**//Write down your thoughts,comments and critiques on this week's reading/video.//** 

Hints on what to journal on:


 * Did you like it? Why or why not?
 * 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...

Week 1 == I really did enjoy the movie the Others because it was a movie that made you think that had a shocker at the end of the movie. It was a fun experience seeing the ghosts point of view and how they believed they were the only ones in the house and thought the real people were the ghosts when actually they were. I would recommend this movie to others .==

Week 2

== I enjoy books like this because i like the mysterious side of them along with having the action go with them but still a mystery at the same time. I like how you take the time to explain things I dont completely understand when i read them on my own, it keeps me interested in the book. So far i like the book, i like how dracula has control over the wolves and can have them come or go whenever he chooses i wish i could have that control over wolves. Anyway i hope the book continues as it is and keeps getting better and better.​ ==

Week 3 ==Something that I found unusual in this chapter is why the maids went and drank wine after finding the dead body laying in the bed. Along with that i dont understand why the mom would remove the garlic necklace from the girls neck it was obviously left there for a reason and would of saved the girls life so in the end the mother caused her daughters death. ==

Like Ms. G said they let her down they killed her and thats that they just didnt think or know any better. Jrod
Week 4

==== **I never saw this coming but Reinfield is basically working for dracula and it totally caught me off guard. No one would believe him about anything because they claim he insane even if he was telling the absolute truth. Along with this I am amazed at how strong dracula is and how much power and control he has. I mean it says he is strong but i didnt think it would be like this he can take people out in the blink of an eye basically which is crazy.** ====

Week 5
== Anyone else disappointed with the construction of the ending? There were pages and pages of details of their trek following the Count to Transylvania, and three pages of the anti-climatic encounter with Dracula. Was it just me that felt this finale was less than it should have been? Liked the book overall but think there could of been a much better ending .==

I personally thought that they could have also made the ending better. It just as really dull. ' -Bradley Clark
