Yes, this difference will be positive because more people can be free and enjoy life. The book burners will remember their mistakes and tell everyone so they can learn from them to prevent them from happening again. Bradbury wrote " Come on now, we're going to go build a mirror factory first and put out nothing but mirrors for the next year and take a long look in them. (157)"

I don't think the books they carry inside themselves will help because they're "not in control" and they're "the odd minority crying in the wilderness". People won't listen to them if they are only a small group. As read in the text they need to "pass the books on to our children, by the word of mouth, and let our children wait, in turn, on the other people."(146) This will eventually show that books can have a positive affect on people.

I believe the books will have a positive impact on their lives because itll teach people not to ignore there ignorance like farber when he says "I shoved my ignorance in peoples faces. They beat me with stakes. By the time i was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and youll never learn." see farber didnt ignore his ignorance and he is a wise person and he learned from experience

They think they do believe the books that they are carrying is an opportunity to change the world but they are too afraid to speak out because they need more people to join them. On page 145 Granger is explaining why they are afraid and why they are book burners, "We read the books and burnt them, afraid they'd be found... Better to keep it in the old heads, where no one can see it or suspect it."

I believe that books will make a difference in their society. If we lost books in our society I guarantee that eventually this is how our worlds will turn. We always have to remember the past how how terrible it is. There's a saying that "the past always repeats itself" but if we really truly educate our children and generations after us with books, this terrible world in this book will not turn reality for us. "Come on now, we're going to go build a mirror factory first and put out nothing but mirrors for the next year and take a long look in them." (157) This is basically saying we need to look at our past, we need to remember our past, and do everything we possibly can so the terrible things do not happen again.
