“I doubt you were talking about Nana,” Sam looked down at her with a smirk as they passed through the trees and into the yard of Mr. Clarkson’s house. The house was still as dark and quiet, it almost looked menacing. It was as if the house had absorbed its owners presence, because the building itself was very attractive. There was ivy growing up the side of the stone, the colors of green, yellow, and red in the leaves as it succumbed to the coming winter. “So, you and my brother?” Sam said after a few moments, low enough so the rest of the group couldn’t hear him. “We are talking about your relationship, not mine.” Rachel felt his eyes on her and the heat rose to her face quickly. She looked at the house instead of him, but she knew that he could see her blush. …show more content…
He liked Rachel, he did, and he liked teasing her, but there was a serious note to his questioning. While he wanted Dean to be happy, Dean deserved to be happy, he wanted to see where everyone’s head was at. He didn’t want Dean to hurt Rachel, either emotionally or physically because of his work, but he also didn’t want Rachel to get into something she didn’t understand. “Are you your brother’s keeper?” Rachel asked trying to deflect the question. “Yes,” Sam replied simply. “Sammy, did you bring your lock picks?” Dean called back before Rachel could answer. Sam gave her a look, letting her know that he knew she had been saved by his brother once again. “Yeah, I grabbed it from the Impala when we headed out to check for knives,” Sam called back. “Good, because I don’t think all of us want to try and crawl through the window,” Dean disappeared around the side of the

Walker begins the story by describing the yard in which the mother is waiting for her daughter to come home. She shows the yard to the reader as being clean and wavy, which, according to the mother, is "more comfortable than most people know" (875). She feels that it is an extension of the living room. She compares the hard clay to the living room floor being swept smooth. This leaves a cool place to sit under the elm tree and "wait for the breezes that never come inside the house" (875). The reader at this point has already experienced the feeling of the soft grass, hard yet smooth clay, the cool breeze, and the smell of the elm tree.
To begin, Dahl used the outside of the bed and breakfast as a use of

At the beginning of the story, the narrator is moving into a house that she is renting while her house in being renovated. She describes the house as "The most beautiful place! It is quite alone, standing well back from the road, quite three miles from the village. It makes me think of English places that you read about, for there are hedges and walls and gates that lock, and lots of separate little houses for the gardeners and people" (105). This quote reflects that she considers this house as a place only the noble could live in. She has only read about homes like this, and she never thought that she would be living in one. She seems happy that she will be able to rent such a house. She adds that "There is a delicious garden! I never saw such a garden--large and shady, full of box-bordered paths, and lined with long grape-covered arbors with seats under them" (105). This adds to the elegant and royal qualities that the narrator believes the house has.
Very early in the story, the narrator comments toward the uneasy yellow papered walls. She is beginning to enjoy the mansion where they are currently residing, but seems...
Thomas Clarkson Thomas Clarkson was the most important abolitionist of the 18th and 19th centuries. He was born in 1760 and died in 1846, both in England, though he traveled frequently in his lifetime. His upbringing (his father was a priest) and his later education at the University of Cambridge sparked his devotion to ending slavery. Clarkson was the catalyst and if it was not for him the abolition of slavery in Britain would never have become a reality, highlighted by the role he played in co-founding of the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, his aid in creating the Slave Trade Act of 1807 and his work with the Anti-Slavery society after abolition. In 1787, Thomas Clarkson played a pivotal role in founding the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade.
Eleanor’s sense of wanting to be at home during her car ride came in the form of imagining new homes, homes with stone lions and oleanders and a cup of stars. Her fears prevent her from seeking out her own stone lions and oleanders and cup of stars. These same fears attract her to Hill House. It creates a Dramatic irony because the fears of Eleanor's inner child—fear of loneliness, hardship, love, guilt, and the world outside the home—outweigh her fear of ghosts and death.
“Oh you noticed!” Rachel said trying to be coy, “You looking pretty sexy today too babe!” she then wrapped her arms around his waist and pecked him on the cheek.
She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves. ( This description of the scenery is very happy, usually not how one sees the world after hearing devastating news of her husbands death.)
She nodded her head, went to grab it. While grabbing it, she started telling how she found him dead, and I could see that she was on the verge of tears.
"It was nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs....." I trail off to make it seem like I didn't already know their names.
