of young people” (Vonnegut, 190). This is the same reason why books are banned in the society of “Fahrenheit 451”. Officials are afraid that people will get certain ideas and use it against them. Officials do not want people to know about certain stuff out of fear. The books are banned because of varying fears that some officials have. “Fahrenheit 451” by Bradbury and the letter “You Have Insulted me” by Vonnegut, Jr contain a similar political and social theme in ways. “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury and “You Have Insulted me” a letter by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
contain a different political and social. In “Fahrenheit 451” all books get burnt. In “You Have Insulted me” the school that is being talked about is only burning certain books of authors that they do not particularly like. “I am among those American writers whose books have been destroyed in the now famous furnace of your school” (Vonnegut, 189). In the fictional society of “Fahrenheit 451” all books are banned because the leaders do not want people to have any of their own ideas. The leaders want to give the people ideas instead of them getting their own. But the school that the letter “You Have Insulted me” is addressed to only certain books are allowed. Why this is the case is the school does not want the kids to have the same ideas as the authors because they think they are bad. The school is letting the kids have their own ideas as long as it is not the same as the ideas as the authors of whom their books are getting burned. “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury and “You Have Insulted me” a letter by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. contain a different political and social in
ways. /
“Fahrenheit 451” written by Ray Bradbury contains its own unique political and social theme. “You Have Insulted me” a letter written by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. also contains its own unique political and social theme. The political and social themes are similar along the lines that the leaders of the society are afraid people will get ideas and over throw them. The political and social themes are different along the lines that one society believes that people should not have their own ideas and the other believes that people are fine to have their own ideas as long as it’s not certain ideas that the leaders do not agree upon. “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury and “You Have Insulted me”, a letter by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., contain a similar yet different political and social theme.
