““Don’t judge a book by its cover,” someone said.” (148).
I found this quote to be quite funny and ironic because it’s very cliché to our modern society, yet it is also known in Montag’s society; a place where all books are burned. However, the person saying this phrase is against the firemen status quo. What if, these book representors were actually a mirror image of today’s society? I think Bradbury intended to subtly get this similarity across. However, do all people represent books today? Or are we actually creating our own books throughout our lifetime? To relate back to the cliché, what connection do you need to become a book?
