Journal Entry 62: Symbol of the House

            In the story, "House Taken Over" the two characters were scared that there are monsters or aliens in the house so they ran away and closed they house because they were scared of thing that they don't even know if it exist. I think the house itself acts like many symbols. I think one of the symbols that the house represent is the life, the world. Because everything happened in the house, it is like the world, because we all live in the world and everything  happens in the world. It also acts like life because the scary noises are challenges you have to go through. It is also a pause button. Because it seems like the two characters are living in a life that doesn't change at all, and everyday they do the same thing and only stay in the house. So it acts like a pause in time and the two characters are stuck there. I think the noises in the house acts or represents or symbolizes the challenges and new things in life. They are like challenges and new things in life because just like the noises, if we don't overcome the fear and take the challenge and try new things, then we will always be hiding, hiding from the noises, the challenges, and barriers, the reality The the two man characters act like the people who refuses to move on or take new challenges, so they are pause in time and they stay in the same place. And all they do is hide.
