What is the major theme of this novel? why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?

It was hard to find out the theme for this book because everything was so tragic. However, I think the theme for this book is that first, don't follow others and think of your own thought and try to express as Montag did in the end of the story. Second, knowledge can make people confused and angry about life but knowledge is the basic term to live a life effectively and well. Clarisse made this happen in this book. Third, it's your choice to change your mind and make a decision like Montag. Author, Ray Bradbury, wants to say that books are essential to people, but they do not notice this current situation. And as I read this book it made me think about how I followed others and didn't notice the importance of knowledge. As you can see in these days many peoples do not read books and be addicted to computer games or video games. If we think of book, many people will think it's boring and doesn't help at all. We have to change this mind and find what kind of book you are interested in. So as I thought, most of the teenagers who read this book will remind of how life is changing. In this book the government used this time to make their authority to remain strong like dictatorship. So this theme can affect teenagers what they learn and interesting things to learn in their age such as history of ancient time, what their ancestor lived like, and what they eat.
