The difference in tone for Clarisse and montag is completely different due to them standing out to everyone else in society. It's noticeable when the first scene is montag burning books but he's like pretending to be happy doing his job.  Another example would be when Clarisse talks about how she's treated by other kids and how society looks at her. Montag wants to be like Clarisse and have a caring family like hers.


 The first scene showed to us by Bradbury is montag burning books in a society where firemen start fires and burn books. This paints a dark society Image in our mind. Montag shows a sign of what's to come in the first scene where he's burning a book happy. When he goes to his home he runs into Clarisse who makes him question his whole outlook on life by telling him how "in the old days " it was much more different.  When they both talk Bradbury's diction shows us that they actually are human and have souls because when other characters talk it's like robots or emotionless objects. All the other characters talk about is either the tv show or something boring while Clarisse and montag actually want to like look around and enjoy life & question it too.


When Clarisse talks about how society and kids at her school treat her, this shows us how her and montag are like outsiders. She mentions how kids at her school wanna kill her and 4 of her friends have been killed. Her psychiatrist gives her medicine to try and conform her more like how society is. Bradbury's syntax  gives you an image of an energetic girl is being given pills and being told not to question anything. When Bradbury mentions a character like Mildred or her friends it gets like boring cause all they talk about is the tv shows and how having babies are like a burden & also how their divorced life is. It's like they show no emotion like they're robots. They're incapable of caring about anyone or anything & they've never felt happiness.

In the scene where montag looks at Clarisse's family having dinner at the table with no television on shows what kinda of family or people he wants to be surrounded by. He whispers to himself how he wants to join in he doesn't have to say anything he just wants to know what they're conversating about. Bradbury's syntax paints a depressing image of montag wanting to be apart of a family like Clarisse's. He longs to have a family but instead he's with Mildred who doesn't really care about him and overdosed on sleeping pills. She also doesn't even know where her and montag first met which is kind of sad. Everytime Bradbury brings up montag and Clarisse his diction changes from like dark when he describes the other but with those he writes positive and how they're different for questioning & looking around at the small things in life & detail.


As you can clearly tell that Bradbury's tone with montag and Clarisse changes. As in changes in a good way due to them being different and for questioning and looking around society wants to punish them.
