Read the poem , “Burning a Book” below by William Stafford Protecting each other, right in the center a few pages glow a long time. The cover goes first, then outer leaves curling away, then spine and a scattering. Truth, brittle and faint, burns easily, its fire as hot as the fire lies make— flame doesn’t care. You can usually find a few charred words in the ashes. And some books ought to burn, trying for character but just faking it. More disturbing than book ashes are whole libraries that no one got around to writing—desolate towns, miles of unthought in cities, and the terrorized countryside where wild dogs own anything that moves. If a book isn’t written, no one needs to burn it— ignorance can dance in the absence of fire. So I’ve burned books. And there are many I haven’t even written, and nobody has. Respond to the question below. Consider the poem’s message. Refer the lines, “ If a book isn’t written, no one needs to burn it— ignorance can dance in the absence of fire.” Respond to the question below. What are your thoughts about an audience not agreeing with what you have worked hard to create?
