Mrs. Phelps was walking home after the rather awkward and strange
events that had transpired in the Montags' house. She pondered the poem Guy had
read to them, what was it
called, she thought to
herself, Ah! Yes Dover Beach
was its name. He friend
Millie had said he brought a book home once a year to show how silly they were,
but this nights events were having a quite peculiar effect on her, one she had
never felt before. She had cried.
Never before had that happened to her, it
was rather strange to cry in their society. This new felt emotion would have
been called sadness in our society but in theirs Mrs. Phelps had no clue what
it was as it was a new felt emotion. She thought it must be the crazy ness of
books like Millie had said and as she opened the door to her house her had
convinced herself it was just that.
The next morning she awoke and the first
thing on her mind as that god
awful poem again, she thought
it books were so silly why she could not get rid of this nagging feeling that the
poem was important. She went about her day, and the next day, and the next
week, but she could not figure out why the poem still stuck with her. One day
sitting by herself in the parlor watching the people on her new 4 wall
television, she realized that she was truly not happy with how her life was she
was lonely just the poem talked about and wished to do something other than sit
around and waste day after day watching fake people on her TV screen she wanted
to be someone, and on that day her life changed forever.
