Ghost house by alexandra adornetto5/8/2023 ![]() ![]() The ending is a cliff hanger and I am still is hopes that the next edition will tie up all the loose ends and see a slightly more developed Chloe. The tale of the two lovers had me scratching my head to figure out what was going on. By the time I got to the final history of the Alex and Isobel I was flummoxed. ![]() For a good portion of the tale you may have some sympathy for Alex and disgust of Isobel, Joe is almost a paper cutout figure and as too Chloe, at 16 she would have been fine but at 18 her actions/attitude appeared a bit off. If you like ghostly tales this one sets the reader up for the next book. There is a living breathing young man, Joe, who is also interested in Chloe. Sad that we Adornetto fans have to wait so long after thinking we had a second book in a great series to read-but so it is. Chole becomes fascinated with him and Isobel, the ex, goes into violent rages, yes she is still here too. FYI, the sequel to Ghost House is Ghost Hour, due out 6/27/17. It seems Alex made mistakes in his life that he is paying for as an unhappy spirit. An interesting tale of Chloe Kennedy who along with her young brother was sent to live with her grandmother in England where she meets Alex Read a ghost for over 150 years and his evil paramour. ![]()

Being in time heidegger5/8/2023 ![]() In the chapter of the World Hood of the World, Heidegger explains how in order to understand the worldhood of the world, we must understand the environment around us, since the environment is the world’s ‘everydayness’. ‘They’ produces an overall judgement and decision which sets a level, which makes the individual ‘level down’ in order to fit into the averageness of ‘they’. There are a lot of actions and things we do for no particular reason, however, there is an expectation of us to do them because ‘they’ have made it seem that way, such as to shake hands with others. To further explain, ‘they’ are those who have set standards for everybody, ‘they’ can be mainly understood as society. Without Angst, according to Heidegger we are constantly caught up in the ‘they’ and in our ‘everydayness’. ![]() This makes you think and start to wonder about what you should be doing in this one life that you have, Angst can make you question your life choices, making you as true to yourself as you could ever be. ![]() This feeling can be achieved through thinking about one’s death, and that reality that it can happen to everyone, even you. ![]() |
