Fahrenheit 451 - Alternate Ending

After I finished this book I went online to a get a few varying opinions on the book and something pretty cool I found out was that in the movie that was made about this book there is an alternate ending in which Guy finds Clarisse living with all of the Hobos. I thought that this was a pretty cool alternate ending though I am really interested in how she go there. In the story it says she got hit by a car and died. I would love to hear them explain that one. I think it would go some thing like... My uncle and I needed to trick the government so we pretended I got hit by a car and he moved away in anger. Then we came out here to live with these Hobos so that we could be happy and live in peace with nature. I think that would be pretty funny. In all seriousness though I thought that the alternate ending was a lot better than the normal one. Even though I loved the normal ending the alternate one seems to be a lot more happy than the first one. What can I say, I am a sucker for happy endings. I would still want most of the book to go the same way, especially the ending part where he remembers where him and Mildred met as I think that is a pretty stinking sweet ending to the book with just the right amount of drama and just the right amount of awesome. I do not really know how they would tie that in with the alternate ending but that would be for someone with writing skills to worry about. Something else I think would be cool is like an epilogue where it shows the group a year or two later and how everything has changed and what progress they have made in beating the mean government if any. Whether or not Faber made it to his friend who runs a printing press or whether or not he died as is probably more likely.

  1. it does not say Clarisse was killed. Mildred thought she might have been as her family moved away
