The most disturbing setting of the book that I thought was 'burning books.' The world in Fahrenheit 451 doesn't allow the people to read books. So, the people only watch TV, watch TV, and watch TV. In their world, the term 'reading' seems to be disappeared. Unlike the world we live in, firefighters don't exist in their world; the firemen exist. Firemen are those who set fire on the books. People get disturbed by any kind of knowledge given to them, and report it to the fire station. Then, the firestation sends firemen, and the firemen burn every books they see.
I was disturbed by the setting they burn the books because books are one kind of source that helps the people to earn knowledge. I also like reading books during spare time, and find joy in the reading. So, I thought the restriction took out the joy from the people in the book, and was disturbed by it..
