In the begining of the book Fahrenheit 451, when guy met Clarisse, he was told a couple things which he didn't beleive. Guy, thought that his job was always the same, he thought that firemen always were used to start fires instead of putting them out. He was always told that houses were always fire proof, so there was no need for people to put fires out, however, Clarisse tried to tell him that firemen were actualy once used to put fires out and that houses wern't always fireproof.
Guy, couldn't beleive the words Clarisse said, he couldn't accept that she told the truth, becuase all his life he was told a lie, which he firmly beleived as the truth. He also took offence to this because he felt his job was highly important and that what he did was vital to the community. At some point in the story, Guy will realize what Clarisse was telling the truth, and that what he thought his whole life was simply a lie.

I agree with you that Guy will realize the truth. I think that Clarisse's dissaperance has somthing to do with her have all of this knowlegde abotu the past. Also, do you think him burning the lady with the books will affect his beliefs on his job?
