While reading the book I noticed how Montag described himself when he was stealing the book from the house. He described how he feels about himself by stating that "His hands had been infected, and soon it would be his arms. He could feel the poison working up his wrists and into his elbows and his shoulders." This quote from the book stood out to me because Bradbury seems to use a lot of metaphors while writing. This metaphor explains how Montag's conscience and body reacts towards books.

Throughout the book, I was wondering, "How did Clarisse have knowledge about the world before?" It's strange how someone in a dystopian world has knowledge about the world before that time.

# data[].attributes.body
The main thing I was wondering is why does this society have such a huge fear of knowledge? I was also wondering what is happening with Montag.

# data[].attributes.body
In this book, the society is in fear of the knowledge and curiosity the books will give to the citizens, what is the main reason they are doing this? What event occurred which caused the world to be like this?

I wonder if Clarisse will change Montag views on the world. I think that she will persuade Montag to think something else because she is talkative, observative, and imaginative.

i just had a couple questions why did the main character do what he did and over all i thunk the book is great so far its something new for a lot if us and its very interesting

When reading the book, I always thought that Clarisse's death was not really an accident. So my question is, Was Clarisse death caused by someone, a suicide or was it just a car accident? I believe this because she was always called, "crazy" and simply not what other people from her school would want to be around with. In the book she does not fit in with the other teenagers and tells Montag that she is scared of them.    - Michelle Pagalunan

I was wondering will Clarisse help montag and change the way he thinks on things. The way her personality is she seems like she would be very helpful and give him a different perspective on life.

I was wondering what was going on with Montag. I'm very curious to know that is it true that Montag had a serious illness that was not curable, or just a sick time to the whereas would be shown as a common mishap: flu or fever.

# data[].attributes.body
Was the death of Clarisse truly what they said it was? I feel like there was more to her death than just her getting “hit by a car”. Clarisse was definitely different, she was pretty much the odd one of the group and had a different mindset than other people who are her age. Clarisse questioned a lot of things about the world and the different things that people did, especially how the firemen worked. I feel like she knew too much, was a little too curious and that could have played a part in her death. After her death her family left, and I wonder if this just has something to do with the government. Her death was clearly a shock to me but something about the way her character was written stood out, and I guess that gave me the feeling that somewhere along the road something would happen to her.

Was Montag actually sick, or was it just a "sick to my stomach" type of sick? I'm just curious to see if his sickness was psychosomatic, because he needed an excuse to avoid going to work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Clarisse will change Montag's view about the world. She is a very observant person and spends a lot of time thinking. I think she will help Montag look at the world from a different perspective and think about the little things in life.

In this dystopian future firemen are meant to burn books. This is most likely done because it’s getting rid of power in a sense. Books provide information which  in turn allows people to use it to their advantage in whatever their desire is. It’s odd how the government in the story has changed so dramatically compared to our current reality in real life. The even more peculiar aspect is that nobody seems to question it. Its only Clarisse and her family. This leads to my question as to why Clarisse and her family are the only people  concerned and question why books are needed to be burned.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is it that the firefighters must dispose of the books, or works of literature in general, at the scene of the "crime"? Is it not possible to take the literary compositions, bring them to an area that is free of people and other potential items that are flammable, and proceed to light the blaze there? Perhaps it is more convenient to burn the books in the buildings they were residing in, since they are fire-proof and are able to withstand the flames, but going through the hassle ensures the safety of neighboring civilians, and prevents situations akin to the one Montag had experienced, with the old woman perishing with her books, from occurring. Perhaps this very event had to take place in order for Montag's character to develop, making the setup necessary, but I can't help but find it odd that they do not consider to take any safety precautions in order to protect their citizens and prevent—or at least reduce—their chances of getting caught in the inferno.

I wonder if Clarisse will help Montag's views change? He is already starting to see things differently, as he has books now. I just wonder if he'll start basing his new personality off of Clarisse.

A simple yet pestering observation that I've noticed is that nobody seems to feel any sort of "love" in this society. When asked, Mildred didn't exactly respond whether the "White Clown" or if her 'family' loved her. She just countered back with a question, "why would you ask a silly question like that?", and told him to give the hound a kick if he sees it outside their door. Tracing back to when Clarisse had the sunflower and when Montag put it under his chin, she stated that he wasn't in love. It's very upsetting to see that they don't exactly "love" anyone around the area, that they're so brainwashed that they can't feel full emotions. I just wonder how many people are out there, like Clarisse or Montag, that question their morals and the society's regulations.

