The Hauting of Hill House (p.1-11)

Well hey, I'm now reading a new book called the The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson. This terms ROAR book theme is book into movie. This book is about horror, so it should scare me A LOT, but i highly doubt it cause I'm not easily scared. So far my reading has been the introduction. I've found out the main goal in the book and that is that Dr. Montague is looking for proof of physic phenomenons or paranormal events. He hires a certain group to come along with him and look at the hill House to find the information that he needs. Some of his groups members are pretty weird but helpful because they have all experienced some physic phenomenon or have the same interest as Dr. Montague.

"Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shit; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone"(Jackson 3). This quote really stood out to me because I can completely visualize what she is describing the house as and when it says that whatever walked in there, walked alone, can really creep someone out by thinking that theres something dead but walking in their by itself.

WHY can you visualize the quote? Be descriptive with your comments.

Expand the summary section, don't short change the reader
