People have chosen to conform because individuality is rejected in a conformist society. Mrs. Phelps, a friend of Montag’s wife, is one of those who chose to conform. In the novel, they have always been told that books are evil which is why it must be burnt. She said, “ ‘I’ve always said poetry and tears, poetry and suicide and crying and awful feelings, poetry and sickness; all that mush! Now I’ve had it proved to me. You’re nasty Mr. Montag, you’re nasty!’ ” (101). In other words, she is agreeing to what society instilled to them about books. By shaming Montag, she conforms since she rejects him for his individuality. On the other hand, a seventeen year old girl named Clarisse McClellan is left out by society due to her individuality. She still conforms in some way, but maintains her individuality by following her heart. It was raining when Montag was on a

Clarisse is different from everyone else in that society; she acts slowly, she thinks, her uncle was even arrested once for being a pedestrian. After talking to Montag, she thought he was different -- he was peculiar. “ You're not like the others. I've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon, last night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking. Or

In the quote Clarisse id explain to Montag how her family says society used to be. This gives significance because it can demonstrate her family values that are looked down upon by society causing her to be separated from society. The McClellan’s are social with each other, “my mother and father and uncle sitting around, talking."(Bradbury 9). The quote shows that Clarisse’s family values sitting around and communicating with each other which is obscure to their society. The current society in Fahrenheit 451 doesn’t practice being social with each other instead they are distant with little communication making them think Clarisse’s family has abnormal

She is considered antisocial and odd by people including her teacher and classmates and the way she thinks and talks is different, “‘Well,’ she said, ‘isn’t this a nice time of night to walk? I like to smell things and look at things, and sometimes stay up all night, walking, and watch the sun rise.’” (5) The way her mind works is complex and unique to the society. Clarisse shows the side of people in her society who like books because she herself is a book reader and her unusual display of her knowledge represents the human side of this

I mean, however it happened, I’ll bet right up to the last minute he didn’t believe it would. Because it couldn’t. Not to him.’” Page 117 The author makes Mr. Clutter look like the bedrock of the family at the beginning of the novel.

As the conversation carries on between Clarisse and Montag, she begins to notice that Montag is different. She claims “You 're not like the others. I 've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon, last night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking. Or threaten me. No one has time anymore for anyone else. You 're one of the few who put up with me...He felt his body divide itself into a hotness and a coldness, a softness and a hardness, a trembling and a not trembling, the two halves grinding one upon the other” (Bradbury 11). Clarisse points out the unique qualities to Montag because whenever they talk, Montag reacts by looking at her or objects that she is talking about. She reveals that the average people cannot comprehend the concept of socializing or reflect on thoughts thus they relapse to a state of violence as a resort to stop thinking. Clarisse doesn’t persuade Montag to think like her, but influence Montag to think outside the box and increase his curiosity. Clarisse’s character going against the common social conformity activates a rare phenomenon inside Montag’s mind. Montag was given two paths, hence the cold and hot or soft and hard. One Path guides Montag down the path of individuality and the other path leads him to the normal society life. Clarisse was an individual who opens the doors to Montag to let him

At the beginning of the novel, capote describes the Clutter family as if they were living the ideal American dream. For example, they are well know and awfully admired by most, if not all town members. The citizens of Holcomb have great respect for Mr. Clutter, who is a successful farmer and provides for his family. Even Nancy the teenage murdered daughter is highly admired when spoken of her. The Clutters’ modest way of living shows that the American dream is simple in what it shows that every citizen should

Clarisse says, “I tell them that sometimes I just sit and think”(21). Finally, Montag is made aware of this simplicity. When he is trying to find happiness himself, he remembers that Clarisse finds contenment through siting, observing and thinking. Montag begins to notice that his wife is a foil as she had never done either one of those things. Bradbury supports Jameson’s quote of happiness by showing how Mildred is suicidal and has no connection with people and her only connection is with her “Family” in the walls on Television. Montag begins to find himself and starts to realize that he really doesn’t care about Mildred, that she is an empty vessel. Later in the book Montage feels a stronger connection to a girl that he has only spoken to a handful of times versus his own wife whom he is suppose to have a strong connection. When Montage almost died by getting run over he says, “I wonder if they were the ones who killed Clarisse! He wanted to run after them yelling. His eyes watered.” (114). Montag knew Mildred for years yet he realizes that when she leaves him she will never miss him or mourn him; Montag feels closer with Clarisse as marvels at her idea of happiness. Montag starts to develop deeper feelings about thoughtful people like Clarisse. He would cry for this girl he barely knew more than he would for his own wife whom he felt no connection to.

At first, Clarisse seemed like the only true individuals in the society. Eventually, Montag began to understand himself and act based on his own belief, judgements and will. Finally by this point, it becomes clear that the society is not running extinct with individuals, but after the city is now ruins, the surviving individuals can rebuild a better society. A better society would be one where books and their content is appreciated, there is a presence of mind and most importantly, the freedom to have an opinion and think. This quote represents that because Granger is saying that they will essentially just sit and attempt to remember all the content within the books they've read to rebuild and rewrite everything. This is possible because of

Judith Griggs, the editor of Cooks Source magazine, had published a piece on apple pie that was written by Monica Gaudio, a food blogger, without Monica’s permission. When Monica found out, she believed it was an accident and asked Judith for an apology and a donation of $130 to the Columbia School of Journalism. However, Judith, who believed that everything on the internet was public domain, gave Monica a half- hearted apology and refused to pay the money. As if that wasn’t enough, she proceeded to say that Monica was being unprofessional and should have been thankful that her story is so much better than how it originally was. Once the public found out about the incident, they started to write malicious comments on social media that

Structure is not a typical narrative structure, but rather a combination of chronological and deductive structures. Furthermore, these structures are then broken into their own sections, and in a sense, beginning the story telling anew. The knowledge of the impending death that looms towards the Cutters advance the story at a seemingly faster rate in anticipation of the murder the reader knows and expects to happen. However unlike Hickman’s idea of “shock and awe”, as mentioned before this is another method to divert the readers’ attention to the crime itself and away from any facts that may muddy the waters of their certainty. Soon after the Clutters are murdered, the balance of passages shift, and passages regarding the people and happenings of Holcomb, Kansas, are noticeable shorter than that of the frivolous endeavors after murder that Dick and Perry seek. Dick and Perry are only allowed to be focused on as people rather than the crime they committed at this point due to the fact that there is no doubt and an overwhelming amount of evidence that they are the Murderers. At the point, the reader’s view cannot be swayed. Similarly the background and history of Dick and Perry, nor the reasoning behind the murder of the Cutter family is not examined until well near the end of the novel, and the background that is provided is skewed to manipulate the readers’ thoughts.
