Clarisse Characterazation

                     Clarisse is one of the Main Characters in the book I am currently reading, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I imagine Clarisse as more of a mysterious character, as if she is a character who you don't really know much about even though she can be outspoken and stand out. I can see Clarisse being a taller girl with a long blonde hair and Pale skin. I can imagine Clarisse to have a soft expression on her face as if no expression at all. I think one of the most important quotes in the book so far said by Clarisse would be when she says " I'm antisocial, they say. I don't mix, its so strange. I'm very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social,  doesn't it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this. " I think this really defines who Clarisse is she's outgoing yet shy, shes crazy yet scared. She's what people don't expect her to be. She questions things she shouldn't be questioning like the burning of books. Montag who is a fireman which is the ones that burns books says " you think too many things." Which i believe is very important because she thinks to much about the burning of books and how she questions it and doesn't really think its right. Why would you wanna burn information? She believes that what the firemen are doing is wrong. She asks Montag if he ever reads the books he burns. He of coarse says that it against the law but it kind of makes you question him like do you really read them because, I don't know about you nut i would Clarisse obviously would too. So far in my book i imagine Clarisse to be out of the norm and not like any one else and that could be a threat to society they don't want anyone who is "different".
