Fahrenheit 451 - Clarisse Pt 2

OK I felt that since Clarisse is such a large part of the story that describing her would take more tan 325 words and seeing that I need as many blogs as I can get she is going to need two parts. Ok., back to Clarisse. Her biggest effect on the story. Is not how she begins to make Guy appreciate the smaller things, though that is important. Her biggest impact comes in her death. Had she not died Guy never would have gone down the long path that led him to live with the hobos. While she was living it seemed as if her very presence was enough experiencing the world for Guy. It seemed as if she experienced it enough for the both of them. But, when she died Guy suddenly lost the euphoria he enjoyed around. He stopped being exposed to all the small things eh showed him. Guy, being cut off cold turkey wanted it more than ever. This led to him taking drastic measures to achieve the same sense of discovery. So he turned to books, illegal and mysterious. Had Clarisse not died he never would have felt the need to go further than he had been. Especially in the gruesome way that she died. Ran down by her own young peers. I think this also led to Guy choosing the path that he did. It only gave him more reasons to believe that the world he was living in had few positives among it. With people running down each other for a brief moment of enjoyment. All of these factors made Guy realize he had to change what he was doing and change what he was becoming. I think Clarisse played the largest role out of everything in helping Guy decide to take the final plunge that he did. Deciding to leave his life and live with the hobos. If Clarisse had never been there he would have gone on living his life the way he was: unhappy, dreary, worried and quickly.
