Government Censorship In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451

In Fahrenheit 451, the novel censorship is an integral part of the novel. The firemen burn the books, and potentially your home if books were found inside. They do not believe in getting an education. The only education that the people receive is the one that the government provides for them. In Fahrenheit 451, the books are such a big deal, if a person manages to get caught with one then the person risks being killed. In history, there has been evidence that government interferes with civilian lives. Government interference is an issue that people have had to endure since the beginning of time.

Types of entertainment are music, shows, performances. In Fahrenheit 451 they do not have a lot of entertainment in their lives, but now there are so many different types of entertainment. In Fahrenheit 451, they do not have any internet. That is why the citizens read books, since they have no internet. The government does not want the citizens to read or to have any knowledge. Other than what they want them to know. The only knowledge that they receive is the one that the government gives them.
