In this book, society is so technologically advanced that they read and write on computers. They have banned learning to write letters. Casia is thrilled when Ky teaches her to write letters in the dirt and is hungry to learn more. Her society does not want citizens learning to write or expressing their thoughts in writing with others. In a way, it is a form of keeping control over citizens. They are not allowed to write poetry, author books or any form of writing. Society has accepted 100 poems from the past, 100 books from the past, 100 songs and 100 works of art. There is no opportunity for anything more. I think society believes that this will stop citizens from thinking and being creative, and ultimately make them submissive.
