Clemmie Sue Jarvis, an elderly vivacious pig farmer lives in Wrongberight, a farming hamlet on the eastern shores of Virginia. Late Saturday afternoon she hauls ass out of her driveway and turns south on Grayson Road. Instantly she transforms into the sex kitten Danica Patrick on the last lap of the Daytona 500. The crowd is cheering her on, she can see the checkered flag waving in the breeze, so she puts the pedal to the metal and the speedometer reaches 157mph. The sound of thunder in the distance quickly brings her back to reality. Moreover, to the fact that her rusty Chevy pickup, held together with hairpins, bubble gum, and duct tape, has a maximum speed of only 30mph.

As soon as she shut the door, she realizes Clemmie Sue never replaced the broken window on the passenger side. She automatically searches under the seat, finds a large black plastic trash bag, a roll of bright orange duct tape, and creates a makeshift window. While she sits there shivering, glances around, catches a glimpse of a tattered bath towel behind the driver’s seat, and grabs it.

All too soon she discovers three Mother of Peal buttons missing from the front of her dress and her fancy bun no longer fancy and her yellow satin shoes satin encrusted with mud. Using the towel, she removes the thick mud from her shoes. Afterwards, she pulls a bent safety pin, a broken comb, and several rusty hairpins from her purse and begins to repair what the storm had torn

Montag was walking down the street one night and saw a young girl. “Her head was half bent to watch her shoes stir the circling leaves. Her face was slender and milk-white and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity.” (5). Clarisse is a girl who likes to venture out in her life and wonder about everything and everyone. As Montag and Clarisse were walking she told him “I sometimes think drivers don’t know what grass is, or flowers, because they never see them slowly.” (9).

As Montag talks to Clarisse about his job, and now Clarisse is really nosey about everything, she asks him, “Is it true that long ago firemen put fires out instead of going to start them? I heard once that a long time ago houses used to burn by accident and they needed firemen to stop the flames.” (8). With Clarisse and her curiosity, she asked Montag so many questions about his job and wouldn’t stop bugging him as she wanted to get to know more and more about

When she turns onto Millers Way a narrow two-lane country road, on which Estelle Louise’s home is located, instead of reducing her speed she increases, because she knows the road as well as her favorite song, the Star Spangle Banner.

Judith Jarvis Thompson criticizes the fetus being a human. To prove her point, Thompson plays along with it, but then uses the acorn as an oak tree argument to prove the point that a fetus is not a human being. Thompson then grants it again, saying that the fetus at ten weeks, looks alike a human, but then mentions again that an acorn is not a oak tree. Thompson then grants that the fetus has a right to life, and uses the violinist story. The story goes as follows, a famous violinist has kidney disease, and they really need him to perform. Person A is kidnapped, and is the only person that can help the violinist. Person A wakes up hooked up to the violinist. Thompson's point is comparing the kidnapping to a woman who doesn't want to continue
