Republic by Plato
Granger's group in Fahrenheit 451 memorizes various great works of literature and philosophy, including The Bible, the works of Shakespeare, Plato's Republic, and the Declarations of Independence and Constitution. They preserve these works by committing them to memory as a way to pass on knowledge to future generations in a society where books are banned.
The group of people who memorize books in Fahrenheit 451 are known as the "Book People" or the "hobos" who wander the countryside, each dedicating themselves to memorizing a specific book or literary work in order to preserve its contents. They represent a resistance to the oppressive society that burns books and promotes conformity.
In "Fahrenheit 451," people are left with only a few remaining publications, such as TV parlor walls, government-controlled radio broadcasts, and a small network of rebels who memorize and recite books to preserve their content. The majority of books and written materials have been banned and burned by the government.
To exercise their memory.
You will need a strong background in science: you will be studying for a medical degree, and the courses will include anatomy, physiology, psychology, and specific courses about the internal workings of the human body. You will need to learn techniques for diagnosing various diseases, and what certain symptoms mean. You will need to know how to do medical research, so that you can keep up with new findings that may be useful to your area of expertise. You will need to project a confident but calming manner, so that you can put a patient at ease (many patients are scared when they see a doctor). You will need to listen carefully to the patient, so that you can understand his or her symptoms: this will be necessary in order to diagnose, or to identify possible reasons why the patient is not feeling well. Sometimes, a good doctor is like a detective-- gathering information, knowing what tests to order, doing research, and figuring out the problem. You will also need to possess manual dexterity, since you may be performing surgery or handling medical equipment or doing a physical exam. Some doctors are specialists, and they must acquire a thorough knowledge of the particular area in which they want to practice: gynecology, oncology, internal medicine, surgery, etc. Above all, a doctor must have a love of the medical field and a dedication to helping patients.

The difference between memorize and remember is that memorize occurs in real time whereas people remember what happened long ago.
Most people have to repeat something twenty times or more to memorize it -- not just see it but concentrate and try to learn it.
its a special gift that only some people are born with called photographical memory. its when whenever you look at somthing you memorize it. You cant teach your eyes to do that
Officially Celsius, though some people still think in Fahrenheit.
No but there was this one man who memorized 1 thousand out of one millon
Very few people actually understand. Most just memorize and repeat.
Yes, people are conditioned to name and categorize things -- it's just something we do naturally. So putting things into categories helps us understand them better, which helps us memorize them more easily.
