1) Montag compares Mildred (his wife) to Clarisse and says that Clarisse seems older. In what way does Clarisse act more mature and WHY do you think she is more mature? Why does Bradbury (the author) make the contrast between the two?
Clarisse acts more mautre then Mildred in many different ways. One way she acts more mature is by always making time to talk to others and is still motivated to talk to others no matter how many times people ignore her. I also believe that she is more mature because although she is living in a world where everybody is too busy to stop and converse with others she still has courage to talk to them. Another reason why I believe she is more mature is because she takes pieces of information that her uncle gives her and ponders it which is more than Mildred does all day. Clarisse actually is more mature in my opinion because she is a young girl with a great imagination and she tries to share that with everyone no matter how many times people refuse to listen. Also because she is bright for a young girl and she understands what true happiness is even with all the things going on in her world. I feel that the author made the contrast between the two because Montag has known Mildred longer than he has known Clarisse and yet he feels the same way about both of them. Another reason I feel he contrasted them is because he is comparing the "average" person to an "outcast".
