Default Re: articles

What about these two sentences?

1. I read the book from beginning to end.
2. They went on holiday to the seaside for a week. It rained from beginning of the week to the end.

Why is there no need to use any articles in the first sentence; on the contrary, the definite articles are used?
How can I recognise whether it is or is not considered a phrase?
