House of Asterion‚ written by Jorge Luis Borges‚ is a short story that takes a first person point of view of a Minotaur named Asterion. The story is about Asterion’s life style and how he occupies his time. However the reader doesn’t find out that Asterion is a Minotaur until the very end of the story. Without this key piece of information the reader cannot view Asterion as a regular person. Another important part of the story that is left out is how his house is labyrinth. This again makes it easier

enter the realm of an abandoned house left many years ago‚ and discover what secrets might be held inside. Before entering‚ I took a good observation of the outside.

It was Thursday the 12th and me and a couple of my friends decided we were going to go for a walk down the scariest street in the neighborhood‚ the town‚ and maybe even the world.

main reason I love this town is the house I grew up in. When I was four my family moved to Amherst from Georgia. We stayed in a little house and then a couple months later moved into the house I live in now. It is a large old house that sits adjacent to a farm‚ a forest and a street. It has always been a comforting environment full of family friends sports teams and other people who stop by. What has been even better though is the neighborhood around my house. Especially the farm and forest. My brothers

Abandon House 1. Dust lay over every surface like dirty snow‚ pristine dust layer‚ not a foot print anywhere‚ dust bunnies the size of bowling balls tumbled across the floor boards toward unseen skittles‚ free papers piled up to the letter box and cascaded all the way to the foot of the rough wooden stairs‚ old tea cups lay on a coffee table thickly encrusted with dried up mould‚ dust covered mirrors‚ smell of mildew‚ stale air‚ air thick with dust‚ shafts of light bursting through gaps in the boarded

fact that we were moving didn’t bother me or my little sister‚ it was just the simple fact that we were moving from our home that we had grown up in our entire life. The only problem was the fact that we had eventually found out that we were going to move to Oregon.

In "The Fall of the House of Usher"‚ Poe uses the life-like characteristics of the decaying house of Usher as a device for giving the house a supernatural atmosphere. This not only makes the story act upon the reader in a grabbing way‚ but it also creates an impression of fear‚ mystery and horror‚ typical for Poe’s literary works.
