Society cannot function well at all, even if the books are burnt, there will always be someone going against society. Eventually after having a censored government for so long there will be a point where there will be a revolution or chaos in the society. Think about twenty or thirty years from now. If just a one or two people a year go against society, the numbers eventually go up. If this happens then eventually the people on the run will join up and revolt. On page 143 Bradberry writes about Montage meeting up with some people, and if enough people do this then there may be a revolt (Bradberry pg. 143).
Faber promised Montag that he would help him, and after Montag is on the run he still wishes to help.

    How Captain Beatty of Fahrenheit 451 Illustrates “The Mindset of Those Who Censor” Persis Karim said in The New Assault on Libraries, "Obviously, the danger is not in the actual act of reading itself, but rather, the possibility that the texts children read will incite questions, introduce novel ideas, and provoke critical inquiry." Set in the 24th century, Ray Bradbury’s book, Fahrenheit 451, depicts a society in which books have been outlawed by a government fearing an independent-thinking public. Enforcing this law through incineration of book material, homes, and even book owners is the duty of firemen, such as the Chief Captain Beatty, whose insidious personality makes him the quintessence of an antagonist. However, his contradictions

    “A time to keep silent and a time to speak,” (158) is a quote from the book Fahrenheit 451. This novel is all about how people conform to a society that burns books. They do so because they make people “think” thoughts that the government doesn’t want them to. Though there are some who are not conformed and read books to enlighten themselves to the ways of the past, that changes the way they see the present. Mildred, Faber, and Clarisse are characters that represent different aspects of conformity or nonconformity in the Fahrenheit 451 society.

    John Dos Passos once said, “Individuality is freedom lived.” The root of individuality lies in freedom. Without freedom, there is an inability to think for oneself and share one’s ideas. In a society where this freedom is lacking, people will not think for themselves and submit to whatever rule is enforced over them. In Fahrenheit 451, the government attempts to control freedom as a means towards reaching a perfect society.

Montag at times felt dismal, and very alone, but the voice in his ear, which was Faber was comforting. He was elated when he realized that with Faber, “He would be Montag-plus-Faber, fire plus water, and then, one day after everything had mixed and simmered and worked away in silence, there would be neither fire nor water, but wine” (pg 103). This shows that Montag knew that one day with the help of Faber he would emerge as an improved, educated, and

    Twelve Angry Men is in many ways a love letter to the American legal justice system. We find here eleven men, swayed to conclusions by prejudices, past experience, and short-sightedness, challenged by one man who holds himself and his peers to a higher standard of justice, demanding that this marginalized member of society be given his due process. We see the jurors struggle between the two, seemingly conflicting, purposes of a jury, to punish the guilty and to protect the innocent. It proves, however, that the logic of the American trial-by-jury system does work.
