And the Haunting Begins

Summary:
All throughout this section of the book more supernatural things are taking place. It was also unfolded that the house chose Eleanor out of the four of them. Eleanor keeps seeing her name in random places and it’s just her name and no one else's. She is very scared but decided to deal with it so the rest of them wouldn't make fun of her. At first Theodora started saying that Eleanor wrote her name in the hallway just to get attention and after that Eleanor started disliking Theodora. Then at night Theodora screamed and Eleanor went in there to see the room stained in red paint even though Theodora kept saying it was blood. On the wall behind her bed they also saw that Eleanor’s name was written again in the paint. Afterwards Eleanor and Theodora took a walk outside and they encountered a picnic in which there were children laughing and playing around. Then they left running because it wasn't real and they were frightened. Furthermore, towards the end of this section, Dr. Montague's wife came to stay at Hill House too with Arthur, her driver. So far no one likes her for the stuck-up attitude she's been having.

Quote:
"Can you read it? Luke asked softly, and the doctor, moving his flashlight, read slowly: Help Eleanor come home" (Jackson 146).

Response:
This quote is showing how Eleanor's name first came up in the house's hallway. As soon as Eleanor saw this she was very panicky and scared, but everyone especially Dr. Montague tried to make her feel better. Nevertheless, Theodora was just making comments in which made Eleanor get very angry. Then in Theodora's wall it said, "help Eleanor come home Eleanor" (Jackson 155). This means that Eleanor is truly wanted by the house since it basically had the same thing written in both places. The only difference is that in the second message her name was written twice and in the first message, it was written once.
