While reading Fahrenheit 451, I came across the concept of banning the reading of books by people in the society. This idea was quite disturbing for me to envision because of the crucial part that books play in my life. I read when I am overjoyed and when I am depressed, I read when I am angry and when I am excited. Hence, I cannot imagine a world where I cannot turn to books for support or to provide me happiness.
However, such a scenario may soon hold true in our own society. This is because many people have completely stopped reading books in favour of other popular media, like- movies, television, etc…A lot of books have also been banned due to them containing content that hurts the emotions of a particular community/group of people. Therefore, the idea of completely banning the reading of books is not a long shot.
If something like this does occur in the future I do hope that some books still remain available for people to read. I wish those books would be the following- 1. The roll of thunder, 2. Oliver Twist, 3. Jane Eyre, 4. A doll’s house and lastly, Fahrenheit 451. I hope that these books remain available to read because these books present many great ideas to the world and most importantly they hold stories about the humankind. In conclusion, I would say that books should never be banned but if that holds true in the future, some books should be spared.
