Knowledge is a very powerful source that anyone can gain. Knowledge can help anyone reach their goal. In the book Fahrenheit 451 their society think knowledge is a crime. In their society they try to burn any type of knowledge, but they can’t burn all of it. Knowledge will find its way through experience.

It’s almost like the old saying “you can’t see the forest for the trees.” I think sometimes we can become so educated that we are just dumb.
Life teaches lessons through multiple ways. The indifferences in society play a major role in this. Dr. Martin Luther King proved this through his march from the south to Washington. Even members of my family had a part in changing the indifferences in society by walking with Dr. King. These actions are known as disparity, meaning making the greatest difference.
