How do the wanderers become books Fahrenheit 452?

The "wanderers" in Ray Bradbury's *Fahrenheit 452* are not the ones who become books. The wanderers are a group of people who are trying to preserve literature and knowledge in a world where books have been outlawed. They are led by Granger, and they live a nomadic life, traveling from place to place to avoid detection by the fire fighters.

The way books are preserved is through memorization. Each member of the group memorizes a specific book or set of books. This knowledge is passed down through generations, ensuring that the texts are not lost.

Here's how this works:

1. The Book People: The wanderers are called "book people" because they are the keepers of literature. They believe that books contain knowledge and wisdom that is vital for humanity.

2. Memorization: They learn books by heart, word for word. Each person has a specific book or books they are responsible for remembering.

3. Sharing and Passing On: The knowledge is passed down from one generation to the next. New members are taught the books by older members, ensuring the continuity of the knowledge.

4. Recitation: The book people occasionally gather and recite the books they have memorized. This act of reciting helps to keep the memories fresh and ensures that the stories are not lost.

The process of becoming a book is not a literal transformation. It's a metaphor for how knowledge and literature can be preserved through the human mind and passed on through generations.
