Clarisse is a teenage girl who just moved next door to a man named Montag. She is a very optimistic girl that always wants to know more in a town where most people don't know much or care to know much. On top of her curiosity she is very confident and bold and isn't embarrassed or hesitant to say what she is thinking. I think Clarisse is different from many people in her society because she thinks differently then the rest, she unlike many people want to know the background knowledge about some things that have seem to go unknown. Montag, her neighbor, is a firemen. Clarisse thinks many people are afraid of firemen but I don't think she personally is.
"Oh they don't miss me, I'm antisocial they say. I don't mix. It's 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." (pg.33, Clarisse)
"Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity. It was a look, almost of pale surprise." (pg.9, Montag)
The way I picture 17 year old Clarisse is a tall, skinny blonde girl who seems very adventurous.
