Hints on what to journal on:

**weeK 1: I thought that the movie was very interesting on the fact that is was from the ghosts point of view. After watching this movie it makes me think if this can really happen with ghosts if its a reverse that us people could scare the ghosts. I have a friend and she went to a psychic party and she got told alot of information that her grandma and grandpa are always with her and she was in a bad car accident and the lady said that her grandpa was sitting on her lap when it happened and if he wasnt there with her she would have died. Its interesting to think that these spirits are actually real because there is no explination for things that happen. I personally loved this movie it was very different from any other movies that are out there just because of the point of view. The setting in the house was perfect because you can't go wrong with a big scary mansion house like that. i rate this movie as high as it can be rated. There was alot of music that always kept you on your feet for knowing what was going to happen next. Also the end where we did find out that the movie was from the ghosts poihnt of view was like whooaaa totally threw me off and i didn't ever see it coming.**
 * Can you compare it to something else you have read, seen, or experienced?
 * What makes it work? or not. ex: setting,pace (as in the build up of suspence),any startle factors, surprise ending etc...


 * //I agree, the point of view totally made this movie as well as your rating for it, it deserves the highest rating there is. Love the semi-personal experience. -Leann//

Week 2 dracula: I find this book hard to concentrate on. I like books that are very true and if i dont find that in a book its hard for me to read. The setting is obviously a very good one because of the castle that has a very creepy affect to it. I find it very weird that Count would put on Jon's clothes and be him. I also think that when Jon see's those women that he is halluinating and count has some kind of effect on him. It makes me get to think on what Count is going to do to Jonathon next. I also dont understand if that lady who gave Jonathon the cross neckalce why she has not tried to get rid of him and save people from it. This whole book makes me think about Count and his ways.

i don't really agree with you on the part where jon doesn't really see there three women. i do think he saw them and he isn't going bonkers. but i do agree wiht you that this book is hard to concentrate on and it's hard to get into, especially where we left off cause it's getting kind of boring. - ryan mahdy**

​ Week 3: I think that the whole lucy thing in these past few chapters are very interesting. When a vampire bites every person do they turn into a vampire also?. And i don't really understand why lucys mother took away the garlic flowers, they were obviously there for a reason. I find it very interesting that Dracula kept coming back to lucy for blood until she died so possibly that is what lucy is going to do with all the litte kids. Also it shocks me that Mina read Jon's diary. I didn't ever think that she would do that.

i believe that the reason that the mother got rid of the garlic flowers is because she didnt like the smell of them.the mother didn't know that will cause of Lucy death. Mengling Zhaoe

She DEFF got rid of the garlic flowers cause they were probably smellng up the whole house, like i wouldnt want my house smelling like that and she didnt have any idea about the vampire.- Keegan Pierce.

Week 4: i do have to say after these few chapters this book is coming together a little bit at a time but yet its still very confusing. Ryan made a point about the 3 vampire girls and what happened to them, maybe they will come back. I don't really understand the concept of what they did with lucy's head. Also i hope that Mina doesnt get killed by Count, its interesting with what happened with the count and Mina when he came into Mina and Jon's bedroom. That also brought up another point that Ms. Giglio said about mothers and babies and what the Count did when he slashed himself. I'm very interested to see how everything turns out in the end.

Yeah i can't wait for the book to be over so i can understand things fully. --cathy cone.

the scene in the bedroom really stood out to me to. not about any of that but just because the count does all of this over one girl, there's a million other girls out there but the only one that he goes through all this trouble for is mina. does the count think that mina's life is a game? by getting her in the end he wins or something? i don't know but the count seems extremely chldish in his tactics and after being undead for hundreds of years you'd think he'd be more masterminded about his doings. ~ryan mahdy~

i think that it is awsome that Mina is basically leading all of the men to dracula...because of the connection due to mina's drinking of dracula's blood- spencer flint

The last chapters of dracula were very on going i thought. I think that this book was very boring and i would never read it again. I can't even really tell you about the last fews chapters of this book becuase i was just rushing through them just to get the book done and over with. I can tell you that i do remember of the 3 female vampries coming back into the book. thats about it.

remember, its ok not to like it, but you need to be more specific WHY you don't!! Ms. G.

i disagree, because i liked the book.i like to read about vampires and all this super natural stuff. is better than reading Shakespeare and poetry. Meng Ling Zhao i agree with meng ling, that it is better to read about this stuff than shakespeare, even though the ending was poor i still thought it was better thatn reading sahakespeare- FLint

Witch Movie: I have never seen the movie The Blair Witch Project before. I really did like the whole documentary scheme of the movie very much. At the end i really do wish that more was shown and not just Mike in the corner. I also liked that the witch always left clues and made it like a mystery. Like i said i just wish that there was more at the end. I don;t understand if Josh was dead then how did they keep hearing his voice. It sounded excactly like Josh so that was kind of freaky. Also when they woke up and that bunches of sticks with Josh's teeth was really gross. Over all the movie was really good and i would definatly recommend it to other people.

Yeah I didnt really like the ending. they just randomly dropped. it was stupid :) -Bradley Clark

i definitely agree with you on this one man... its the dumbest movie. Darren Davis

I also agree that the movie was not the freatest but tell us how you really feel darren ha...-Jarrod

i agree with you ,it's very good movie.Also the file make very cheaply and very popular with young people.--Meng Ling Zhao
