Fahrenheit 451

The Book

In Fahrenheit 451 books are burned on sight without exceptions. If I had the choice to save three books and "become" one, the first would be The Black Road which represents what greed and power can do to any kind of man. The second is A Spell For A Chameleon; it shows how if you're different in any way from society you will be exiled out of the "group". The Far Side Experience should be saved because it shows satire in the world around us.

In the world around us we see good men and women corrupted by positions of power and or money. In The Black Road, Kabraxis the demon corrupts a Priest of the Zakurumm church by offering him unlimited power and wealth. The way the demon corrupts other people is "the way of Dreams" which cures the person of whatever is wrong with them and sometimes making them wealthy. This is the book that I would "become" because I think it has the most meaning out of them all. That is why this book should be saved.

A Spell For A Chameleon should be saved because it shows how if you're different then society then they will exile you from it. In Xanth (the land in which the story takes place) everyone has a unique magical power and if yours isn't discovered by the time your 18 you are exile from Xanth into Mundane (normal realm). There is a powerful magician that can tell you if you have a power and he tells Bink (the main character) that his power is not only there but is very strong magic. Unfortunately this is how some societies today really are. The reason this book should be saved is it shows how you should not act towards somebody that is different from the majority.

The Far Side Experience should be kept because it shows satire in the world around us. Satire is a form of written that pokes fun at human weaknesses in hope to fix them. An example in this book is that it shows a kid at his birthday party and a liver truck is part of his party, he obviously doesn't like liver but smiles anyway. This represents satire in that even though somebody doesn't like something they will smile and lie that they like it. This can be wrong because people lie so others feelings aren't hurt and some just because they cannot

tell the truth. That is why that book should be kept.

So if the world
