Knowledge is a very powerful resource in our society. Knowledge can change our lives, for better and for worse. Books have always been our main source of knowledge aside from first person accounts. But in Montag 's society, books are a bad source of knowledge. If you know too much, your offend the minorities. If you don 't know enough, you 're offended by the people who know more than you.

People who know more become; the leaders, CEO 's, presidents, rulers, while the people who know less are the working class groups; the farmers, the cashiers, the employees.
