About Ray Bradbury
I have read a short article about Bradbury and now I'll try to retell it.
Ray Bradbury is a novelist, writer and poet. He was born into a big family. He was the third child of Leonard and Ester. They didn't give him a good education but it was a very happy and lovely life in this big family. He spent his early years in Waukegan.
Edward started to write when he was 11 years old.
Early in his life the Bradbury family moved to Los Angeles. Teenager Ray strolled through Hollywood to meet and speak with celebrities. He befriended a special effects maestro Ray H. and radio star George B.
George B. was the first person who paid Bradbury as a writer - it was for a joke on his radio show.
Bradbury entered highschool where he joined the acting club. Ray played in that club - he was an actor. At that time he planned to become a dramatic actor but his teachers recognized in him a great talent as a writer.
After finishing highschool education he couldn't continue studying. He went to work. At the same time he educated himself. He sold magazines on the street corner every day and studied in the library at night.
His first article was printed in a small amateur magazine. Two years later he got his second of many articles.
He met his future wife some years after he had written his story "Lake". In this story he had discovered his distinctive writing style. The following years he didn't sell magazines because he was writing, full time.
In this period he met his future wife. She was a clerk in a bookshop. They had three children.
One of the best known works by Bradbury is "Fahrenheit 451". This tells of a time when the government bans the written word. The hero of this book is a book-burner. He begins to ask about the time when books were legal. He begins to study with one professor and steals books.
This work of Bradbury has won many prizes and awards.
The end =)
