History Burnt Away Books, the records of our past, the keys to a better more educated future for the entire world. Did you ever stop and think that not everyone has easy access to one? Some people fight wars just so their children can get an education, read books, and understand their future possibilities. In Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451, people don’t know what books actually are because they are censored to the point of destruction just to appeal to the larger audience. “You weren't there,…

Which felt like tiny needles against my skin and caused my lips to crack as we wandered in silence. Suddenly the wind petered out and the weeds erupted in high-pitched shrieks.
