When Montag converses with her for the second time, she asks about how "[Montag picked his] work and how [he happened] to think to take the job [he has]"(Bradbury 21). The large amount of questions she has shows her curiosity as an individual and hints about how her philosophies distinguish her from the rest of society.]]> 2016-10-11 14:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129812445 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129812557 In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse McClellan is a person with a lot of knowledge. She tells Montag about how in the past firefighters would take out fires, how driving too fast would get you a ticket, and billboards being large. Clearly, Montag is new to this information as he exclaims, "I didn't know that!" (Bradbury 7). It is obvious that Clarisse knows information from the past that her society is not aware of. This can potentially mean that she read through the books that firefighters were suppose to burn, if the books contained information from the past. ]]> 2016-10-11 14:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129812557 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129812628 In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse McClellan is observant and critical of Montag's life. Her own lifestyle is different than what Montag is used to, and she points out the flaws in Montag's when they are talking together. She first asks, "Now, may I make you angry again?", and when Montag accepts, she says, "I think it's so strange you're a fireman, it just doesn't seem right for you, somehow" (Bradbury 21). She is observes how Montag lives, making Montag feel unsettled by how deeply Clarisse can analyze his own life and feelings.]]> 2016-10-11 14:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129812628 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129812643 In Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451 Clarisse McClellan is displayed as a crazy seventeen year old that seems to have a connection to the past. While Clarisse and Montag are walking home, Clarisse has so many questions and asks if "it [is] true that long ago firemen put fires out instead of starting them." (Bradbury 6). This is especially different in this book because everyone just does what there told and no one is allowed to read books. Firemen's jobs now are to start fires on books instead of extinguishing the flames. Clarisse is fully aware of the law but she still seems to be interested in breaking the law and continues asking questions about firemen to Montag since he is a firemen himself. This is how Clarisse is displayed throughout the novel, as a curious and crazy teenager. ]]> 2016-10-11 14:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129812643 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129812880 In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse McClellan is described as an observant and curious character who is always eager to find the answers of questions she has. Most of her questions defy the society that insists people not to think about the past nor future but live  the present with a rapid pace. She is different from others since she asks Montag if it is true that "long ago firemen put fires out instead of [starting] them (Bradbury 6)" and is interested in what the world was like in the past. ]]> 2016-10-11 14:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129812880 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813133 In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse McClellan is an observant and curious character who wants to be treated the same way she treats others however is seen to be abnormal. Upon her first encounter with Montag, she knew he was a fireman solely from the faint smell he gave off from his job. After some casual conversation, McClellan quickly realized that "you laugh when I haven't been funny and you answer right off. You never stop to think what I've asked you" (Bradbury 6). Clarisse desires to find someone who takes time to listen and understand her true meaning just as she does to them. Montag points out her flaws to which she replies she "love[s] to watch people too much" (Bradbury 6). Clarisse aknowledges the fact that she is fascinated by the body language of people she comes in contact with, sometimes coming off to be "too much" because her curiosity is unaccepted in her society.]]> 2016-10-11 14:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813133 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813180 In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit - 451, Clarisse McClellan is described as a character who pertains with nature. When Clarisse is outside with Montag, Clarisse picks up a dandelion and mentions, "If it rubs off, it means I'm in love" (Bradbury 19). Clarisse's for nature is considered odd in her society.

She asks questions that aren't typically asked, and is more observant than her peers. Clarisse often says things such as "'Have you ever watched the jet cars racing on the boulevards down that way?'" (Bradbury 6). Clarisse lives in an extremely fast paced society so her thoughts and observations would be deemed as an oddity in comparison to the people around her. She aspires to cause others, such as Montag, to think about their world in the way she does. ]]> 2016-10-11 14:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813566 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813611 Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse McClellan is shown to be a curious individual. When Clarrise asks, "Do you mind if I ask? How long've you worked at being a fireman?" ( Bradbury 5) This represents that she wants to be more aware of her surroundings and is an outcast towards the society.  Clarisse always desires to approach new things, thus meaning she has an eager thirst for knowledge. Her opinions and perspectives are different from the others in the world she lives in. ]]> 2016-10-11 14:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813611 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813674 In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse McClellan is portrayed as an individual who has intelligence beyond the capability of her peers. She doesn't have the same fast paced mindset and wonders what life would be if things were different. McClellan is exploring the idea of how drivers would identify objects because they go too quickly to see them for what they really are. She marvels at the idea of how this reaction would transpire, "if you showed a driver a green blur, Oh yes! he'd say, that's grass..." (Bradbury, 6). This idea couldn't be understood because the rest of society, outside of Clarisse's family, cannot comprehend why someone would think like this. Montag tells Clarisse she "think[s] too many things" (Bradbury, 6). Clarisse has a different understanding for life than her peers which makes her an individual. ]]> 2016-10-11 14:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813674 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813907 From the very beginning of the novel Fahrenheit-451 by Ray Bradbury, Clarisse McClellan is shown to be a very "odd" person. She is  considered different from everybody else because she likes to follow her own desires in life, not what she's expected to do. Clarisse is even in knowledge of her own abnormalities and when she first meets Montag she states, "I'm seventeen and I'm crazy" (Bradbury, 5). Nobody introduces themselves as a crazy person and even in a normal society. As simple at is, she's just different, she's isn't like everyone else and you cans see it through her words and actions. Clarisse McClellan lives in her own world of thinking and doing her own thing and she likes to express it to others and everyone can tell she is not your average person. Although as different as she is, she ]]> 2016-10-11 14:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129813907 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129814085 In Ray Bradbury's Farenheit-51, Clarisse Mclellan is represented as a very observant being. One instance is when she was walking with Montag, and brings up an obsevation, questioning Montag if he knew that "There's dew on the grass in the morning," (Bradbury 7).This illustrates how Clarisse is observant because she notices things that other people in her world wouldn't. The faced pace world she lives in does not have the time to notice such fine and small details, or any details at all quite frankly. The fact that she noticed it ]]> 2016-10-11 14:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129814085 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129987065 In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit-451. Clarisse Mclellan is noticed to be a different person out of all the people that she lives with in this fast paced society. This is because she takes the time to observe certain things that regular people normally miss. For example, when she was talking to Montag for the first time, she was asking him questions like "have you seen the two-hundred-foot-long billboards in the country beyond town? ... but cars started rushing by so quickly they had to stretch the advertising..." (Bradbury 7). It is evident that she noticing the small details from society that no one would even stop to think about, and that is the quality that makes her unique in society.]]> 2016-10-11 22:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/129987065 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/219583348 2018-01-09 00:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/219583348 https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/1230410884 2021-02-23 09:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/esoder/9l48lhqgz50x/wish/1230410884
