Reading about the author should tell the authors culture and from where and what time period he or she is from. These simple facts give the reader more insight into the piece of literature. Those facts can determine the nature of the piece as the author would be more inclined to write about his or her own culture, time period, and origin. Different historical periods will give pieces of multicultural literature different meanings. Examples of this are with “Under the Banyan Tree” by R. K. Narayan and “Jewish Christmas” by Faye Moskowitz.

important events that follow a chronology in the past, to evolve their narratives, as the ultimate ends of the stories are probably already familiar to the reader. This technique of using history also might increase the expectation of the known event, where the reader is aware of what is about to happen and he awaits the events wondering what will happen to the protagonist. The following describes and discusses the relationship between history and fiction in these two books and will view the personal history in contrast to the fictional part of the books. How far is what they describe actual fact, authentic history, and what is fictional in the novels?

Real World Censorship Through the Pen of Ray Bradbury Ray Bradbury drew inspiration for his fiction work, Fahrenheit 451, from the political and social issues which confronted his generation. By fast forwarding his setting a hundred years into the future, Bradbury was able to effectively represent a governmental system which was rife with fear and directed much of its apprehension onto the people which they swore to serve. In Bradbury’s generation, more than any other, the extent and power of government was brought into question and authors, artists, and directors voiced their opinions through their respected mediums. Bradbury uses his novel to express his beliefs that the governments of his day had become overbearing and unjust. Bradbury uses symbolism to provide examples as to how governments had resorted to strict censorship and uses of propaganda to influence popular opinion.
