So far in Fahrenheit 451

So far in Fahrenheit 451, a man named Montag is not a fire fighter; instead, he is a firestarter. In the beginning of this book, the author describes what he is doing and the setting that he is in. One night after Montag's night shift, he came across a girl named Clarisse McClellan. He found this to be a little strange considering that it was very late at night for anyone to be roaming the streets. He got into a conversation with the girl, which made him question many things that he had never thought about before. For example, the girl questioned him being a firestarter, because she had always known that fires start usually accidentally, and firefighters put them out. Montag explained to her that this was not true, because houses had always been fireproof. Clarisse McClellan also questioned him knowing about the man in the moon and the dew on the grass in the morning. Montag never had the time to think of things in such detail, which made him question Clarisse's intentions and thoughts.
I'm not exactly sure what is to happen later in the book, but I have a feeling that Montag is to come across a realization of his life as it is right now; and Clarisse McClellan will take a big part in this realization. So far, I find the book to be interesting, because it seems to take place in a future setting, which is always thought to be much different than the present time. I would like to see what happens to Montag after his realization, and I hope to recognize the warning that will be portrayed to the readers.
