"Farenheit 451" is the novel that was written by Ray Bradbury and which was published in 1953. The story narrates the life of Guy Montag, a firefighter who has to perform his duty, like everyone else, of exterminating literature and all other kinds of writting, that are present in books. In order to do this, Montag, and his colleagues go to different places where books might be present, and instead of putting out fires, fire them to burn books. In this particular excerpt, which is part of the very opening of the novel, the main character is talking about books themselves, and how they were seen as an evil thing that needed to be destroyed, as they were deemed useless. History, and knowledge, says the novel, was now given through other types of media.

Explanation:
When it comes to active sentences, you have your subject, your verb, and your direct object. However, when you want to make a passive sentence, you should place the direct object in the initial position (acting as something similar to a subject) to place emphasis on that particular word.
So, in the active sentence, the subject was <em>some artist, </em>the verb was <em>painted, </em>and the object was <em>the mural. </em>In order to make the sentence passive, we place <em>The mural </em>first, and then denote whom the action was made by (in this case, <em>some artist</em>). The tense should be the same in both sentences - past simple in the active sentence, and past simple passive in the passive one.
