Why Is Books Important In Fahrenheit 451

Have you ever failed a test because you didn’t read something? I did. In 7th grade a test that I had to read a book for. I kept telling myself “since it’s open book I don’t have to read nothing. I’ll just look for the answers when the test comes.” So that’s what I tried to do. A week later my teacher gave us the test scores back. I got an F. Moral of the story is reading is important.

This is bad because books made someone kill someone that didn’t really do anything. The reason why this still doesn’t prove the theme wrong is because maybe if books weren’t illegal this wouldn’t happen, but it
