We have become rebellious, and have started to challenge authority. At the moment we are not as naive as the children of the future, however, we are on our way. In regard to the burning of books, I think that this may become true farther in the future.Alex Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08219838340282412998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314591914640484740.post-57287005330371039942009-10-30T12:08:35.259-07:002009-10-30T12:08:35.259-07:00Kate-

I do not believe that children are naive, but more educated at a younger age. This means that they are starting to form their own opinions about life in general, which many times is the opposite of the parents, who believe in peaceful problem resolution. Tis cause them to lead a rebellious and more violent life.Dannyv2013https://www.blogger.com/profile/01418603931624398423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314591914640484740.post-25307664167228712062009-10-30T12:06:30.935-07:002009-10-30T12:06:30.935-07:00Miranda-

This is caused when he sees that Montag is also starting to read books, but is able to think even farther into the meaning of the book.
