Both the film Sunset Boulevard and the novel Haunting of Hill House are set in a gothic context. I found similarities in the way both main characters from the novel and film, maintained relationships with others. In contrast I found that the feelings associated with the two main characters, Norma Desmond and Eleanor were presented differently. I also found the representation of the gothic in the settings of both the novel and film contradictory. It is evident that both characters Norma and Eleanor had self hatred, which made their relationships with others difficult.
One day my sister Dakota, my uncle Raven, my mom, and I went to a farm the day before Halloween. At first we were just going to get a few pumpkins but then, I saw a corn maze. I asked my mom “ Can we go in it, please,” My mom said,” If it is free.” I told her thanks. We went to a pumpkin patch to get a couple pumpkins.

So she takes us to the opposite side of Malvern and dropped us off at Bryce’s mom’s house on Louisiana st.
Haunting vs Insanity How does one explain the unexplainable in this world. Whether an individual is insane or is suffering from the horrors from beyond has been argument that been going on for decades. The Yellow Wallpaper is a great example of haunting verse insanity and it is clear to see that Jane is haunted because of the condition that her bedroom is in, how she is seeing figures in the wall, and when her husband's comes into her bedroom and faints. In the passage Jane goes onto explain how truly awful and unsettling her bedroom is.
I was sitting atop the monkey bars with my friends in the playground facing the building. Katie, who was a year older than me, and my best friend’s sister, told us the chilling story. A girl, who lived on the top floor of the building, died, by suicide or murder, in her dorm room, alone. Legend has it that if you come across the building at midnight, you can witness her ghost hanging from the top window. For some context, my friends and I attended St. Stephens and St. Agnes School, an Episcopal K-12 school that became coed in 1991, merging two schools.

In The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, the atmosphere of fear is created throughout her novel. Shirley Jackson creates this feeling for the reader by including many literary techniques. Literary techniques are used to influence the reader’s experience and keep them on the edge of their seat. The three most impactful literary techniques that created an atmosphere of fear in the novel are foreshadowing, symbolism, and repetition.
Writers can enrich their story in many ways. The use of conflict, foreshadowing, and personification can be used by authors to deepen their story. The short stories “The Open House on Haunted Hill” by John Wiswell, “The Chaser” by John Collier, and “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury all contain evidence of these literary devices. Dispute, foreshadowing, and personification are all elements that enhance short stories.
There are many motifs that can be analyzed in ghost literature and folklore, though one that is ever present throughout the beginning of the telling of ghost stories is the motif of the suicide ghost. This ghost manifests after the untimely demise of an individual who takes their own life. This motif is intriguing, because of its complex nature and the fact that this motif persists through time, as it is seen in early ghost stories to the most recent accounts of ghosts. The suicide victim is often seen as returning as a ghost, because of the idea that these victims have unfinished business and internal turmoil. The suicide ghost motif persists because of the fascination of the premature death, along with the idea of understanding the internal
I briefly noticed that Mrs. Turner wrote “be for” on the board the sentence would originally say “What are you going to be for Halloween?” She then erased the two words and wrote “do on” because of cultural differences in the classroom of the fact that not everybody celebrates Halloween. That way the question is open to every student in the classroom to answer. I think very important to not just assume that everyone comes from the same background and religion. Each student shares what they are going to do on Halloween.

Street Haunting comes to profound conclusions about the fluidity of individuality when interacting with other people. Woolf is enabled by the presence of others to subvert her individuality.
Horror has been one of the most powerful and popular genres throughout film history and horror movies have been around since the earliest years of cinema. Most commonly cited as the first horror movie is The Haunted Castle (Le Manoir du diable in French), a short by influential French filmmaker Georges Méliès. Due to his innovations in special effects and filming techniques, he was easily one of the most important early filmmakers. Méliès was more well known for making some of the first science fiction shorts, including A Trip to the Moon and The Impossible Voyage.
I see the faint shadows of towering, tall trees side by side in the forest. It 's dark out. All the critters are asleep and there are no longer the sounds of angry drivers racing down the nearby highway, or shouts of children on the playground a couple blocks down. The white, fluffy, deep snow makes it hard to walk, and my feet are numb from the cold. I have to squint my eyes to make out what 's in front of me.
