I just want someone to hear what I have to say.  And maybe if I talk long enough, it'll make sense."  This quote relates to the theme because it shows how ignorant and mindless everyone in society is since they don't listen and talk to each other as human beings.]]> 2018-03-21 19:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/vlnguyen109/medphqebxi0o/wish/244712579 vlnguyen109 https://padlet.com/vlnguyen109/medphqebxi0o/wish/245192737 In the story, the prisoner is freed and discovers the truth about objects in the world.

'You see? I knew it, that's what I wanted to prove! I knew it would happen! I've always said, poetry and tears, poetry and suicide and crying and awful feelings, poetry and sickness; all that mush!'" Mrs. Bowles explains that the reason books were banned was because they invoked negative and sad feelings when they only want to experience happiness. The ignorance of all negative emotions makes them become less like a person, for a person experiences all feelings.
