16 In this futuristic novel, Guy Montag is a "fireman" who burns books for the government. Anyone caught with books is in violation of the law and subject to punishment. Fortunately, some people refuse to let books disappear forever.

17 The United States government tries to create the perfect society by making people work the jobs they assign and controlling the technology.

19 Everything and everyone is the same in Jonas’s community. That’s the best way to make sure no one gets hurt. The community leaders choose everything for you – your name, your family, your job, your hobbies, your world. But what happens when someone wants more than the same?
