The Haunted House by Me


Authors Note: This s how a text to world connection on my book, "The House Next Door," would be a great example for an essay.  I put a lot of thought into this.


The book “The House Next Door,” is a scary, romantic type of book. I think this book can be real in some situations, and fake in some.  “The House Next Door” is a great story because it’s funny, scary, and romantic.  A text to world connection might help with my understanding and ideas of this book.

This could be a text to world connection because there could be a haunted house somewhere.  Someone wouldn’t probably go in one, but there could still be a house that is haunted and has a creepy story behind it.  Also, I think that people would be terrified of it because if it does have a creepy story behind it, people will always stretch the truth and make it more creepy than it actually is.  I think that people should just leave it how it is and be done with, unless something actually happens to it, or in the house.



Next, the characters seem like real people with real lives.  Charlie, (the older one)has a twin sister named Val.  There are such as things twins, so that was a fact.    I think that the author did a good job on having almost like real people as characters.  They both fight with each other, and in the end, they love one another.  I think that it’s a great idea to have life like characters in a book because it makes the story sound more realistic and have a better plot.



This story reminds me of my neigh boor's house because supposedly it’s haunted. I sort of believe it because I’ve read an article in their house about a ghost that haunts their house. But, then again, I don’t believe it.  I’ve never really seen anything happen to it before, it might just be a fake article out of the news paper. I don’t want to believe it because if I did believe it, I would feel like the ghost would come out of the house and try to kill me in my sleep.  I tend to over think things a lot more than regular people.


The scary, romantic, funny, book, “The House Next Door” was awesome.  I really enjoyed the life like characters and the creepy story behind the house. I thought that a text to world connection would best suit me because I live by a “haunted house”, and I would know how to connect to this story.
