Post 7, prompt 11

The author commonly used contradicting statements and ironic tones. This helps to farther the book's lessons and made it more enjoyable to me. The contradicting statements felt right at home with the atmosphere created. The government censors books and employs people to burn them but Beatty, head of the firemen, used to read books himself. That along with irony shows that any one who wants to stop the spread of knowledge does not have your well being in mind.
