Burning the books..

In my group we discussed a variety a different themes in the book, one group member compared the book to hitler, another member talked about how we as a society don't read the books and when poeple begin to burn them thats when we will want to read, and we become more curious about what is in them, we also talked about Montag and how he has really made a "180" and he is all about retaining the knowledge of these books and he wants to know more about them. And in my connection making I really love how feed is similiar to this book. Though they arent burning books in feed no one was reading them because they can get everything that they want is pratically on the Feed! And Violet is the only one who has read a book and her father home schools her. And she knows about the natural world and how so many things are goin wrong with it. But in everyone elses mind everything is great and peachy because the feeds give you eveything. And I believe that as the feed was for Titus that what the family is for Mildred. And the connection to the two are not that different jus like mildred and her seashell at night whispering in her ears, and the murmuring of titus and his feed talking to him as he fell asleep

Now the Burning Books its obvious that society does not want the poeple to get all caught up in books because then books would cause them to go into another world and then question what is going on in their own world! I thought it to be very intersting that Beatey was an English Teacher so he knew first hand all about literature and it is very intersting how he uses his book knowledge on Montag when he talks beacuse Beatey was very intelligent, and he knew how to use his intellect and power to manupulate what he believed to be true. I wonder if Beatey wasnt a fire fighter would he had died with his books too???
