In this report about Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury in the early 1950's (1953), for I will be covering the topics of temptation, the ban on books, and the importance of the people having a say in the government and what they feel is morally correct for their government and society as a whole.

The government doesn’t want the people to experience real emotion, but why? Why doesn’t the government allow us to learn and grow from the things that make us sad, angry, and happy.Why can’t we prosper, and allow our imaginations to run wild? Why? Obviously, the government is keeping secrets from its people. Just the fact that the citizens simply aren’t allowed the freedom of emotion gives off a big hint that their is something else going on in the enviorment. The people are forced to be happy. As explained in my last paragraph the government turns to fire in a time of need. To cover up death, they also cover up sadness, to cover up someone who has broken a rule, they cover up anger, and allow happines because fire is a great thing,lumnious and bright. The government in its book is very self revolved, they do what they can for the people, but they do not look to the people for help. Government officials turn to other resources, such as fire. In our world today, the government looks to its people for help. For example, we look to our people during a presidential elections, because we care about the people’s opinion, and chosing one individual to run our country for four or more years is very risky because we must chose the right man or woman. Our government today is more focused on the people than it has ever been. For example, we do what we can to make the …show more content…

Ray Bradbury, clearly gets his point across that the government has banned books. The main key of temptation in this book is the overall collection of books. The books are banned for reasons such as, imagination, questions, and emotion. Three key words. Books lead to imagination, they open up a whole new world full of emotion and questions. Government leaders have completely shut down the possibility of imagination, emotion, and questions being apart of everyday life, but their are still books out there in the community. How you might ask? Books are passed down from generation to generation. Such as, in today’s world we still have the common fantasies such as Cinderella, or The Little Mermaid. There are a few differences presented when we think about how books get passed from one to another. In the book, for memorization of the books plays a key role, and another thing is that not every book was destroyed. Many books are still out there in the world, but in today’s world we have the basic freedom of being able to read books, and write books. Our classic fantasies are just shared with one and other today. There is no need to keep this from our people because there is plenty of temptation in our world today, and not
