The people in the society could be said to have too much freedom. Multiple different acts take place and no one is critiqued or given a consequence.

I agree with Ellie I haven’t finished a book since like 6th grade and that was a picture book.

I think too many people would know about the past and if they weren’t in agreement about it all changing (which is very unlikely) then it could never happen. Too many people would argue against it and so the world and society could never have that drastic of a change.

I think another theory on why books were banned could be because something bad happened and the government banned books as a consequence. The saying that books were banned to keep people happy could be a cover up. Maybe people were developing too much power and they needed to slow society down somehow.

I agree with Tiernan and it’s also similar to the restrict act with how they are trying to censor information on the internet.

I feel like someone could have programmed the hound against Montag because he might be gaining too much knowledge.

I agree with Nomii because if no one knows what not to do they are just going to do it.

I feel like this ties back into the topic of Technology. People are so wrapped up in their society and their own minds that they don’t care about or don’t notice the wrongs and they wouldn’t know how to start say, a war. I think it would be more likely to start if they’d knew the wrongs of their world.

I agree with Nomii. The people are so used to the way that life is that they just no longer question how wrong it is.

Though I think the censorship does not benefit society. I could keep people from revolting and hurting innocent people in the process.

I think that fear causes people to either not do something or leave. Fear caused Montag to not want to got to work because Montag was afraid that captain Beaty would find out that he has books.

Censorship is bad for the average citizen but is probably good for the people higher in power so they don’t lose their position higher in society.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that censorship could also be an attempt to obtain more power, as limiting what people could access/learn makes them seem like less as they have less knowledge

There is a lot of bad things that happened in the past but if the society in the book doesn’t know what happened, then they will repeat past mistakes.

Troy-I do agree with J-Bozz because Beatty said that all firemen eventually get curious about thy books, rather exquisite J-Bozz🧐

I think that the society has too much technology for their own good, and that they only use it in mostly negative ways, and too make things have been produced that has caused harm.

People are so wrapped up in their own little worlds that they ignore people even in their own homes.

I think technology is used to keep the society in ignorance by distracting themself shown with Mildred’s wall of tv screens and the seashells in her ears.

I agree with Myles that they don’t do anything else but watch the TV’s. In this society it’s considered “antisocial” to talk to people.

To answer Ellie’s question i think that tech can keep people ignorant by filling their lives with quick gratification.

Chris-I think that Classisse is not afraid of Montag like she is with other firemen because most other firemen don’t talk to regular people.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Olivia because people fear what is new and unknown and Clarisse having disagreements is new and therefore scary.

Sarah - I think the government bans books from society to reduce people from going back to old ways and arguing over history. This doesn’t really help everyone now though because of the violence and it will only continue because violence is all everyone knows.
