However, this is proven otherwise in the book Fahrenheit 451 when firefighters are often ordered to light houses containing illegal, contraband books ablaze in a society that looks down upon knowledge and is unwelcoming to daring souls. The government takes advantage of the brainwashed people they are governing, and have placed many content controls in regards to who can read books and who can't. ]]> 2017-02-16 21:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154467081 khtrapp100 https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154467779 A quote to prove how this applies to the theme of censorship is is when Montag says "It's fine work. Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn 'em to ashes, then burn the ashes. That's our official symbol." (Bradbury 8).]]> 2017-02-16 21:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154467779 katelynluong74 https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154468956 2017-02-16 21:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154468956 khtrapp100 https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154469552 We see the theme of censorship first come up in the beginning of the story when Clarice is talking to Montag and she asks him how long he has wanted to be a firefighter.]]> 2017-02-16 21:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154469552 khtrapp100 https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154469824 We next see the symbol of censorship is in the middle of the book when the firefighters were called out into action in the early hours of the morning.]]> 2017-02-16 21:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154469824 khtrapp100 https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154470440 This horrific scene starts when the firefighter reach the house with the books. The woman told Beatty "you can't ever have my books", then Beatty responded with, "you know it's the law" (Bradbury 38).]]> 2017-02-16 21:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154470440 katelynluong74 https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154470815 The GIF shown below, were real pictures and videos from the content control of the Nazis upon every Jewish book they were able to scavenge. The government censorship displayed in Fahrenheit 451 and the connection between the book burnings in the novel and the book burnings during the Holocaust draws a connection between the fact that the government is afraid of it's people becoming intelligent enough to overthrow their hierarchy. ]]> 2017-02-16 21:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154470815 khtrapp100 https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154472539 This applies to the theme of censorship because the lady burning with the books is a direct representation of the books themselves. She own't go on living without her books which applies to the theme of censorship because without the books she is nothing. Just like how the books mean nothing to society. Thus since she is a direct representation of the books she means nothing to society.]]> 2017-02-16 21:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynluong74/2mqkutg75x4w/wish/154472539
