   "A man wearing a grey suit and hat walked down the hallway- walking slowly down the hall towards the dinning room, his foot steps were silent and his overall appearance and shape seemed to appeare greyish and almost translusent." authour,Hancock,pg 98)
                      What I have learned about the protagonist in the story Haunted Canada 2 " The Grey Man" from Montreal, Quebec is that this man or ghostly image that appears in the house of Sarah Harrt, always appears to be wearing the same thing and his image never changes. He always appears as a grey man walking through Sarahs house, and he always wears the same thing, a suit with a shirt, suit pants dress shoes a tie and a hat. What else I have learned about the protagonist in this story is that he has a few names when when Sarah a ten year old girl first saw him walk by her bedroom door and down the hall and the secound time she saw him he was standing at the front door since he appeared grey and translucent she called him the grey man but she never told anybody else in the house that she saw him. The second name that this ghostly image is called is Satan that the father of Sarah would call him, since he was unseen by him and since "Satan" lifted up a knife and dropped it again breaking a special food-laden plate cracking it in half.
                 What i think will happen as the plot progress is that Sarah's family will end up moving to a different place so that they will not be disturbed by the man in the grey suit, or maybe Sarah's family will stay where they are and learn to ignore the noises and all the strange things that have been happening in Sarah's family's house.

This Reminds Me Of............

    The book Haunted Canada reminds me of the movies Paranormal Activity. It reminds me of these movies because in the book Haunted Canada very strange things happen for no reason like fires start and people hear weird noises and in the movie Paranormal Activity other strange things happen like the dog gets dragged across the room, the daughter gets locked out of house, and the mom gets dragged/tripped down the steps. Also people in both of the books/ movies either end up dead or are dead people not put to rest. This is what my book Haunted Canda reminds me of.

Haunted Canada 2

In the book haunted canada 2 there is a lot of strange things that occure in the households of ordinary people for no reason at all. In some cases people will hear foot steps and loud noises such as chatter and loud bangs. In some cases a fire will break out in any part of the house.Example a man had woken up one morning and found a burn in the ceiling of his house right above the stove and then he smelt smoke coming from the living room and his coach and chair were on fire he asked some neighbors to spend the night to help keep watch over the fires. Many broke out and nobody was hurt because strangely the fire did not burn hot it was burning cold.
         After reading a few peoples stories I am interested in reading the rest of it and maybe the whole series. I find it interesting that nobody knows why these things are occurring to these family's for no reason, I do have some questions about this book like why did it choose this family? Why didn't they go away and why does it follow them to where ever the families go? Hopefully as I read on I will get the answers to my questions.

my quote, why i chose it.

Why I chose my quote is because if you dont exercise your mind with a good book it can become unhealthy for your brain to compose stories or to be able to add more words to your vocabulary. If you don't exercise your mind you will not be able to do well in school and you will get a bad mark.
