Question: Why does the Mechanical Hound hate Guy so much? Also, where is the wife when all of this is happening?
I think that Clarisse seems older because for a seventeen year old she seems to know a lot about the past. She also knits, I don't know any seventeen year old girls who knits sweaters and go for walks. most seventeen year olds that I know they just like to do somewhat crazy things, and are really social, but Clarisse is like an old lady; she isn't a very social person. I think that Ray Bradbury (author) made the contrast between the two might be so that guy would have someone to talk to in the story or maybe he made Clarisse is so that we can get to know Guy since she asks so many questions.
I think that Guy and Clarisse are very different as it shows in the story how Clarisse likes to ask personal questions, like when she asked Guy "How come you don't have any children". Guy is like a thinker, almost on every page it talks about him thinking about something. I think that the Firefighters at the station and Clarisse are somewhat similar. The reason is because the Firefighters like to sit around and play cards when there not having to work. Clarisse likes to sit around like it says in the book "...once he saw her sitting on the lawn knitting...".
Those are my thoughts.

JV, you analyzed the book very well. Through you analisis, you unintentionally gave a possible answer to one of my questions; What is Clarisse's signifigance? You said that her purpose is so that we can learn more about Guy because of all the questions she asks. I thought this was a very possible answer to my question. And as for why the hound dislikes Guy, that was another one of my questions. I would give you an answer to this but I too have yet to figure out why the hound dislikes Guys company so much.
Aside from small gramatical errors such as capitalization I thought it was a solid response to the reading.
JV,
When you say that you don't think Clarisse is a social person I think that you are wrong. Clarisse is very social. If she weren't social, why would she talk to Guy? I think you need to re-analyze her character.
