when you try to create your own distinctive identity sometimes you lose the culture of your parents. but in creating your own identity you don't have to lose what your parents instilled in you just build upon it. money has always been something that was an interest to me and at a young age my mother taught me the value of a dollar getting the most out of my money how to save etc. now that I am older and I really am getting to know what I want in life I am able to use money in a more productive way I know how to save and manage and make more money just from my mother teaching me a little at a young age. and my mother also taught me to never be a close minded person learn as much about the world as you can possibly learn and it will take you farther in life. that has caused me to meet new people it makes doors open and makes me happy because im able to figure my self out and know what I like and what I want and it drives me to acquire those things. so even though those were just lessons my mother taught me that was apart of her own distinctive culture and it built me as a person and I was able to establish an identity.  

haunted house to fall of the house of usher

fall of the house of usher is an amazingly written story. What makes these types of storys great in my opinion is the word usage. For example Poe uses words like "dreary" and "gloom" to give the reader a since of eeriness. Most good scary stories or haunted house storys are able to get the reader to feel a certain way by their use of words and Poe does this.
      secondly a good haunted house story is able to capture the reader and make you want to finish the story you are interested in whats going to happen next. I also felt a connection with the main character in the story I felt like I was their with him and I usually don't get that sucked in to a story.
      Finally a good haunted house story can create a since of scariness before monsters ghost etc are introduced a good haunted house story doesn't need anything extra the extra just adds more to the story to make it better but you know its good if it relys on its self as a base to get the point across.
