How Did Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone Affect Society

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is also a frequently banned or challenged book because it contains magic,

Fahrenheit 451 created many ideas, such as true quality of books, purpose of why reading book are important, and if we stopped reading then the children from new generation will never read as well. Even though the internet and social media replaced our need of information, entertainment, and the books, the books shall be required to be read by everyone. Books have power, should be for everyone because books promotes knowledge to people, creates wider worldview, and keeps culture living through generation.
