@Deerwoo2 I don’t think that he hated the books. The fact that he was able to cite multiple quotes from all kinds of literature suggests he has a fondness for reading.
The part when all the people were sitting in their parlors watching Guy get chased is seen in our society today. We tune in to the news to watch the cops chase a car on the highway or a person down the street. #aplac3
@ashleyschool3 I don’t think it was Mildred because she didn’t want the house to be burned down. If they found out he had books then her parlor and programs would be burned down and she would have to buy more walls to watch her shows. #aplac3
The idea that tv and technology influence how a person thinks and acts is heavily seen in today’s society. We are either burying our noses in our phone, starring at a tv screen, or on some other type of technology. The ideas and thoughts that we see from these shape us. #aplac3
@notbenhaddinger I think she did foreshadow her own death when she said that they want to know what she thinks but she won’t tell them which has them running around. They see her as a danger because they can’t control her thoughts and actions.
This book reminds me of the book 1984 by George Orwell. The people are told something by the government and they are not allowed to question it. Information and ideas the government doesn’t want people to read is burned. These same ideas were in 1984. #aplac3
