The Haunted Kiss By Marcia Lynn Mcclure: Summary

The Necessity of a Gothic setting In a gothic novel or story, the setting is exclusive to the plot. If a gothic story doesn’t have a perfect setting, the plot will not be as exciting to the reader. The setting needs to have dark elements, horrifying twists, and turns to drive the story. In The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, Jackson exemplifies how a setting should be in a gothic novel.

“Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely” (Unknown). People change and grow because of the challenges and conflicts they have in life.

He faces an incredible challenge that makes him have to change extremely quickly. In “First Love” by Judith Ortiz Cofer the girl narrator has a crush on a boy that is a couple

Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into rock to force open ground and extract oil or gas. Fracking is becoming very popular due to the amount of money large companies make by doing so.

Bailey sighed as she sat on the stool hearing the band members complaining. She rolled her eyes as she looked to Tristan. Smiling as he agreed with her, she took in a deep breath just as Kyle stood up. "Hey, guys stop. This is Bailey's song. If she wants to do it acoustic lets do it acoustic." Smiling she mouthed "Thank you." to Kyle who winked at her. If it was someone other than Tristan who would have her back it was Kyle. Including after Bailey had set him up with Johnny the bartender at the cafe and a close friend of Baileys. Biting down on her lip she listened as Tristan spoke before nodding her head to what he was saying. "See if it doesn't sound good acoustic then we'll bring the bass and guitars back in. Besides this song is kind of personal." Bailey spoke as

The title of my book is the Big Crunch, it sparked my interest because it sounds like people are eating and I like eating. Once I began reading the book realized that it was far from that, the book is really about how everything can change before you know it. Pete Hautmen has a few different books, however the Big Crunch was the first book that I personally have read by him. The author, Pete has a very unique writing style and I think in the future I’d like to read more books he wrote. Pete wrote this fiction book because he wanted people to know a story about falling in love without all the pretend magic that every other booklist into love stories. In this story June Edberg and Wes Andrews are the main characters in the book and they fall in love after a long road of them denying their relationship. Personally I thought that June’s side of the story was very relatable, she did not set out to even make friends let alone a boyfriend because she knew that she wasn’t going to last long in the town due to her father's job.

My last book that I am reading right now is called H2O. This book is interesting because it’s an intense book that will always have you on your toes and is also a little mysterious. The book is about a girl named Ruby who has to survive the deadly rain that seems to be killing everyone. So far in the book, she lost two members of her family and the death tolls are still counting. She doesn’t know where her father is because they don’t live together and she has to make a decision on whether she should try to live on her own, which seems impossible, or go and try to find her father who might be

World War II raged around the world, but the people of London faced it on their doorsteps. The Blitzkrieg destroyed not only the cities buildings but affected the people who lived there. Elizabeth Bowen, a native of the city, used the devastation to draw, “inspiration from her own traumatic experiences” (“The Home Front”). This inspiration manifested itself into the 1945 short story The Demon Lover.

Imagine yourself walking through a building and music starts to play. The music that plays is haunted, creepy, terrifying music that can almost scare anyone. The music that is playing really is not scaring you simply because your walking into a well lit room with no decorations just a plain room. Now imagine yourself walking into another building with the same music but the room is dark. The only sense of light you have is dim candles that can only illuminate only some parts of the room. You scared yet? A majority of people wouldn’t even dare to enter the building because of the setting of the building. Setting is very crucial into any story that is created. It can make or break the story as a whole if the setting is not perfect. In Elizabeth Bowen’s “The Demon Lover”, setting was very important for story’s development of the story.
