Guiding questions

Describe the society (a fictional America) that Montag lives in. In what ways is it similiar to, but more extreme than, our society?  What signs are there that it is a "dystopia" (the opposite of utopia/ideal society)?

- I get a feeling that Montag lives in a society where you don't ask questions. Where curiosity is bad, like if you were expected to think a certain way, act a certain way, and live a certain way. Society today is more about wanting to learn new things. For example, my friends and I ask questions like crazy when we want to learn more about that certain topic. Unlike Montag he's more concerned on staying "inbetween the margins". In the first 6 pages we get signs and we already start to feel that they live in a society full of dystopia. For the reasons that asking questions is like WHAT?! Curiosity is not normal, also they burn books. 
2. What makes Clarisse so special?  So different from most people in her society?

- She's distinct from the rest because she's not only young, but she views things differently. She inspects everything from top to bottom. She wants to be informed. She's a girl who's full curiosity, she's a character who's gonna have a much more different way of thinking than others. 

3. Why do you think the mechanical hound has been programmed to react to Montag? 

- I don't understand this question. :/
