Ghost Story

Mary Shelley's opening to the novel of Frankenstein was four letters written from Robert Walton to his sister. These letters included who Walton was and what he was doing. They seemed to form a personal connection between him and the reader. After hearing all about Walton and his expedition to the North Pole we met a stranger, who was near death. Walton was so much like the stranger, therefore, the letters were a good way to transition from Walton to the stranger's life.

If I were to write a ghost story, I would begin it with a haunted background of  my topic- something that would grab the readers attention and force them to not let the book out of their hands. It would something so dramatic that they would not mind rereading it thousands of times and recommending it to all of their friends.
