Fahrenheit 451 pgs. 21-40

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 mature in a way that she kind of takes the time to look at life and nature. She acts like shes that only non-"brainwashed" character in this book. Bradbury makes a connection between the two because they both seem very different in many ways yet I think they have similiar moods.

2) How are the people in the novel – both children and adults - similar and/or different from people today?
The people in the book don't seem to have any free will, they just go about their lives how the goverment and firefighters want them to. Because in our lives we have more choices and options we can choose to decide our own actions.
