Fahrenheit 451-Book Burnings
Book burnings occur because an authority or the government decide that a book is inappropriate or seditious, and if the book is already printed they often burn it. It is also a representation of authority or power. In the twentieth century books were often burned from public school libraries because they were deemed inappropriate. In Fahrenheit 451 the authorities did not want the people to have knowledge found in book so much to where it was illegal. This is a more extreme version of censorship, the government was worried of books causing people to think differently. We have freedom of speech in America but does not not apply to writing? We should have the freedom to write and read what we want and live and tolerate
