'The Rivals' is about a boy who don't belive in ghosts and he live in a new house that the house next door was haunted. This house had changed a lot of time the milkman said their that in this house had stranges noises. After the breaksfast he went to the garden and he saw a young girl playing, he thougth that he hadn't got any friends and perhaps the girs had got any brothers for playing with him but the girl told him that in the house had a ghost of the woman who was muredered in her bed. The boy went with her at this room at midnight because is when the woman's ghost appear. Finally when the ghost appear and Jonh(the boy) never see Lucy(the girl) never and the ghost desappeared of the house.
We think that it's a good story because is an interesnting story.
The Rivals John Pearce was a clever boy who won a lot of prizes. And he, of course, doesn't believe in ghosts. One day the milkman tells John that the house wich his family was, it was an haunted house.
One day, John goes into the garden and sees a pretty girl. He said 'hello to the girl hoping she become his friend. They start talking about the haunted house and she tells him about the ghost that want to drive her out of the house. John thinks that the ghost is the girl's mother and is surprised because he doesn't believe in ghosts. John doesn't believe in her and thinks it's a joke. The ghost says he will be lost if John doesn't believe her.After the ghost dissapearance, the girl dances because the house is all her now and John never saw her again.
In my opinion, I think this story hasn't got an original final. It has got an interesting plot, but it hasn't a final so good. This types of stories are interestings because they are about sobrenatural things, and sobrenatural means difference, people likes difference things not common.
John Pearce was a clever boy who moved to a new house with his parents. The milkman told them that the house next door was haunted. John did not believe in ghosts. The house next door was a dark house and its windows were covered by Nottingham lace. John went to the garden and saw a pretty, young girl playing with a ball. He was sad because normally girls did not like him. But they started to talk and joking he asked: `Have you seen any good ghosts?´ and she answered: `yes´. John did not believe in her but she was really frightened. In the night, he went to the home with Lucy.
They went to a large room and Lucy's mother appeared saying: `Oh I am murdered, murdered in my bed´ `October the second, it was, in the year of disgrace, 1872´. He said that he doesn't believe in her and she desappeared. Lucy was very happy because now the whole house was for her. She strarted to dance but her feet made no soun on the boards and they left no prints in the dust. She kissed him and she vanished. He grow up and became famous. He never saw her again. He never married but he said: `A pretty girl one loved me´.
We like the story because is an interesting story about ghost and it can have different ends. When you start to read you can not stop.
John Pearce was a boy who believe in many things, like atoms and molecules, microbes,etc. He and his parents had moved into a new house but the those whose was next to his house was strange and perhaps with ghosts said the milkman. John went into the house and there saw a little child, a girl. The girl's name was Lucy Wilkins. Lucy talked with John and she said that in her house there was ghosts and it was searching and looking for her.` At the end John helped Lucy and Lucy never appeared. We think is a good history because while you are reading the book you don't know what is going to happend after so it's very interesting.
John Pearce is a clever sensible boy. His attitude towards life is very rational and he does not believe in ghosts. One day the milkman tells John and his family that the house next door is haunted and that the present inhabitants have been there only 5 weeks. After breaksfast John goes into de garden and sees a pretty girl dancing in thegarden next door. John has no friends, so he says hello to the girl hopping that she has a brother who migth become his friend. The girl tell John about a ghost that wants to drive her out of the house. At around midnight the moon is full and after a series of strange and wild screams, a female figure shows up. She looks terrible. John thinks that she is the girl´s mother and is surprisedand irritated because he does not believe in ghost. She recounts that she was murdered in her bed. The ghost says she will be lost if John do not believe in her. She slowly fades away. He tries to convince himself that the woman cannot be a ghost. After the ghost disappearance, the girl exclaims " she is gone, you did it! Then the girl dances happily because the house is all hers now. She dances on the floor but makes no noise. The girl thanks John and vanishes. John realises the girl is a ghost, too.
In our oppinion we love all the stories about sinister and this story had been one of them. Was amaizing how the girl became ghost and things like that tha you don´t expect in this stories are nice.
The rivals tell the story of Jhon Pearce, a clever boy that believed in many things he had not seen, but however he didn't believe in ghosts. The milkman told him and his family that the house was haunted, but Jhon didn't believe him.
One day he saw a young pretty girl that was playing with a ball. She said him she was seen a ghost and she asked for help to Jhon, so he offered to stay all night in the haunted room. When he was in the room at midnight the door was opening and a figure appeared. It was a lady who said she was murdered in her bed in 1872, and also said she will be lost unless Jhon believes in her, but he didn't believe in ghosts. Then, the ghost dissapeared and Lucy was dancing on the floor, she cried 'It's mine! The whole house!' she danced in front of the mirror but there was no reflection. She kissed Jhon, gives thanks to him and she said she loves him. He never saw her again, he grew up and became rich, but he never married. He was felt in love of Lucy.
We don't like the story because it is about ghosts and we don't like them, also we don't believe in them. It is a story without sense and we don't like it.
SUMMARY: The book is about a boy called John Pearce. He is a clever boy but he doesn't believe in ghosts. One day, when he arrived to his new house, the milkman told to his family that the house next door was haunted, but he laughed and didn't believe it. It was a dark house in which no one could stand it any longer. After breakfast, John went into the garden of the haunted house and saw a girl playing with a ball. They started to talk about the ghosts, and Lucy, (the girl) said him that the ghost comes to her house each midnight when the moon is full. although he doesn't believe in ghosts, he decides help Lucy, because she was frightened. So when he comes into the house, which had no furniture and was covered with dust, there were screams, wild, despairing, unearthly... and the ghost of Lucy's mother appeared with a bad look like. The ghost tries that John believes in her (for not dissapear) but John didn't do. he get that the ghost left the house and Lucy becomes in its only owner. But at this moment, Lucy (who also was a ghost) dissapear. John never saw her again and never get married, but on summer nights, he remembers Lucy, the girl who once loved him.
OUR OPINION: In our opinion the "Rivals" is an interesting and exciting story. It's one of the few stories about ghosts that has a credible end, without any human deaths. In general, we like it because John never stop to believe that ghosts don't exist, even when he sees one of them. Also because when the ghost of Lucy's mother appears he isn't a bad or rude boy, he's polite and nice and he's interested in her, he offers its his help.
