point of the story,how would the story end,where is the setting of the story and why did author wrote this book. I want to know every single detail of the book how did it start and how did it end up. I wonder why he's job is to start a Fire it makes me very curious of what's going to happened next.

The front cover tells the title, the author of the book, a fact about the title, and a phrase that summarizes the book. The title of the book is "Fahrenheit 451" and is authored by Ray Radbury. Fahrenheit 451, shown on the front cover, is the temperature at which books burn. The phrase that summarizes the entire book and tells the audience what to expect, also shown on the front cover, is "The novel of firemen who are paid to set books ablaze".
Yes, the front cover makes me very curious since the phrase that summarizes the book is very vague, as well as the fact about the title. The phrase, "The novel of firemen who are paid to set books ablaze" makes me curious because the entire book couldn't just be about that, especially by looking at the amount of pages there are. So, I am very curious to see what the turning point in the story is. Furthermore, the fact about the title, "Fahrenheit 451.. the temperature at which books burn", is very mysterious. I wonder how important the fact was to the story that it had to be on the front cover of the book.
The back cover of the book is very interesting, yes. It's interesting because the summary of the entire book is on the back cover. Linking back to the second question, I talked about how curious I was to read what the turning point of the book was. I think the turning point could be the fact that the fireman had met a "17-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid. Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people would think...and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do!", which is, in fact, in the summary of the book. I wonder what Guy Montag had realized he had to do, I'm very interested. Another reason why the back cover of the book interests me is the comment from The New York Times, a well-known writing critique. The New York Times wrote, "Frightening in its implications... Mr. Bradbury's account of this insane world, which bears many alarming resemblances to our own, it's fascinating!"

1) on the front cover i see the title which is " Fahernheit 451" that is a tempeture then i see the illustrations of a man dressed in what looks like armor made out of the pages from booke or news paper articals so this book seems like iot is based around fire and book or literature of some sort

2) no because it just plain it does not have anything that stands out and makes me wanna read this book on like the front page that contains lots of deatail

3) the back cover makes me courious because it says tht Guy Montag work to destroe books so it makes me curious to find out why

_{1] that this is a old book, the author didn't have much creativity. seems boring at first glance. It tells me the title, the author, a few books on fire, gives us some insight of which the temperature has to be at for the books to burn, and how its a best seller.
2] No. this book doesn't make me seem curious, the title doesn't make me feel like its a good book and since it's not eye catching or appealing to me at all.  I read book that are interesting, keeps me at the edge of my seat and even though it is a bestseller, it doesn't mean that it's interesting just that many brought it 
3] he back does not interest me. it seems like an average book. the reason it doesn't its because its just your average book. Nothing that really peaks my interest. it just seems like a boring book}

1)The front tells me that the book will most likely be plain and pretty boring because it doesn't seem like its going to have that much illustrations.

2) The cover shows pages of books that have already been burnt or scorched on fire it doesn't really draw me to want to read the book but if was super and had a taste for boring book i would probably borrow it from a public library.

3) At first the back cover was some what interesting but then they lost me at the ending of paragraph two . The reason i say this is because it didn't seem to make sense to me when i finished reading .

1. The front cover gives me the title name of author and a picture
2. Yes the cover makes me curious because it shows a picture of paper burning and the title of the book is "I "Fahrenheit 451" .If 451 degrees fahrenheit is converted to celsius the answer is 232.778. So maybe the paper was put to burn in the fire.
3. The back cover does not give me

1. The front cover tells me the title, author, praise towards the author and a small quote from the book.

2.Not much, the vagueness towards the story doesn't engage me as much, and the blandness in the covers colour and lack of eye catching pictures threw me of. The cover spent more time acknowledge the author and the title then grabbing the reader's attention

3. Compared to the the front cover, the back is what really caught me. The short summary gave me some points in the story, the opening sentence ¨Guy Montag Was a fire man whose job was to start fires¨ gave me some information on the character. Praise to the author as well really makes me want to see this book through.

1) The front cover shows me that this book was published or came out for a long time because due to the illustration and the ways the front cover was organized.
2) The front cover doesn't make me look curious about what the book might be about because its doesnt really impress me as much and there wasn't entertaining , appealing or attractive and the name of the title wasn't really intriguing

1). The cover of the book explain who wrote the book and the illustration,the name of the book and the publish company.
2). The cover of the book makes me want to explore what this author might be writing about.
3). The back of the book does interest me because it tells me as a reader a little about the author , and a preview/ summary of the book so by looking at the back i can get a heads up about the reading that the front cover.

1) The front cover of the book shows the name of the author, a title of the book and an illustration of a person wrapped in paper on fire.
2) Yes, the cover does makes me curious about what the book is about because, the title tells a temperature that seems to be nothing but if you have the other edition of the book, there is a subtitle that says this is the temperature that books burn at. The paper on the figure seems like newspaper articles, even one with the word FIRE written on it. This illustration also makes me wonder how this person caught on fire.

3) The backcover interests me because of how the author sets up the summary of the book. The author states, "Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires." Normally, firemen are known to stop fires but in this future, firemen are feared because they would burn books to even houses. The main character, Guy Montag, meets two figures that changes his perspective on the job of a fireman and then the author vaguely states that he found out what he had to do.

1 When I see the front cover I think of WW2 i don't know because the germans use to burn the Jews books because of their religion
The front cover does not interest me because it does not say a lot of the book to makes it stand out from other and interest more people the cover does not pop out when you see it is just words jumbled together,it lacks detail and colour.
3 The cover does make me curious about the book because it talks about papers being burned.

1)The front cover of the book shows who the author of the book is and the title of the book
2)Somewhat, because the front cover is showing books that are burned and it tells a little about firemen who are paid to set books ablaze so Im guessing they're going to actually burn books. Im a little bit curious to see what this book is about.
3)Somewhat,because it makes me really think or try to make a prediction to see what's going to further happen in this novel

1) That the book will be about something with heat/fire or books/papers or both.
2) It does make me curious because all you can see on the front cover that is most noticeable is: the title, the author, and burnt pages.
3) The back cover does interest me because on the back it says "Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires..." and on the front it says "The novel of firemen who are paid to set books ablaze."
