Julio Ramos_Final exam

compare/contrast 2 key charecters_farenheit 451
These two charectersd help develop the themes in farenheit 451 by being complete opposites. in a world were almost every one is socialy the same Clarrise chooses to be herself(unsocial, wierd, ETC...). Mildred like everyone else does what everyone else does to be accepted/popular. Together they help the main charecter Montag realize that his life isnt what he wants it to be. When he meets clarrise he notices that she is differentand begins to take interest in things he used to ignore. At home he gets tired of every thing being the same with his wife mildred. Clarrise spends her time doing some thing new every day like watching grass grow, explores every where she can go ETC. Mildred sits home watching soap operas like all the other wifes and pretends she is in them, and talks with other wives about what they saw ETC. Slowly he began to change his thoughts, and life styles what used to be right to him became wrong. Clarrise was happy with being an out cast she didnt need any one to have a good time. Mildred just got through the days unhappy, she even tried to kill herself. Another difference is that clarrise is a young student and mildred is older and has no career or any thing to look forward to but her soap operas. After a while montag starts to read books when his job was to burn them, his life turned around 180 degres in the time we read about his life. The differences/similarities are endless in the book farenhiet 451 but both clarrise and mildred payed a role in montags transformation into the person he becomes at the end of the story.
