Discuss the importance of remembering and understanding history. how does this become an issue in f451 and life today?

There must be something in books, something we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing.

Understanding history is important because we know what goes on in the past and why we are now and how species and countries were created. It shows how everything lead up until your daily life. It becomes a problem in F451 because wanting absolute power, they did not let any people know what things were going on.
