Is American on its way to becoming like Fahrenheit 451? By Miranda Rickard

When Beatty comes to visit Montag, when he is "Sick", Beatty explains to Montag, basically how their community was created by the people. What I mean by this, is that people controlled their books, and readings, to the point that they got to the point where basically no one can have an opinion. Many people were getting offended by other people's expressions, so they created a world where nobody can say anything that will offend anyone else. Now, when we look at this, we think to ourselves " Well, thats dumb. Let people have their opinion." I don't think we grasp the fact that we have similar situations in our world day. For example, all of the banned books today in America. We may see that books are just banned, but you may never know, one person can take it to the next step, and create a process in which banned books can be really banned; as in burned, or taken away. I dont know though......comment and let me know what you think! =] -Miranda
