In these next chapters we get even more detail on Johnny's sex life along with more detail about the mysteries of the house. It appears that the hallway changes in accordance with the mental state of the character. Holloway for example has gone mad searching for a monster and shooting at everyone though a monster may only appear to him. Unfortunately this causes the death of Jed and injury of Wax. Navidson and Reston are able to make their way down the staircase very quickly as their mental state had been eager and willing. As the staircase expanded, the text in the book expanded as well. This I found to be very significant. I feel as if the book is written in a way that represents the nature of the hallway; random, distracting, confusing, mysterious, and constantly changing. I believe we will get more of an understanding of the way the hallway works as we get more of an understanding of the way the book is written. In these chapters I enjoyed reading Lude's list as well as Tom's hilarious monologues in the hallway. I was horrified by the death of that poor puppy by the hands of that awful looking woman. I am sure this book contains more entertainment along with many secrets to uncover. Questions:
1. What is the significance of the dead dog?
2. Is there really a monster in the hallways and if not what is that roar?
3. Will the characters make it out alive?
