As the wise Garrison Keillor once said, "A book is a gift you can open again and again." In the novel "Fahrenheit 451," by Ray Bradbury, it is a realistic fiction about a world where books are a sin. Throughout the novel, there are many lessons that can relate to the society lived today. The first lesson is books should be protected at all costs.

"No, there are no copies left in the world.  Faber replied suspiciously and worried. This is an example that books are always being defended and protected. This is just one of the many lessons learned throughout the novel. The second lesson is censorship is evil. An example of how censorship is evil is when Mildred tries to commit suicide and the aftermath causes her to forget about her old life and becomes very bland.

You don't stay for nothing" (51). This explains how he has so much to say but because of censorship, he cannot make justice to this world. Not only is this a very impo
