Deep Dark And Dangerous By Donna Liquori
What person gets haunted by the dead… well in the book“Deep Dark and Dangerous,” by Mary Downing Hahn, a mysterious unknown girl named Sissy comes back to taunt the children of the ones who killed her. In the article “ A Nonfiction Ghost Story,” by Donna Liquori they also come back to taunt others that had to do with her death. Visioning the tone people use is very important just as the, conflict and the point of view because this is what makes the story paint a picture in your mind. When you read a book these three specific features makes the story come to life.

Who you’re talking to can affect your conversation a lot. In the book ‘Deep Dark And Dangerous’ the author makes it seem very frustrating when some characters talk to each other.

In the book, conflict is awful. Sissy is the main character who usually starts conflict, when she says ‘that's for me to know and you to find out’. In the article, everybody seems to get along except for when the person doesn't talk to the ghost, and the ghost seems to get very upset. In the book ‘Deep Dark and Dangerous’ ‘Sissy or also known as Teresa’ causes confliction between Emma and Ali, Dulcie and Ali, and mostly Dulcie and Claire. Sissy causes all of this conflict because she feels the need for her to be loved because she died at such a young age but says it’s all Dulcie and Claire's fault. In the article when the ghost causes conflict “to make them feel the pain they went through’’or “to tell the truth”. It is also is the same in the book because Sissy wants Dulcie and Claire to suffer pain because they wouldn't tell the truth for over 30 years. There is a lot of confliction between both of these because there is fighting and it is not very appealing to other

    When discussing conflict everyone has their own definition, but it would generally be agreed that it requires a disagreement between individuals within a group.

    Conflict is a very significant factor of fiction. Without conflict there would be no story. The main conflict in "The Grim Grotto" is locating the sugar bowl and keeping it away from Count Olaf. The opposing forces are Count Olaf's troupe and the Baudelaire orphans. This conflict was never resolved within the book. However, there are many subordinate conflicts in this story. The first subordinate conflict is finding Quigley Quagmire and meeting him at the last safe place. The conflict is in between the Baudelaire orphans and Count Olaf. This is the Baudelaire's conflict. Another one is saving the youngest Baudelaire-Sunny from the poisonous Medusoid Mycelium. This is Sunny's conflict because she is suffering from the Medusoid Mycelium. All of these conflicts were external conflicts because they are about characters against each other and not about emotions.…

    The second thing that makes this a predictable ghost story is the protagonist Miss Emily. She is a creepy old woman who people know little about. She stays secluded from society and hides herself and most of her home from the public eye. In the beginning of the story you get the impression that she is just a crazy old woman, but you soon realize that she is hiding something from everyone. Also, Miss Emily's attitude towards the public is very standard of most ghost stories. She is very cranky and shows no respect to others. The reader gets an image of an old withered woman who has a bow in her back and walks with a cane.…

    A conflict that is faced by the father is the struggle to hold on to his humanity in a world where only few remains and the world feels like nothingness. The father, who is trying to ensure the safety and well-being of his son, is forced to do many immoral things, but even in a destroyed society where morals are never heard of, can still survive and flourish through the person. It can be first seen when McCarthy says, “The snow lay deep and gray. Already there was a fresh fall of ash on it. He struggled on a few more feet and then turned and looked back. The boy had fallen, He dropped the armload of blankets and the tarp and went back and picked him up. He was already shivering. He picked him up and held him. I’m sorry, he said. I’m sorry”(McCarthy 99). The father is already giving up on living in such a wretched world, but for the love of his son he must endure, struggle and solicitude for his son. Reveals that through the harsh world that is faced upon the father and the boy, they can still survive in hope of a propitious future. Another conflict that is shown in the book is between the savage cannibal and thieves that are against the father and son., it is stated that, “They’re going to kill those people, aren’t they? Yes. Why do they have to do that? I don’t know. Are they going to eat them? I don’t know. They’re going to eat them, aren’t they? Yes. And we couldn’t help them because then they’d eat us too. Yes. And that’s why we couldn’t help them. Yes. Okay” (McCarthy 127). Having to live in a world full of miscreant savages; the father and boy find a place where they believe to have food and supplies for their journey, but instead found themselves with near-death people. The standards of these abhorrent people that are left in the society is unbelievably low, considering that they will devour anything in their presence. This quote…

    The main conflict in the story is internal, the mother vs. herself. I would also say there is a slight conflict of Emily vs. herself and an external conflict of the mother vs. Emily. The mother defiantly had and internal conflict within herself with her decisions and how things could have been done differently while raising her daughter. The conflict surfaces real early in the story, when the mother goes to say, “Or will I be engulfed with all that I did or did not do, with what should have been and what cannot be helped.”…

    Much of the narrator's personality is revealed in the cemetery. The reader learns that he knew the truth about her, but that after she died, he only thought good things about her. He did not reflect on the horrible things he knew she did to him, but rather on the strong love he felt for her. This shows us how great his love for her was and how he could forgive and forget the things she did to him. This also shows that he wished that they could have been together longer and that he still loved her, even after what she did to him. Since the reader learns that he knew about his wife, but did not confront her while she was alive, shows us that he was in denial because his love for her was so strong. The ‘ghosts' that the narrator sees in the cemetery are actually…
