From the Paper:

"Clarisse McClellan was supposedly run over by a car. Ray Bradbury never states whether she is confirmed dead or if that is the reason, but he uses that idea to indicate that there are consequences for being different, and for being a rebel. Over the years, Guy had been storing up books in his ceiling, which shows he was already stealing books. It's the moment that he shows Mildred the books that it is realized that Guy is becoming more and more rebellious. He started off small, by secretly stashing the books, and he worked his way to showing Mildred, so one could assume that there were more steps to come. Little did Guy know; he was about to get a visit from his boss and best friend, Captain Beatty. When Beatty arrives, he immediately starts to talk of his suspicion that Guy was hiding at least one book, and that he planned on reading it. "
