1/19 Fahrenheit 451 Assignment pp. 21-40

1) Guy compares his wife and Clarisse and thought that Clarisse seemed older in some ways compared to Mildred. Montag thinks Clarisse seems more mature because she notices things such as how the kids in her class are killing each other and how it is wrong. She also does all the shopping and cleans her house by hand. Guy also thinks that Clarisse is more social then most people in the traditional way, by actually talking, everyone else just sits in groups and watches movies and listens to the radio. Mildred on the other hand is older then Clarisse but does not show that much signs of maturity. She doesn’t seem to take a break at anytime from entertaining herself and she never has thinks or worries about things. For instance she is always listing to the family and has the seashells in her ears; she’s just always doing something. Also, Mildred accidentally killed herself and she doesn’t even really care that she did.
