Theme


What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2008?


The major theme of this novel was the message of censorship. When one group objects to something someone has written, that book is changed and censorship begins. There would be more objections from the group and the books will be banned. Society has developed extreme that literature is illegal to possess. No longer can books be read. Not only because they are complex, might it lead to revolutions and war. The intelligence obtained by reading can be dangerous to the government, and the government doesn't want to put up with this danger. The government ignores the benefits of knowledge. Knowledge can be dangerous but the book that contains knowledge of the past, it prevents man from making similar mistakes in the past and future.

This is theme is important to a teenager living in 2008 because teenager is the period where we get sensitive. This is the time where we feel we are ignored and fool. Sometimes we read books because our parents tell us. We should spend time reading in a quiet place to calm ourselves. Many teenagers commit suicide. We don't want to think for ourselves and solve the troubles of the world. If they were not thinking but let the person think for them they would feel depressed. We need time to think for ourselves. To think for one you can expand one's knowledge of history. We can achieve this by studying of books. Books teach us lessons and encourage us not to make similar mistakes. Book is a good teacher for us.

I disagree about this entry unfortunately. I think that this book is important to students and teenagers in 2008 because students will be directly involved in the society as they grow up, and will have to face the problems themselves. If us students don't start gaining knowledge and read books, the world will become as corrupted as the society in the book.
