A quotes that stood out to me was "“Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.” Bradbury was always an out going and positive man. After high school his parents couldn't afford to send him to school due to the Great Depression, but that didn't stop Bradbury he went to the library three times a week for 10 years. Bradbury proves that nothing is impossible.

Personally I think Ray Bradbury's work is amazing. He is a talented writer. Although I have not met Ray Bradbury he sounds kind, hardworking, and inspiring. He has definitely left a legacy his readers aren't the same after he reading his work. The thing I personally find most inspiring about Ray Bradbury is how his parents could not afford to send him to college, but that didn't stop him he went to the library three times a week for ten year. That is just mind blowing and inspiring. That proves he is a hard worker and was determined and he left nothing stop him.
