Summary
It's surprising at the fact that the people that have came to Hill House haven't left it yet. Dr. Montague may seem like an expert on Hill House while others are waiting to see what happens next. The first night that all the people who are currently living in Hill House, were so scared to fall asleep. Eleanor was the one who had so much trouble sleeping in the night time. Eleanor put the cover over her head while she slept and Dr.Montague had a flash light out and was going by the door to check if someone was coming. One thing that was shocking to me was that Dr. Montague had a yellow colored room and Luke had a pink colored room while the girls had colored rooms of red and green. I know that the boys were suppose to get the masculine colored room. Things don't always end up being the way that they're suppose to be.
Everyone is still touring the Hill House and trying to get a feel for it. It strikes me that the doors and windows in Hill House are met to be closed. I don't understand that. What about in the summertime? Are the windows not opened up in the summertime? If it's not the people must die. While reading I was wondering to myself if the caretaker get paid. The caretaker cleans and cooks, but do they get paid for the job that they have done. I would like to know the verdict for that one. It's very strange how people can do things like that and not get money for it. Living in Hill House hasn't done any good to the people that came to visit. I just wonder if this Hill House is ever going to get scary. It did mention ghost all that good stuff but not I a wide way. I want more action, and i want it now.
As time goes on more things are happening and it seems that things are getting more scarier. Things just keep coming up and arising and Eleanor is getting more scared then when she came there. It seem like Eleanor might end up leaving soon, because she found her name written in the house on the wall. Everything that is happening, everyone is blaming her for the whole cause of it. It's sad and unusual how they can blame Eleanor for everything because she is the one who is scared if everything, so to me its like how can that be. They only spent three days I the Hill House and to me it feel like they spent more than a week for the fact of so many things that have occurred with the time of them being there in the house.

I'm nothing more but surprised at the fact of how the doctor said this. I believe that this is just crazy. Theodora was the strongest and the one who wasn't scared of anything or anyone. Now that she found a message on the wall over her bed she is scared. The message wasn't even for her, rather it wasn't about her, so why is she scared? The message that was written was for Eleanor, but she wasn't even scared that the message was for her. Theodora thinks that Eleanor wrote the message, but how can that be? Why would Eleanor do such a thing like that if she the one that is scared of everything? Only if Eleanor wanted to scare Theodora, then that makes more sense. What if the sister and brother in law of Eleanor found Hill House and wrote that message? Now that's something to think about. Up until now no one bows who wrote that message. I sure hope to find out.

The Haunting of Hill House. (pages read 82)
Summary.
The haunting of Hill House hasn't yet been scary, but it has been very interesting. There is a man that goes by the name of Dr. Montaque, and he is the owner of the haunted house. He has invited people to come over his house, and people have turned him down, because they found it weird that they are visiting a strange person with no life house. Some have heard about this house and decides not to go. Overall only one person for sure is coming to his house out of the ten that he invited. It's ironic that the only people that are coming to the house are people that have no life, people that aren't married, people that are basically lonely and just don't have anything to do. Dr. Montague hasn't told those that he invited that the house is haunted because he didn't want to scar them, but it turns out that they were already scared for no reason.
Eleanor had a long dialogue with her sister and brother in law about her taking the car on her long trip to Hill House. They didn't let Eleanor take the car after all, but what Happened was that she took the car without their consent. Eleanor has had a long trip to Hill House and she had trouble getting into the gates that were the entrance to the Hill House. Blowing the horn for a long time is what Eleanor did to get the attention of someone to come out and open the gate. The person that came to the gate was a man named Dudley, and he was a caretaker for the Hill House. Dudley gave Eleanor a hard time. When Eleanor insisted that he opened the gate, he did, and he told here that she was going to wish that he had never open the gate for her. As soon as Eleanor saw the Hill House, she said that it was vile. Now I'm just so scared to even read the rest, but I want to, rather I have to.
Theodora is another person that had been invited to the Hill House and her and Eleanor have been friends to the point where they find out that they are cousins. Eleanor was so amused that she wasn't going to be the only one in the house and she became more comfortable being there. They went to explore the outside of the Hill House and then came back in after the scare of a rabbit. When Eleanor and Theodora came back, they met the owner of the house and also Dr. Montague, the one that they have been waiting to see since they got there.
The Dr.Montague and his three visitors are talking forever. Dr.Montague asks if they would like to leave and to my surprise everyone said no. They are discussing how Dr. Montague found the house and why he rented it. Which is because he heard about it so, he wanted to bring people along to experience the house with him. Dr.Montague was talking to his visitor about how the house isn't haunted, and that it was built along time ago. No one wants to buy the house, because people are scared of it and people tell others not to go and see it.

This quote was said by Eleanor. Eleanor couldn't get into the gate the led to the Hill House, for the fact that the caretaker wouldn't let her in because he didn't know who she was. I thought that this quote was funny, and interesting. If you think about it, heaven is a hard place to get into. In order to get to heaven you have to live right. When I read this quote, I was surprised at the fact that I didn't believe that the Hill House would be hard to get into. I though the Hill House would have been like opened arms ready to hug you.
