That is why in Fahrenheit 451 books are illegal. They outlawed books so that no one would have power except for the people in power.]]> 2020-11-18 17:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/937715767 lowrycar000 https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/937717293 They make us learn about the past, diversity, and ideas/feelings. Since they are destroying books they are destroying the past, diversity, and ideas/feelings. Books make people feel powerful and that makes people feel like a king or queen.]]> 2020-11-18 17:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/937717293 marchnat000 https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/980543609 Bradbury was trying to relate books to what he thought the future was going to be like. He thought that because technology was advancing so fast, that by the 2000's, books would be so outdated that it was against the law to have them. As we know, this is not true, but he thought this. He thought that we would be so advanced that even houses would be so futuristic that they are fireproof!]]> 2020-12-02 16:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/980543609 hutcheme000 https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/980571345 A symbol is something that represents an item or an idea in a story. Faber says this quote to explain books to Montag. "The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us" (79 Bradbury). In this quote, Faber Explains the magic of books and how the knowledge within is what's most important. ]]> 2020-12-02 16:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/980571345 lowrycar000 https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/980583719 "There is nothing magical in them, at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us." (page 79 Bradbury) That whys Faber freaked out when the montage was destroying the book." This book has pores" (Bradbury 79) Pores are something only animals(humans) have. Mildred said books aren't people. Yet people who understand the value of books are willing to die for them.]]> 2020-12-02 16:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/980583719 marchnat000 https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/981733889 'The Woman', also known as the lady that burned with her books, has a very strong opinion on books as is apparent. When the firemen came to burn down her house, she says that she wants to stay with the house as it burns. "You can't ever have my books"(Bradbury 35). "No, thank you anyway... I want to stay here" she stated (Bradbury 36). She very well represents the small group of people that still have books because they want the freedom that books give them and without it, they would rather die.]]> 2020-12-02 21:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/981733889 marchnat000 https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/981830103 There is a deeper meaning to books in this story. This would be that books represent censorship in their world. This is because it is taking away the ability to learn about the real past and have the freedom to say and write and read what they want. The government is taking away their freedom because if people have freedom, even one person, then not everybody will be happy. ]]> 2020-12-02 21:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/981830103 hutcheme000 https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/981938324 Beatty is a fireman but unlike Montag Beatty isn't confused about what side he's on. In the book, Beatty reveals his opinions in this quote. "And if they're nonfiction, it's worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another's gullet. All of them running about, putting out stars and extinguishing the sun" (59 Bradbury).]]> 2020-12-02 22:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marchnat000/v7iv321nghoy9qcj/wish/981938324
