Fahrenheit 451

The book Fahrenheit 451 is about people being controlled from expressing themselves under a strict government. The government was extremely strict on banding books at that time. They feared that if people started reading books, they would start rebelling against them. At that time it was imperative that people did not rebel because the government had them under their control, the government told them what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Many really did not see why the government banned books, but people were building curiosity to see what books had that the government did not want them to see. Only a few opened a book and read it, most bibliophile's escaped and ran far away to be with books and join others who loved books. After a while people started to see what were in books and started to read them, later the government lost power over their citizens and the people gained freedom.

Fahrenheit 451 talks about having control over people. It talks about people not being able to read books. It was control over their freedom of expression. Freedom of Expression is what we most need in life, and that is what they needed the most, but under the control of the government they could not do anything. As they say "Curiosity Killed The Cat", not true. People wanted to be free and they wondered what were in books that they could not see, so after a while they got tired of it and wanted to rebel to be free to read books and to be free to express themselves how ever they wanted to without getting in trouble with the government. At that time if you were caught reading a book you would go to jail, so they got fed up with it and they did not want to go to jail, they wanted to be free.
