You got correct answers! Good job
I don't have the book and I did it in freshman year so I don't remember specifics but I do know when Montage meets clarisse he focuses on her image and her white dress which shows her purity which makes a big impact on him somehow, when he actually speaks with her she makes him question everything around his society and why they don't actually read books, clarisse does read books herself and Montage does not report her which means that he's actually seeing how corrupt his society is. Eventually when she dies it's like he breaks or something like that and he ends up going against what he did all his life and against the firemen. Like I said I don't remember much, but I hope this could give you an idea on what you could look for.

I think it is because Balboa considers himself a great explorer like Cristobal Colon (Cristopher Columbus) and Vespucci and the Pizarro brothers. the Of course Cristobal Colon discovered the Americas as did Vespucci whose first name was Amerigo so America was named after him. The Pizarro brothers discovered Peru with its' riches of gold and silver and the empire of the Incas.,Balboa was the first explorer to reach the Pacific Ocean by land over the isthmus of Panama. He later founded a settlement in Panama.
