Dear Clarisse McClellan, I'm reassured to know that in this society, there are still people like you, who don't follow the majority and make up their own minds, even if they may seem odd to others. Clarisse, you're a smart, intelligent person who knows how to stand out from the crowd. Thank you for having crossed Guy Montag's path, because thanks to you his perception is changing. Thank you for developing his critical mind in this dystopian society. I'm sorry you died, because you were the smartest of them
