To challenge something means to question whether a statement or action is right or legal. Challenging something or one another is already a daily routine to the lives of many individuals in this world. It may be as simple as calling out a lie that one's smaller sibling may be telling her mother, or a coach of a sports team that doesn't like the call that a referee made. However, challenging the rules may become more complicated. Candide ,by Voltaire, demonstrates how the curiosity of love from a young man named Candide can lead to challenging the rules. In Fahrenheit 451 ,by Ray Bradbury, a girl by the name of Clarisse McClellan seeks to find the truth about firemen from the past, as they are in the future where firemen set fires instead of

After Candide kissed Cunégonde, Candide would recognize that the Baron was unknowingly watching them kiss. Voltaire conveys the uproar of the Baron to the reader by stating, "Baron Thunder-ten-Tronchk passed near the screen beholding this cause and effect chased from the castle with great kicks on the backside." When the Baron walked in by mistake seeing his daughter kiss somebody who he does not know a lot about, a reader can understand the viewpoint of the Baron because most readers would most likely not want to mistakenly view their, or someone's, future daughter kissing a stranger. A reader can also see that it was not appropriate for Candide to challenge the rules because of the many consequences that Candide received. The reader may infer that Candide would get banned from the Baron's castle after this act was done. However, Candide did get what he wanted, which was to get a kiss from a beautiful girl, so it suggested to him that it was appropriate for him to challenge the rules in the beginning because he did not know that the Baron would sneak up on them like how it …show more content…
Clarisse acts like a genuine suspicious girl to a fireman by the name of Guy Montag where the novel is set in a futuristic setting. For example, she asks odd questions to a fireman about his job that should not be asked in a setting where firemen start fires instead of putting them out. Clarisse questioned, "Do you ever read any of the books you burned?" Ray Bradbury shows how Guy Montag responds by stating, "He laughed. "That's against the law!"' Clarisse asked these odd questions to the fireman about his job that should not be asked in a setting where firemen start fires instead of putting them out because it is unnecessary to question someone's job. In some case, this could also lead to future consequences as she is questioning someone's job who works for the government, where the government could find her in some serious trouble for acts of suspicion from the past. In another world, Clarisse may be someone who was sent in by her present day government to alarm her government of any harm to fix for the future. Bradbury also draws some hints for the reader to realize that Clarisse may be someone from the past because she has knowledge about the past. Bradbury demonstrated this by stating in the novel, "They walked still farther and the girl said, "Is
