Journal 61: Taken Over

        I believe on that the brother and the sister are both dead. As ghosts, they repeat the same routine everyday and the time seems just froze at the moment they die. The sister is always knitting, she knits so much that I wonder what will happen to her without the needle and the thread, and the brother dust the house and watch the sister knits. They seem to isolate themselves from the rest of the world.

     When the alive people come into the house, all they can do is run away from it. Normal people wouldn’t stop living at an side of house just because they heard noise there. Or run away from their own house, into the streets with what they have on because they think this side of house is been “taking over”. Those reactions could be explained if the brother and the sister are ghosts. As ghosts, it is ok for them to be out on the streets with what they have on, it is very reasonable for them to be isolate from the rest of the world.

      As a reader, I will have to say that I am very confuse on what the author is trying to say other than scare us off. I guess that he is trying to make us think? by not reveling what has taken over the house.
