  2. About Me • Hi, My name is Heriberto Alvear. I am 15 years old. I attend Sharpstown International High school.

  4. Annotations • In my annotations I saw symbolism, imagery, and irony because it said that “The ghosts will find the buried treasure, but the ghosts have been there for a very long time but they still haven't found the buried treasure.’’ which is irony

  5. New Vocabulary • They’re looking for it; they’re drawing the curtain,“one might say, and so read on a page or two. Curtain-A piece of material suspended from top to form a screen. • And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the woods pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm. Pigeons-A stout seed or fruit-eating bird with a small head, short legs, and cooling voice. • And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the woods pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm. Threshing-Separate grain from plant, typically with a flail or by action of a revolving mechanism.

  7. Summary of Haunted House • The short story of aHaunted House is about a ghost couple, husband and wife, who walk around the house that was once theirs. Their reason for being there is because they are searching for a buried treasure. And whenever you’d wake up there would be a door shutting. As the people of the house hear the doors and windows opening and shutting they know that there are ghost in the house but she is not scared of the ghosts causing harm to them. The ghosts are scared that the couple now living in the house might have already found the treasure. The ghost couple searches every single room of the house, going back and forth, double-checking everything. The climax of the story is when the ghost couple comes to the conclusion that the couple occupying the house has never found buried treasure and it could possibly be in the garden. The ghost couple also realizes that the treasure is actually safe and is still in fact theirs.

  9. Plot Diagram The ghost conclude that the couple of the house have never found the treasure and it could possibly be in the garden. The ghost couple also realizes that the treasure is actually safe and is still in fact theirs.

  10. What I think about the story • I think that the story was a good story because It talks about two couples that want to find a treasure. Its funny because they been their looking for the treasure for a long time and still haven't found it and think the living people have found it.

  11. Reflections • I will keep reading to improve because I need more help to make a better grade in my classes and so I can get a better grade in the STAAR.
