For a long time, I went to bed early. I really never thought that the night time couldn’t hold anything until I found out. During the night time is when the vampires come out to play. They look for people to suck blood out of two that they can keep living. But secretly I wanted to be a vampire, I know it’s outrageous. It was my childhood dream so I did some thinking also some research. Then I realized that all I had to do was walk into the line of fire. I talked to my entire loved one before I attempted this and they said only if that’s what I really want to do. So the night came and I went to the most well know spot. But when I arrived I got arrested by the cops. They said that it was crime to give e your life away to become a vampire they have been arresting everyone who come to the sighting. The I heard the ring of steel against steel as a far door clanged shut.
1) For a long time, I went to bed early.
2) This line is from the novel Swans Way, which was published Marcel Proust who lived from July 10th 1871 to November 18, 1922. This author is also known for other works, including Pleasures and Days and In Search of Lost Time.
3) The novel now carries the reader back fifteen years to relate the second story--that of the love affair between Swann and Odette. Swann does not know that Odette has a terrible reputation and, thinking she will be harder to seduce than she really is, takes up an interest in her. He finds her only vaguely attractive, however, until one day when he realizes that she resembles Botticelli's beautiful rendering of Metro’s daughter in his painting Zippo rah. Idealizing Odette through the intermediary of the painting, Swann respects her beauty with all his heart and starts to obsess about her day and night. Odette introduces Swann to the Verdures and their nightly salon. At first, they love Swann's company and make him one of their "faithful" guests. One night, after failing to see Odette at the Verdures, Swann looks for her all over Paris. When they finally run into each other, their passion ignites and they become lovers. The Verdures constantly play Vinteuil's sonata, whose piercing violin crescendos make Swann so happy that he fixes an association in his mind between the music and his love for Odette.

6) this line is form the novel falconer, which was published in the year 1977 by the Author John Cleever who lived from May 27, 1912 to June 18, 1982. This author is also know for other works including Reunion and Swimmer.
8) A story of suffering and redemption, told in Cheever’s fullest register. Ezekiel Farragut, university professor, family man, drug addict, is in Falconer State Prison for having killed his brother with a poker. In this shabby purgatory, he struggles with his memories, his guilt, and his need to remain human in a dehumanizing place, until an affair with a fellow prisoner reawakens his ability to love, even if the young man is a cynical operator and love is just another burden to bear. In some ways this book represented Cheever going far afield from the suburbs where he had made his name. (Not too far: Sing Sing was near his home in Ossining, N.Y. He had taught prisoners there in the early 70′s.) But Farragut is not so different from Cheever’s lawn-mowing householders. Yearning, wayward, beset by anger and need—he’s just a Cheever character in extremis. He suffers beautifully, but he suffers to a purpose. When he finds a rapprochement with the world, however tenuous, it speaks to the prisoner in us all.
I see your writing and I see the info about your starting line. Don't forget to add the information about the closing line if you want to earn full points for this post. Also, add a line or two to each explaining why you would or wouldn't want to read the two books.
