The books are symbolizing information which gets hidden by the government(the books get burned) for people to be “happy”(they don’t want bad news and irritating information). It shows how people would rather stare at their screens and absorb useless information that makes them feel good, instead of building an opinion of their own by reading books(getting exposed to different views, messages) which is exactly what the government wants. Why let people think if you can wash out their brains by burning books and letting them forget that they can protest against this war that can potentially kill them? Instead they just watch stupid shows because they don’t know they can do something else. It is better for them, they say, they feel happy.
KOJA BULJČINA OD KNJIGE Pročitao sam je za 2 dana dok sam imao koronu i bio u izolaciji i zažalio što sam trošio vreme na to. Priča je glupa, brat moj se bori protiv ustaljenog režima i pobeđuje ga tako što samo POBEGNE NIZ ULICU, PREĐE IZA UGLA, ZAPALI NEKE LJUDE U STILU AKCIONOG FILMA I SKOČI U REKU! Njegova žena je kao "površna", brat moj je ostavio na keca za neku devojčicu (🧐) Kao svet je pod nekom oštrom kontrolom, a lik može da ima šizo cepanja u javnosti i da IZNEZE KNJIGU PRED LJUDE i da prođe nekažnjeno, ni otkaz nije dobio! Kakvo je to društvo koje uči knjige napamet i njihove ličnosti postaju knjige??? I oni bi trebalo da su dobri likovi!? Pre bih izabrao ove pto ih pale...
Nisam bila ovoliko ljuta dok sam čitala otkad sam pročitala Orvelovu Životinjsku farmu. Stoga, nesumnjivo da je ova knjiga ostavila popriličan utisak na mene.
