Dead By Sunset

summer, the woods are lush and plentiful. Vibrant colors catch my eyes in every direction. The scene is so glorious and soothing, that it overwhelms me.

Lily says in the book The Secret Life of Bees, “Sunset is the saddest light there is.” The smell of flowers and grass brings a fresh scent to my nose.

In the case of Billy Wilder’s Hollywood classic Sunset Boulevard, nearly all plot points are driven by some type of deceit.

During one night, Turtle, a character in the book, had been forced to go in the creepy mansion across the street from the sunset towers. Her friends had told her that if she went in she would get a certain amount of money per hour that she stayed

Sunset Boulevard: The film begins with police and reporters surrounding a dead body in a pool.
