Passion is the greatest of all virutes for the man who writes. Ray Bradbury displays pure unbridled passion in his words, whether they are spoken or written. His motive is firstly to be passionate, and then to be meaningful. His story about "Mr. Electrico" shows the second of these two motives, even the two are corollaries. Bradbury will live forever in the heart and soul of the one who is enlightened because he is passionate about the justice of literature. Because he feels passionate nothing will stand in his way on the road to this literary immortality.
As I've said befoe, Bradbury is about the individual overcoming his/her circumstances. True, society is not a Utopia. But it never will be. Bradbury's answer is sufficient: Rebel because you are passionate, and rebel even if it could cost you your life.
i agree. My favorite thing he said was Do what you love and love what you do.
