Goverment taking over....

In this book, the government has big control over the people in the society. In this certain society books were not allowed to be in circulation. It was illegal to own a book. The government had the ability to burn your house down if there were books suspected to be in it. Some people felt that it was even necessary to stay in house while it was burning down. In this book the author is saying that the government can make you believe what they want you to believe. Nowadays books are very important to out everyday living. If someone were to say that all books were full of lies, no one would believe them. If the government made it a law then we would be forced to believe that books were all lies. This is also saying that certain bad things can happen when power is put into the wrong hands. In this society books were eliminated so no one could have a clue about the past. For some reason the government wanted it like that, and that's what happened. Hopefully in our future nothing like that ever happens.
