Kerosene is a symbol of censorship because it was used to burn and destroy books so that people would not be able to have their own ideas or beliefs.

It has a major impact on the world, as everyone knows that books are harmful and outlawed. Captain Beatty is a major supporter of this idea because he claims "A book is a loaded gun in the house next door."]]> 2017-02-16 21:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/araphael100/tjvx9bheygnb/wish/154469676 datramkim100 https://padlet.com/araphael100/tjvx9bheygnb/wish/154469918 In the photograph below and gif off to the side, Kerosene is being blasted into the air and towards houses.
