BILL OF RIGHTS FIRST AMENDMENT “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

WHEN DOES THE 1 ST AMENDMENT NOT APPLY? All speech – and expressive conduct – is presumed to be constitutionally-protected unless it falls into one of the following categories: (a) defamation (false statements of fact published to third parties); (b) child pornography; (c) obscenity; (d) damaging to national security interests; (e) fighting words; (f) verbal acts (shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater). The courts have concluded that the above-referenced categories of speech fall outside the ambit of constitutionally-protected expression, and therefore enjoy no First Amendment privileges. Certain other speech-related activity can also be restricted or criminalized, such as the advertising of illegal transactions, solicitation of criminal acts, and threats of bodily harm, such as assault.

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER Do groups of people have the right to censor books? How has censorship expanded to the internet? How does the movie industry self-censor? How does this relate to Bradbury’s point-of-view and the novel, Fahrenheit 451 ?

ALLEGORIES the expression by means of symbolic fictional figures and actions of truths or generalizations about human existence a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one Writers use allegory to add different layers of meanings to their works.

ALLEGORY VS. SYMBOLISM Although an allegory uses symbols, it is different from symbolism. An allegory is a complete narrative which involves characters, and events that stand for an abstract idea or an event. A symbol, on the other hand, is an object that stands for another object giving it a particular meaning. Unlike allegory, symbolism does not tell a story.

EXAMPLE OF AN ALLEGORY Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is an allegory that uses animals on a farm to describe the overthrow of the last of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and the Communist Revolution of Russia before WW II. Chronicles of Narnia, written by C.S. Lewis, is an allegory that uses animals to represent biblical people including God. Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, is an allegory representing his idea of human nature and a need to put self above the rest than the way he did with this acclaimed novel.
