“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them” (Ray Bradbury). In the dystopia world of Fahrenheit 451, firemen burn books instead of extinguish the fires. This is one of the many distinct differences which makes their world undesirable. Even though there are a lot of differences in our society compared to Fahrenheit 451’s society, there are also some things that are the same. Unlike Fahrenheit 451 books aren’t illegal in our society. For instance if a person is found with a book in Fahrenheit 451 the firefighters have to burn the books because they are illegal. Instead of burning the books in our society we encourage to read books. However in our society, some people don’t agree that books should be legal.