When Clarisse looked at the salamander on Montag's arm and the phoenix disc on his chest, she noticed Montag was a fireman. This means the salamander and the phoenix symbolize firemen. I wonder why they are symbolic animals for firemen and what they imply.

# data[].attributes.body
Was clarisse's death a murder? the government that is shown in this alternate society is very oppressive. they have been shown to go to extreme measures to hide information. I don't think murder is too much for them. throughout history we have seen real governments do this. the ussr is a good example. people who spoke out would "disappear" or die in "accidents". the society in this book does seem to take some inspiration from those kinds of governments.

If a fireman's job is to start fires and the handymen could be a EMT, are there more jobs that are all the jobs in this world "different" or is it only a few jobs? Why is Clarisse and her family the only ones that are normal?

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that Montag and Clarisse have very contrasting views on the world and personalities. How do you think Clarisse affected the way Montag now sees things? Do you think her character is significant in Montag's character development?

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Montag realizes that all the firefighters in his group looks like him. I wonder if this happens to other jobs. If the government picks people for jobs only based on looks?

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if there are more people like Clarisse in this world. Clarisse is someone who's really curious about what happens around her but no one else in the world, like Montag, just lived life in routine without question. Montag slowly started to change but people around him still

I noticed that whenever Montag is near the Mechanical Hound, he feels threatened by it. The Mechanical Hound tracks down and kills fugitives that keep books. Page 24 explains that Montag is hiding something behind the ventilator grille at his house that the other firemen would disapprove of. Does Montag own a secret stash of books? Is that why he feels so intimidated by the Mechanical Hound?

While reading the very beginning of the book I found it interesting how the author introduced Montag and Clarisse. My question is if the begininng of the book has anything to do with the climax of the book mainly clarisse's and Montag's personality traits?

# data[].attributes.body
Something I noticed while reading the book is that Clarisse seems to represent a ghost or spirit sent to nudge Montag into making a change in their messed up world. I mainly thought about this because she randomly appeared to Montag one night, her features are pale with dark eyes, and she seems to be the only one that is "woke" in their community.

# data[].attributes.body
We see in the story that Montag doesn't like being around the hound and the hound doesn't like being around Montag. I get why Montag might not want to be around it, but why does the hound try to hurt him whenever he's around?

The EMT's that pumped blood into Mildred's stomach indicated that "accidental" overdoses on pills happen all the time, and that they receive cases that are similar to Mildred's every day. Why do people overdose on pills frequently? What was the point of the EMT's giving her a contrasedative? Why do they want Mildred to lose the memory of her overdose?

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if Clarisse's death will have any major impact on Montag's perspective of life. Did she really get run over or was she killed by the government?

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if Clarisse will be the reason for a big change in Montag? I know he has began to realize some different things, but what about a change in his whole mindset?

# data[].attributes.body
I was wondering... Why is Clarisse unaffected like the others? Why is she the only one "awake" with her family?

Fireman sets fire and handymen can be used as EMT, so there are so many opposite jobs in this worldview?

Does the period of time that book itself was written influence the story?  Is the author trying to convey a certain message that he wants us as readers to understand (is he addressing any sort of global issue current to the time period the book was created)?

Montag shows signs of caring for Mildred, but Mildred does not seem to care about anything. Does their relationship seem normal or abnormal?

# data[].attributes.body
Montag started to think if firemen use to put off fires instead of burning books. Why did it say that Benjamin Franklin was the first fireman? Was this a way of the government controlling the people's minds? Would Clarisse be considered the "woke" in that society?

How did Clarisse's uncle manage to survive for so long, even though he knows so much about the past, and other "dangerous knowledge"?
I also wonder how all these different technologies were developed in this country even though there is constant war, and all books and specialized knowledge are basically banned.

Is the fireman job to start fires? Why does he seem happy after he started the fire? And why was he watching the books fly away instead of stopping it?

Mildred uses her Seashells similar to modern people using Airpods. They seem to be in her ears at all times, with anything playing. It doesn't allow her to actually think. Are people today thinking with the constant sounds in their ears? I wonder...

I think it's interesting that Clarisse gets Montag thinking by asking questions--and now Montag is beginning to ask questions. Maybe that's the first step in becoming aware and self-conscious--asking questions.
