Actually, I didn’t book a whole book during the break, but, I read Ray Bradbury’s 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451 is set in a society that burns books in order to control dangerous ideas and unhappy concepts. The novel tells the story of Guy Montag, a fireman who questions the book-burning policy and undergoes extraordinary suffering.

some notes I’ve took before

Daniel, Son Hyunsu

Thesis-If you didn’t know the truth with certainty, would you think its a lie?  Society has to accept the facts that are apparent.  How much limitation to absolute knowledge is appropriate?  The exact amount is unknown but one thing is clear; In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, governmental censorship creates a society of people who don’t know the truth and who also don’t know how to find it.  Through a period of realization, Guy Montag discovers that censorship only leads to the downfall of a group, and has the bravery to expose the lies that people have been fed.

Points I agree

-the setting(people can’t read book and the government is controlling people)

-the machines and techniques in the book (this book has written in 1950s, but a lot of thing in that story is now possible )

Points I disagree

-people are too obedient to the government
