Blog #9: Censorship

A world without books would be a terrible place, the world would be filled with ignorant, dumb people who are addicted to TV just like Montag's wife.  Everyone would be so plugged into technology, more so than they are today, that they wouldn't even notice the world around them.  I would miss having books around so much, I really like reading in my spare time and for relaxing.  I would probably still try and read books and try to hide it if I weren't allowed to anymore.  Whenever Hollywood makes a movie out of a book they are metaphorically "burning books", because the movie is never as good as the book, it lacks detail and takes away the reader's imagination.  One of my favorite parts of reading books is being able to create an image in my head of what is going on in the book, but whenever I go see the movie of a book I read it never looks anything like what I imagine.  Movies and TV ruin the imagination that reading sparks, if we were to ban all books our society would become simple minded and there would be no originality.
