1) What do you find confusing?? What is something you don’t understand??
-Well one thing that I found confusing was the fact that reading books was illegal. Yeah…..that really confused me. I also felt confuse because they had to burn all the books. I’m really confuse but hopefully I’ll get the hang of it.
2.) Montag compares Mildred (his wife) to Clarisse and says that Clarisse seems older. In what way does Clarisse act more mature and why do you think she is more mature? Why does Bradbury (the author) make the contrast between the two?
-Well I think that Clarisse acts more mature and older than Mildred (his wife) for several reasons. One reason is because Clarisse is more open to things. She communicates with people more than Mildred. Mildred is just to different from her. I mean what was all the suicide thing. That explains it all she is just too confusing and doesn’t know what she wants. Well I think that the author compares both of them because they are both two different people.

Hey Alma!
I'm confused too that books are illegal, & if you are found with possession of books, you get your house burnt down?
Good, I'm glad you asked this question Alma. It is key to understanding the story. You might have been absent the day we talked about it in class. Later in the novel, it is explained why books are illegal, but can you think on your own why the government would not want people to read books? governments ban books (also called "censoring") because they are dangerous. Why would a book be dangerous?
Hi Alma!
I read your question and though I could answer it. The books are being burnt is because of censorship. The government ban the books because they are "dangerous". So if you are caught with books in your house they will burn them. I think the government baned books because they don't want their citizens to think for themselves because they might go agaist the government or realize something wrong in the government.
I also think that its confusing but just think of it like if it was in the future. I hope by now that you have gotten use to it. I also think that you should write more to make your post more interesting, othre than that they are great!!!
