Journal Entry 61: Taken over

           I think what is really taken over is their mind and heart. We don't know throughout the whole story weather the house is taken over by someone, or some monster or no one. We only knew that the two main characters heard scary noise and sound so they are afraid to go o the other part of the house, and then later leave the house. I think what is really taken over is their mind and heart and beliefs. First the two characters stay in the house all the time, which is very weird for a person to do. Then they heard noises and sounds on the other side of the house, so they were really scared, and automatically assumed that it was a monster or some alien. They locked up the door and decided to stay only on the other side of the house. They thought they were safe until they heard another sound or noise in the kitchen when they are trying to get water. They didn't think much and panicked and they ran out of the house thinking that they have escaped. I think the author is trying to say that we often assume things before we even actually know it. We are scared of trying and we are not curious about it so we don't want to find out what happened.
