Clarisse is very laid back, calm and carefree while Montag is very structured, cautious and serious.

She makes him think about his life and question everything from one simple conversation. Also, the author gives characteristics of Clarisse that are pure and clean while Montag is an older fireman doused in Kerosene. https://padlet.com/bbaran/ntpjws3vz8u2/wish/129080002 HD/NC]]> 2016-10-07 11:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bbaran/ntpjws3vz8u2/wish/129080002 https://padlet.com/bbaran/ntpjws3vz8u2/wish/129080200 Bradbury creates contrast by making two characters with opposite personality traits. By making Clarisse more social than Montag. Montag has confusion with what happened, he was confused about Clarisse being so friendly with him when they didn’t even know each other.

Montag is not as much as a freethinker and is very structured.

Clarisse seems to be more outgoing and saying whats on her mind, while Montag seems to be hiding himself, he says that he is happy but Clarisse helps him realize that he actually isn’t. “He was not happy, he was not happy. He said the words to himself. He recognized this as the true state of affairs. He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back.”

Montag is a very shy, non talkative, older, person and doesn't have a talkative family. Clarisse is a very talkative person, and is younger, and has a very talkative/involved family.

He wasn't used to hearing talking with-in houses. Clarisse has a more upbeat attitude where she is able to easily spark conversation. https://padlet.com/bbaran/ntpjws3vz8u2/wish/129081397 F.S.  C.G.
