Fahrenheit 451
This book was about a society that wasn't allowed to read books. The firemen were the ones supposed to put all the books on fire if they found out people had them. "Guy Montag is a fireman who burns books in a futuristic American city. In Montag’s world, firemen start fires rather than putting them out. The people in this society do not read books, enjoy nature, spend time by themselves, think independently, or have meaningful conversations. Instead, they drive very fast, watch excessive amounts of television on wall-size sets, and listen to the radio"Seashell Radio” sets attached to their ears."

I think you should have added a little more on your description about the book because I didn't really get a lot from it. But I think that this can relate to one of the amendment where they should have given them freedom because it is unfair that if they saw someone reading they would burn the book thats not right and that is taking their freedom away. I am also a little confused on a part where you state, "The people in this society do not read books, enjoy nature, spend time by themselves" like what do you mean by this do they not enjoy nature and spend time by themselves ?
