Dover Beach Post

     Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles stood quickly and fled the depressing scene. As they walked down the dark street towards there houses Mrs. Phelps began to cry again.
     "Dear Clara please tell me whats wrong." Mrs. Bowles tried to comfort the distraught Mrs. Phelps.
     "That poem just brought back a feeling inside me I haven't felt in a very long time." She gasped as she tried to settle her ever flowing tears. "The feeling that my happiness is a lie." Mrs. Phelps covered her eyes and knelt to the ground. She looked defeated.
     "The nerve of Montag to bring up a subject that makes up so unhappy, to bring up my marriages and to read a love poem. No one should have to listen to the jibberish that we have banned for a reason. Dear Clara should we turn the traitor in?" Mrs. Bowles shook with anger. "Should we Clara, to the firemen tell them he is reading books and makes others unhappy?" And with that Mrs. Phelps shook her head vehemently.
     "To turn Montag in when he showed us such beauty in words. The description of the lovers brought me a feeling I haven't felt before. As I said previously, that my happiness was a lie, that i could get more out of life, that I have never felt true love and that it is precious and feeble and tender and can change at any time. That we need to find it while we can and latch a hold of it as if it will fly away, and it will fly away. Can't you see dear Mrs. Bowles that you let your love go?" Looking deep into Mrs. Bowles eyes all she saw was the deepest effects of sadness and loneliness.
     "Can't you see I  did not let my love go it left me. My first husband was happier with another, my second ripped from my grasp, my third took himself away from me not wanting to live another second. Can't you see!" Mrs. Bowles shoved Mrs. Phelps out of her way, stomping off into the night, only to kill herself from the grief that had overcome her will to live in sadness.

Waterfall By: Lauren Kate

    This book by the author of the Fallen series is quite the let down. Waterfall is about a girl named Eureka that lost her mom in the most interesting part of the book the first chapter, her mother died in a car "accident" when a typhoon wave shoved there car off the bridge they just so happened to be the only ones on... And this guy, Ander, who was part of this plot to kill them both ended up saving her. But she apparently creates a typhoon whenever she cries and that's why they wanted to kill her but they only made one remark to it.
    I know I have to keep reading it because what if it gets better I'll never know because I know myself I never come back to books that I abandon. Is it me or do you think in the first 60 pages there should be something interesting besides the hook because sometimes you take the bait and the rest of the worm is plastic? I might just be too picky but I've read books the whole way through where the most well written part was the first page. Why can't they keep up the same quality throughout the book?
    It doesn't help the cover looks cool another deceiving plan of publishers and authors.
