Down a Dark Hall Summary
Introduction to Down a Dark Hall
Dawn a dark hall is a book made by Luis Duncan, it is called a Gothic book and it is about a girl named Kit and she is going to a boarding school while her parents are on a cruise/honeymoon then she has this weird feeling about Blackwood (the school she is in) she then finds out that the word she was looking for was Evil.It turns out she was a day early. At night she had weird dreams and/or nightmares. In her dream she is playing very good and professional music. After she was done with the dreams she had those dreams she found out that her fingers were hurting. That morning there were only 3 girls that came they were Linda, Sandy and Ruth (The smart one). Kit likes Sandy she then learns that she has the same dreams as Kit, the ones were they feel like they are doing something but they know that it is a dream. They then find out that Linda has the same dreams as Kit too she did not do good at drawing but know she drew Kit with just a pencil and it looked like a Artist had drew it. After that she did not know how she had drew it but she couldn't anymore, since she could draw in her dreams (she figured out) Madam Durret gave her old tools so it would look like she drew back in the 1800 or way back. Then finally Ruth gets the same things, Ruth does some research and finds out that all those three girls in Blackwood have ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). Then Kit demands why they are here and she explains everthing and she says that you can not go anywhere until Christmas break. Then Kit and Jewls ( the young music teacher) have a talk and Jewls decides to do some sneaky research and he finds out that in Madam Durret's previous schools four died (Suicide) and 20 others went to a mental hospital.
Opinion
I really like Down a Dark Hall made by Luis Duncan because it has Gothic taste to the book. This is because it has a type of castle and it has a scary type to it. An example of it is that when in the book Kit in her dream she feels like she does play music but Jewls says she does while she is asleep all along adn he records. She then see 's another reflection in the mirror in the dark.

Wait Who Robert Frost
Introduction
Robert Lee Frost is famous American poet. It all started in March 26 1874, in San Francisco. After he was born shortly after he moved to Pennsylvanian with his father William Prescott Frost Jr. and his mother Isabelle Moodie. They had moved shortly after they were married, shortly after they had moved his dad had died from Tuberculosis, he was eleven years old when his father had died. He had moved with his sister and mother. His sister was Jeanie who was only two years younger than Robert Frost when he had moved. At High school he had his interest in poetry in 1874. Things that had inspired him was his jobs as he grew up which were a Farmer, Cobbler and editor of Lawrence Sentinel. His first poem was "My Butterfly", it appeared in November 8th 1894. Two interesting facts about him was that Frost had married and had two children and also his Grandfather agreed to buy him a farm if he had worked on it for 10 years.
This is Robert when he was old.
THERE’S a patch of old snow in a corner | |
That I should have guessed | |
Was a blow-away paper the rain | |
Had brought to rest. | |
It is speckled with grime as if | 5 |
Small print overspread it, | |
The news of a day I’ve forgotten— | |
If I ever read it.OpinionThe message that he is trying to get across in this poem is that he tells that winter will not last long and before you know it will be spring. This poem made me chose this because it had showed a valuble meaning because it tells me that spring will come soon if you wait. In this poem since it was the old days I dont think that people had delivered Newspapers in the Winter because it was to cold. I would relate this poem to me because I don't like winter that much because I can not go outside and it is cold in the winter, also I am eager for Spring or Summer just like in the poem. I think that Robert was happy when he had wrote this poem because winter had just gone away and I would feel that way to.
