    “Memories” My earliest memories of writing began when I was around 8 years old at school. At first I thought it would be harder and boring but I ended up liking it. I did lots of paragraphs and compositions at the school, and I must say I had a great Spanish professor and she taught me and helped me a lot because she saw I had good ideas and I was really interested in learning how to write correctly.

    Film of Memories I tap my fingers against my keyboard in consternation. Tap, tap, tap, the keyboard taunts, tap, tap, tap. What are you going to write about? Tap, tap, tap. Staring blindly at the white screen of my Word document, my eyes glisten over with the mist of memories playing one after another in my head, like a never-ending movie. What to write about… I have been sitting here for twenty minutes so far, and nothing. Not one word of the start of a sentence. Not one punctuation point. Not

    as no more than a brief bit of purple prose meant to set the premise of the story; a mere back-cover blurb, if you will. What is of note, however, is what could be considered the tagline of the book: Fahrenheit 451 – the temperature at which book paper catches fire, and burns… This tagline is notable for one reason, and one reason only; it provides meaning to a title that sounds meaningless.
