Give a meaningful response to your research question, following the CR model (Claim, Reasoning), each item should be one sentence:

Claim (answer to the RQ): How can Nazi Book Burning relate with Fahrenheit 451? And how does it compare Fahrenheit 451 and the Nazi Book Burning?

Reasoning:
Nazi Book Burning is related with Fahrenheit 451 because both talk about the burning books and how it was a revolutionary situation in the world because as
Montag he knew it was a problem for him in Fahrenheit 451 and in the Nazi Burning Book revolutionary situations they really didn’t changed anything but it
was a way to make themself notice.
