Take a look at your bag, take a look at your table, take a look around you, there¡¯s one item you can find almost anywhere in the world now-----BOOK. Students learn knowledge from books, Professors search projects from books, teachers teach base on books. A book can not only reflect the author¡¯s idea, but most likely represent certain category of phenomena in the society. Each book is a teacher, knowledge comes from the book, book has been proved necessary for the society. But can you ever believe people someday will act hostile to the books, they destroy them, burn them, there¡¯s a special institution named Firehouse, a government agency used only for burning books and the place where books are found. Well if don¡¯t believe it, I can tell that it is exactly what happened in the novel ¡° Fahrenheit 451¡±. You may wonder how can people live normally without books and knowledge, well obviously they figured out a way to substitute them-- ---Ignorance, a strategy that wiped all the books and knowledge source to make people equal to each other. One of the reasons why people considering ignorance as a major choice is that people feel dangerous about the books. In the novel, Captain Beatty¡¯s opinion is a very strong evidence ¡° Colored people don¡¯t like LITTLE BLACK SAMBO, burn it. White people don¡¯t feel good about UNCLE TOM¡¯s CABIN, Burn it. Someone¡¯s written a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The cigarette people are weeping? Burn the books!¡± As a perception of his idea, books are always hurting people. This utterance is very unilateral, it only described the negative part of the ideas people making comments on books. Firstly, certain category of books may offend certain group of people, but they may well- accepted by another group. A book is distasted by a certain group doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s a bad book, in fact, all the books can somehow teach us something that we haven¡¯t known yet.
