Respond to the following prompt: three paragraphs (at least five sentences per paragraph).
Fahrenheit 451 begins with the line, "It was a pleasure to burn." Why might it be more pleasurable to burn books than to read them? What does the book-burning element of the society in the novel tell you about its values? What do you think the people who live in this society are like? In what way(s) is our society now like the one in the novel? Do you think there are citizens in our society now who would agree with book-burning? Why? Who are they? Your letter must be three paragraphs, giving specific details on what your topic is talking about.
