The world keeps turning, yet you never know which way

I have read along, and finished the final page of part two, entitled, "The sieve and the Salamander." As the story went on, my wish came true. Guy Montag remembered and instance when he acknowledges that there is, in fact, another man in the world at that time, that shares the truth about books. As Mildred emotionlessly leaves him alone, to tend to a phone call about, once again, her three walled reality, Montag changes sides completley, and puts his trust in a man that can be an ally to him, rather than a criminal with books that he needs to burn. Skeptical at first, the man, named Faber, has suspicions that maybe it is a trap, like everything seems to be these days. But when Guy finally convinces him that he needs help, and does not intend to cause harm, Faber agrees, and a new alliance is formed. I am very anxious to see what these to knowledgable and determined men can do together.
