Fahrenheit 451

In the book Fahrenheit 451 reading books was illegal and people could not be caught reading books. You have some people that Hid their books because they like the knowledge and still wanted to read books but they're just hide them from the government. I don't want to government is sweeps of houses of people suspected to have books they would be able to find them because they would be hidden.if you were a fan of books in your house the consequences could be deadly.The government didn't want people to read books because the government didn't want them to gain enough knowledge to the rebel against the government. I can relate to this because sometimes people don't want to see you do good so they would do anything in their power to see you do bad  or even if they're miserable they want to see you as miserable as them. Also during slavery slaves wasn't taught to read or write because at that time white people felt as if black people shouldn't have an education or to even have a right to get their education. Which eventually led to some people and gegeneration still not knowing to read or write as well because they wasn't taught it as a child.
