C. Question 1: Comment on the opening. How effective? How does it try and hook you? What is introduced?
Answer: The opening of "Harry" is quite effective, because it makes you think that the story will be a horror story, and it hooks you onto keep reading, because it makes you want to keep reading to find out why the name Harry can scare someone, or cause someone such stress. What is introduced in this story is that Harry is someone that causes anxiety to someone who knows a girl called Christine.
D. What elements of Horror, and which elements are used/ can be found in the short story?
The elements of Horror that are in this story would be not being able to see Harry, but you can hear Christine talking to him, so when you look he's not there. Christine going missing and not being able to be found. Harry picking her up from school even though he was dead, and the old crazy woman who knew what happens to Christines birth family.
E. What do you learn about the way people interact through this short story?
I learned that people interacted through many different ways and it dosen't have to just be talking, it can be through feelings, body motions, and paranormal encounters.
