I'm aware that you can only answer specific text-related questions, but just for insight, can you please tell me why or how you can personally relate to Fahrenheit 451? I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
According to Faber, society needs quality of information, the leisure to digest it and the right to act on what they have processed from the first two. In this society books are burned, especially books with authentic and real information. People are distracted from thinking about anything meaningful by an endless barrage of vapid meaningless entertainment. Consequently, people don't have the knowledge or the motivation to enact change. This sounds rather eerily like today’s popular culture. As a literature teacher I see students reading less, critically thinking less, and understanding important ideas less. Social media, cell phones, and the disposability of most everything brings this book to an almost prophetic level.
