    “That summer the strangest things began to happen in the rear of the house,” John said. “Doors and windows began to slam. I’d go back there because I thought someone had come in.” Upon inspection though, he would discover the screen door and windows were securely latched from the inside. “There was no way anyone could go out and relatch the door or windows,” John said. One of the more unnerving occurrences even stood his friends’ hair on end. When his friends hung out in the kitchen, which is located in the rear of the house, their cigarettes would mysteriously snuff out. This happened on numerous occasions, but never in the front portion of the house. “I was scared to death of that bedroom, “said john of the room from which most of the spooky happenings seem to take place. That room, which had a window to the kitchen, happened to be his late grandfather’s bedroom and the room in which he died of natural causes 16 years…

    The way McAvoy writes, her sentences are short and to the point, yet intriguing enough to detail as to what had happened. In her writing, she uses many contractions and abbreviations, also resembling the shortness of her writing style. However, despite the length of the sentences, McAvoy does a phenomenal job on getting the point across and making this article interesting for whoever reads it. The article can be used as a reliable resource for one who is looking into digging deeper into the truth behind the paranormal. She provides stories on five different aspects she has encountered through the house to show more knowledge of what she can provide behind each story, making each one credible. McAvoy lays the stories out like a timeline, writing from the first of the experiences to one of the last before the family had put the house up for…

    The Open Window Analysis

    • 872 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In the beginning Vera meets Framton Nuttel who is trying to overcome a nerves problem. She lies and tells Mr.nuttle that her aunt Mrs.sappleton had a “ great tragedy happened just three years ago” then Vera goes into details saying that “...her husband and two brothers went off for their daily shooting. They never came back... That is why the window is kept open every evening till it is dusk.”(lines 35-45). The fake story that Vera told Mr.Nuttel wasn’t a respectful thing to do and made it hard for him to control his nerves. In lines 77 when Mrs.Sappleton “here they are at last!” Framton “shivered slightly” and swung his seat in a “chill shock of nameless fear” looking in the direction of where they were coming from. Framton ends up “wildly” grabbing his stick and hat and running out of Mrs.sappleton house. With that being said, Vera affected Mr.Nuttel in a negative way because instead of his curing his nerves problem he left in a worse condition. Where he might not ever be able to cure his condition or it might be even harder to do so. In “ A Sound Of Thunder” Ray Bradbury shows that when being honest it's good to give the whole truth without holding anything back. When Eckels was going to the past the “ man behind the desk” was very clear on the risks he was taking going on this trip.When the man tells Eckels to “sign this release. Anything happens to you, were not responsible.Those dinosaurs are hungry.” then goes on saying “...six safari leaders were killed last year and a dozen hunters.” Moreover, the man behind the desk was being utterly honest with Eckel with holding anything back for example when he says “those dinosaurs are hungry” and informs Eckel how many safari leaders and hunters died on this trip. The man does this so that Eckel will know that there's an vast…

    Further evidence that the unnamed narrator lacks sanity is that after committing the crime of homicide and the police arrive, he is convinced that the now dead old man’s heart is still beating. His guilt takes on the form of a hallucination to the point where he is convinced even the policemen can hear it and suspect him as a murderer. In the end, his guilt drives him to cry out and tell the police to tear up the floorboards to reveal the corpse of the old man he murdered and then dismembered. The story is driven not by his insistence upon his innocence but by insistence on his sanity and to prove that only a sane man…

    There Will Come Soft Rain

    The main narrator tells the story from a third person point of view. Everything that is known is told from an all knowing voice. While reading the story Ray Bradbury makes it easy to understand that the narrator is more than the talking house. From a part in the story “It sniffed the air and scratched the kitchen door. Behind the door, the stove was making pancakes which filled the house with a rich baked odor and the scent of maple syrup. The dog frothed at the mouth, lying at the door, sniffing, its eyes turned to fire.” (Bradbury 2)This part is interesting because of the use of detail in the senses. The narrator talks to us through his senses and describes the surroundings very vividly. This narrator also gives us certain descriptions that only a person outside of the house could tell us, and since there is no one left to tell us what is happening it must be from the view of a third person…

    Goldcoast Erosion

    • 365 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In recent decades erosion has become a major issue to beaches around Australia, since beaches are temporary features. There is always sand being removed and sand being added to them, often, they change drastically during the year, depending upon the frequency of storms. Eventually, a beach erodes because the supply of sand to the beach cannot keep up with the loss of sand to the sea. The Sand dunes and vegetation help to hold the sand in place when wind or water tries to erode it away. The environment can be affected by erosion in several ways. First and the most obvious, houses that are built along the shore are at risk of being washed away if more sand is being removed from the beach in the winter, and not enough sand is returned in the summer. Secondly, animals that live on the beach are at risk for losing their homes. The amount of sand on the beach, and how it is deposited can also affect the shape of the shoreline, which can have an effect on the type of waves that are produced at the beach. The type of waves produced at the beach will also ultimately have an impact on beach erosion.…
