She was able to change society itself with her warm innocence and curiosity. She had an independent will that will never fade no matter what

    The Power of Simile Throughout Macbeth‚ Shakespeare seems to choose his words with care.

As stated by the Oxford Dictionary‚ a simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another

    Clarisse In Fahrenheit 451 Clarisse McClellan seemed to play an enormous but diminutive role that has an impact on the main character‚ Guy Montag‚ as well as the entire book. I was intrigued by Clarisse from the very start. I loved how she appeared so dark and mysterious‚ as if she came out of thin air. The chemistry between she and Montag was almost immediate and it felt precise‚ as if that’s the way we should connect with every stranger we come in contact with. I read through Clarisse’s words
