Seventy seniors weren't able to make it back when Benjamin Franklin High School in New Orleans reopened in January 2006.

Readers dive in with specific fears — about technology, society, or the future — and find an allegory to validate them. And Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury’s classic 1953 novel, is a perfectly adaptable cautionary tale.
