The movie Fahrenheit 451 was a very strange one in my opinion. It’s story that takes place in a word where the owning and reading of books is illegal. Firemen do not put out fires instead they are in charge of hunting down the illegal books and burning them.
If the world today were with out books and literacy everything would be completely different. Education would go right down the drain. No one would have that spark that makes him or her different from everyone else. Imagination would not even be in existence. We would all be the same.
Reading and writing is what provides that spark. It allows people to escape reality. It feeds our imagination and without imagination we would all be the same boring person.
In the film books are burned because they believe that books cause people to be unhappy. They think that they upset people. In reality books do the complete opposite. They create wonderful worlds inside our heads in which we can take wonderful journeys. With out these worlds life would not seem as beautiful.
