Annotations
• In my annotations I saw symbolism, imagery,
and irony because it said that “The ghosts will
find the buried treasure, but the ghosts have
been there for a very long time but they still
haven't found the buried treasure.’’ which is
irony

Summary of Haunted House
• The short story of a Haunted House is about a ghost couple, husband
and wife, who walk around the house that was once theirs. Their
reason for being there is because they are searching for a buried
treasure. And whenever you’d wake up there would be a door
shutting. As the people of the house hear the doors and windows
opening and shutting they know that there are ghost in the house but
she is not scared of the ghosts causing harm to them. The ghosts are
scared that the couple now living in the house might have already
found the treasure. The ghost couple searches every single room of
the house, going back and forth, double-checking everything. The
climax of the story is when the ghost couple comes to the conclusion
that the couple occupying the house has never found buried treasure
and it could possibly be in the garden. The ghost couple also realizes
that the treasure is actually safe and is still in fact theirs.

the house have never found the
treasure and it could possibly be in the
garden. The ghost couple also realizes
that the treasure is actually safe and is
still in fact theirs.
What I think about the story
• I think that the story was a good story because
It talks about two couples that want to find a
treasure. Its funny because they been their
looking for the treasure for a long time and still
haven't found it and think the living people have
found it.
Reflections
• I will keep reading to improve because I need
more help to make a better grade in my classes
and so I can get a better grade in the STAAR.
