1)What do you find confusing? What is something you don’t understand?
I don't really get who Clarisse is, And as the author states her leaving out of the story. It makes me wonder, what was the purpose of the author including her in this book, and why does Montag always compare her to his wife.
2) 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?
I dont think that they are both exactly the same, because obviously they have grown up in different area's brought up a certain way, and life seperate lives, which I think causes the maturity level to be mixed up. The only reason I think that Clarisse seems older is because she is a young teenager doin things that most teens wouldnt do. She ponders on the past and the future, and the worlds beauty. Not just with another teen, with a 30 year old man. As for Montags wife, she is very immature. For one, trying to commit suicide. And as for the author's contrast between the two. In my opinion he is wanting to compare an older lady, who has experience with down emotions and gone through many struggles, as to the younger lady who in very inexperienced but also very intelligent for her age, and understands what is going on around her.

Whats up nice descriptive writing Dylan because it is very intereting you describe how Montag's wife and Claresse have grown up in different ways. Also how you say that Claresse is different from most teens. You say that she is weird which can tell a lot about someone.
Very nice.
The fact that Clarisse is acting 'older' than the people her age is an interesting view on Montag's opinion.
I liked it very much about how you described Clarisse, and explained why she was different from Montage’s wife. How she was more mature then she was, and how she differed form teens today. I think one thing that you can add to this is that, you should better describe about how Clarisse is different from the teens these days, compared to her. What we do now and what she did.
