Power of Books (Jazlin)

I believe Beatty is trying to say that books have a power that draws you towards them and if you read them you get very passionate to know whats next you keep reading. I think his society thought it was easier to ban books than to teach people to think because either they were worried where thinking people would lead them. For example it could lead them to where a lot people fight for their rights their own freedom or some it could drive them to madness thinking is powerful thing that can really set you off. But thinking has very affects a lot of people get smarter and create things. Do I see this happening in our world, I would say yes but honestly it's to late for that, if there were a reason to ban/burn books I think it would because technology is just to advanced and they don't see a reason for them. We already have where to buy books online and read through ipad's, kendle's, computer's and ect. But there really isn't a reason I see to ban books unless it's that about the technology, because to make people stop thinking that won't do anything.
