TS: In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and in Lupe Fiasco’s song “Words I Never Said” both explore the theme that fear causes people to remain silent in the face of wrong, even if the outcome is harmful for society.
CD: (Quote from F451 to prove the theme)
In Fahrenheit 451, Montag and Professor Faber discuss the fact that Faber could have spoken up when society outlawed books, “I saw the way things were going, a long time back. I said nothing. I’m one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the guilty , but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself” (82).

Similarly, Lupe Fiasco sings, “We scared of almost everything , afraid to even tell the truth”.

Lupe Fiasco – Words I Never Said Lyrics
Ft: Skylar Grey
Produced By: Alex Da Kid
[Hook: Skylar Grey]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you
Sometimes I'm like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that there's a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through
[Hook]
