Reading the book it would seem that Clarisse would be that one person who doesn’t have any technology, because she’s too busy talking someones head off. Montag would be that one person who hates all the technological advances, because “No one talks about real things” and ” We need to bothered, beacause blah, blah, blah” you know, all that jazz. Beatty would be the main one advertising technology talking about “it’s the way of the future, yada, yada, yada”. Mildred would be the one with all the newest technology today and maybe some that hasn’t been released yet, and would be in ALL the ipod commercials.

Simple as that.

I believe Beatty would fit in well with our society because of his vast knowledge. Bieng a firefighter just wouldn’t match is personality so he would only fit into the society as an intelectual person instead of a fireman. Clarisse wouldn’t fit in because it is obviouse to people now days if someone’s watching them. She also on the other hand can fit in because there is more things for her to observe and she is able to go to school without bieng frieghtend. Montag wouldn’t fit in our society because he wants answers and not questions, and I feel Iour society is based on questions. Mildred on the other hand would fit in society because, like everyone else, she isolates herself from the world with technology.

I think that Mildred would get along just fine in this society today, because she alredy isolates herself from the world with her “family”. i don’t believe that the muscvideos, ipods, Myspace, etc. would really be shocking to her. For Beatty…. I honestly don’t know, maybe he would ban everything. And Montag, I think that he would be intrested to know everything,about the technology we have today. As he is in the book. Montag is like a five year old , if you say don’t touch it only makes him want to touch it more.

You know, I think it would all depend on what people they were around to determine how they would fit into our society. Mildred would probably just start acting like whoever she was around because in my opinion she seems to be very influenced by her surroundings. I think that Beatty would do just fine, and Montag as well. Clarrise on the other hand, I think that she would have friends but I don’t think that her friends wouldn’t exactly ‘fit in’ with most of the society. But I doubt that she would care at all, since she doesn’t seem to care in the book either.

i think that every one would be fine with todays society except for mildred. since all mildred does is watch tv it would be hard for her to get used to our tv because ours isnt very interactive. in the future the tvs would say you name and stuff and you could talk to them. but our tvs don’t do that you just watch them.

And Clarisse, well, she’s her own person so she would do whatever she felt was right or whatever she felt needed to get done.

Well that’s a “what if?” kinda question. I mean like, Mildred-more than likely she would get involved in that kinda stuff (i.e. music videos, reality television, MySpace, IM, etc.).
Here comes the “what if?” part, what if Clarisse never met Guy, because until Montag met her, he was just like everyone else. Doing the same thing-he could’ve been late for work that one morning and missed that akward encounter with Clarisse. Those thoughts of diversity and difference would’ve never met Montag in his boring bedroom, of his boring apartment, in his boring life. And in that case, Guy wouyld be in the same pool of water as Mildred and everyone else.
Now, Beatty may have diversified himself from all that extra stuff (MySpace, IM, etc.). Although he does what everone else does, he still has a concience. Meaning, he probably knows what he is doing is “wrong” but he does it because he knows it’s what he has to do. To protect the society he lives in.

I think they would adapt to it very well. This is because they are use to just watching t.v. and stuff so since this is what they normaly do they should fit right in.

I think that the charcaters would try to fit in but they can’t. They would have so much freedom they woudln’t know how to handle it. Clarisse would ask so many questions about why things happen and what is the point of it. She would scare people and even cause trouble with her fellow peers beacause she doesn’t like what is going on. Mildred would fit right in with the plastic world. She would be an house wife who wants no kids, doesn’t clean nor cook, and LOVES plastic sugery. The TV shows would have her mind in an confused state and she would became sick and die of an eating disorder. Montag would be an an man who LOVES his job and never wants to come home. And if he does he would bring gifts to Mildred to see if he can talk her out of all the things she has done. He would try to get out of his life by trying to take drugs and drink because all of his fellow buddies do it. And last but not least Beatty i could see as being an teacher. He would kinda remind me of Mr.Kolade in this modren times. He wants to worn us before we get out in the world and get caught up in the money and all that stuff. He would love to read and right and love to help people even though he never shows it in the out side.

i think they would fit in perfectly because in our society there many types of people and and most are allowed. but now that i think of it they are already in our society not literaly but like they have music videos and things like that clarisse would be perfect because she is really curiouse and is really observing i think mildred would fit in perfectly because people in our society are getting farther and farther away from each other like in the book technolegy is seperating us from each other like this blog for example instead of acually talking to you mr kolade you have a blog that is not showing our expressions and our emotions
