Burning Books?: Fahrenheit 451

Like most people are today, I constantly get distracted by the beauty of electronics. Sometimes I forget the better things in life, the amazing and wondrous world we live in and the spectacular world we make it. Books are a core center for exploring our world and other worlds; we can explore our mind and the mind of others. Sure, movies, songs, games, and more can do these things as well- in fact they can be superior in certain aspects- yet they miss a crucial piece of our society: you. You make a difference, you give society something it doesn't already have; and you the reader are what drives books to be that great that it is a requirement for you to master to graduate high school. ( Shout out to all the great English teachers out there; you know who you are...)

Not only is this a bad idea to burn a book a hazard for the safety of that person's arms; it destroys part of our world, and cannot be brought back. Remember, as Smoky the Bear always says, " Only YOU can prevent [book] fires."

So, why would anyone burn these portions of society? They don't know any better. It became a domino effect, where just one of us were like,"pfff. Books? What's their deal?" they spread their ignorance to rest of us until books become obsolete. We try to find dry happiness in TV and such, but we never can get that same vibe like literature; it gives you wisdom and wisdom is power. Oh yeah there's a book called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury about this, so try it, or if your stuck on your computer like most of us are, just keep this message in mind. Next time you try to torch Twilight because of its insane fan base, realize that it is something more to someone else. Also why do have a flamethrower?
