Thinking Out Loud: Pg.52 of F451

*contains spoilers*
I'm currently on page 52 and it is so tempting to go finish the book. There are a few things that make me curious like, why do firemen start fires and why is it their job to burn places that have books? Why is the government lying to them about the history of firemen?
And the most important question..... WHY ARE BOOKS ILLEGAL?! Will people find out Montag has books? Does Clarisse have books?
I absolutely love Clarisse's personality. I admire her child like character, as Emerson would say, she isn't afraid to ask questions and doesn't conform to what everyone else is doing. She likes to run around and be free. Her peers are dull due to obsession with technology and apparently "kill each other"?
So does Clarisse really get run over by a car or did her and her family disappear because they are different than everyone else? Clarisse is perfectly normal and so is her family yet she has a psychiatrist. Maybe the government took a look at this city and saw how everyone was doing what they want them to do..... except for one family. Now they're gone. Just how in The Pedestrian, Leonard Mead was forced to go in the police car because he was doing something that wasn't the norm.
