Does my book seem similar to a movie

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by. Louis Stevenson
Chapter 9 of 10

From the look of this book I feel that I have not read anything as similar or just alike from what I have read so far. Basically at this point of the story a lot of secrets are being brought out and leaked into the minds of people who are trying to find out about a couple of murders that went on earlier in the story. If you were curious about something, wouldn't you look into it?
So far from reading the book I witnessed that it reminds me of a certain movie that i have seen in the past but is not pretty similar. It basically has sort of similar settings but not just alike. one part of the story shows that certain people are trying to figure out who may be the serial killer of murders of people that they were close to. This is the reason why this particular book is a reminder of this movie and also seems alike. The way the story and the movie are different are that they are taken in different parts of the world. Considering to the book it seems that there are a lot more details into what is going on and in the movie it just seems that it just get straight to the point.

As a caring and nice person that I am, I would try my hardest to find and catch the person that has done something to someone I know, would you do the same?

One day it was poring down raining and Karen had to walk to work because her mother was to tired to get up and drive her to work. Karen instantly realized it was a six-block hike. So she got her belongings and started to troop. About a block or two down a lady pulls over and ask Karen for the directions to the same Day Care Karen was employed at. Karen had started to direct her but the lady told Karen to get in the car that way Karen don't have to walk in the rain and also direct towards the right direction.

Count Draculas victim Jonathan Harker pages 40-73

Jonathan had traveled from London to Transylvania. Now sitting in the library of his host dracula (says his diary). It was abou an hour after sunset and in the back of his mind he knows that soon the tall skinny vampire will appear to greet him. Jonathan is still tense when the doorknob turns. When Dracula enters he has a smuerk on his face. Jonathan decribed his apperance as having a heavy moustache , cruel looking , with sharp teeth that came over his lips. Jonathan thinks he is there to do bussiness with dracula but by the look on draculas face he has other plans. How would you react if you were in Jonathans position?

Breaking Up With Someone You Truly Care About.

The Third Eye by Lois Duncan is still quite fascinating, reading a total of 30 pages.Karen have kind of gotten away from playing the psychic roll. Going to her senior prom with her boyfriend was fun for her but at the same time it was kind of depressing because they had broken up moments after their prom night. A few days later they both were graduating from high school, as she walked across the stage she seen Tim and kind of got upset. But then she seen her parents smiling and waving at her and she felt better, because she had someone there that loved and cared about her. Karen's mother wanted her to go out with Tim but she didn't know they had broken up.Her mother kept insisting that she go out and Karen kept turning down the offer. Karen's mother wondered why Karen didn't want to go out with Tim so Karen finally came out and told both her mother and father that they were not dating anymore.When the news was broken to her mother she felt bad because she kept pressuring Karen to go out. Moments later her mother told her to take the car and go out with some of her friends but Karen still didn't budged. Karen finally went in her room and started thinking about Tim and how he went out with his friends and no one invited her.In a way I kind of felt bad for Karen because one of the most important days of her life was hard for her because the boy that she liked was no longer with her.

My 1st post on the gener horror

Dracula by Bram Stoker pages 1-40. The book draclais basically about an evil man who has been dead four sometime now but he still walks the earth. He is a vampire that is smart and cruel. He has to stay out of the light so he usually never comes out until night time to look for his victimes. Dracula lives in a dark castle i guess its suppose to be a mysterious place, were terror is constant. It is said that anyone who enters rarely survives .My first impression of this book is not really a good one I have to force myself to read it. Its not really that scary so i dont see why the book is set as the gener horror.

2nd blog dr.jekyll and mr.hyde ps. 38-50

One of Dr. Jekyll's butlers seems to find out what is going on with him inside of his laboratory that make him find out that Dr. Jekyll is the evil Mr. Hyde with the very distinctive voice of a killer. In my opinion if i were to find out that my master was the killer of many different people i would call the police in a hurry. Even though there is a lawyer by my side my advice is to call the police as soon as possible. During this time Dr. Jekyll orders the butler and the lawyer Mr. Utterson to leave him alone and close the door shut. Those will be the exact directions i would take just to keep myself safe if I know that person is physically changing and deforming right before my eyes.

Being Told You'll Do Something Without Your Approval.

I'm still continuing to read the book called The Third Eye By, Lois Duncan. For the past two days I've managed to read a total of 23pages. Often Karen receives a vibe that can tell you where missing children are. One of the police officers is aware of her gift, because she helped him find a missing boy that she was babysitting one day. The officer was astonished how Karen can pick up a vibe just by seeing the young boys belongings and visualizing his face. Just a few days later a young girl was missing, and the same officer assisted the mother whom lost her daughter. The officer told the mother how he knew a girl who can sense where missing children are and volunteered her to help out with this case. At the same time Karen didn't know what the officer had done until hours later. He went to Karen's house and told her what had happen and how he had volunteered her to help out. Karen was very upset because she thought he had no right to do that. Even though she didn't want to Karen helped the worrying mother but not for the officer but for the mother. Towards the end Karen was upset because she couldn't pick up a vibe of where the young girl might be and it kind of bothered her because she wasn't able to help.
