"Down The Dark Ha!!"

Down The Dark Hall

The book is amazing. It is about a girl named it who father died and her mother was going to a honeymoon with her step father. They were going for a year.They decided to drop Kit off at a boring school that used to be  called "The old Brewer place"which got burned when Mr.Brewer was at a business 
 trip and his entire family got burned and died before anyone could save them. Then madam Duret bought the house and created a boarding school and when the children applied there were only four kids who got picked. They were Kit ,Sandy,Linda,Ruth and they had all something in common ,they all had there parents or at least one parent dead....

Opinion
I was curious when I started reading the book weather they would all die,Why they weren't getting there letters mailed' Why the lock was on the outside of the door,

Poem  by Shel Silverstein

Where the Sidewalk Ends
from the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (1974)

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
and before the street begins,
and there the grass grows soft and white,
and there the sun burns crimson bright,
and there the moon-bird rests from his flight
to cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
and the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
we shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow
and watch where the chalk-white arrows go
to the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
and we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
for the children, they mark, and the children, they know,
the place where the sidewalk ends.

          Reasons why I choose this poem

1.I think that the poem is talking about what a  side walk is  like.The kids playing drawing with calk.There is small little flowers or grass the side.

2.This poem stuck out because it is reality being its best. It shows how thing can be special if you just look around and you will see how beautiful nature really is.

3.I may be able to relate to this poem because I love looking at nature.It is the worlds most beautiful thing.Plus my parents always think that electronics will make you happy so they buy me everything.Yet I don't use them,all I do is look out the window or go outside because it is a wonderful thing.

4.In my opinion the writer was happy writing this because he took nature and described it in a beautiful way.
