today we met the characters of the book the main 10 at least. the book is epistolotory which means that the book is written in the form of either journal or diary entries even letters. so each entry comes from a different character the first one we read today was jonathon. so far he has learned about the region to which he will be travelling it is very superstitious and he is interested to learn about why. an old woman began the spooking when she told him about the eve of st george where at the midnight hour all the most evil things come out and she gave him a crucifix and said it's for your poor mother or something so that must be very re-assuring.before he leaves for the carraige ride evryone at the station gives him an omenous blessing adding to his confusion.on the carraige ride to the castle and everyone else is talking in their languages about satan and wolves and evil things. the land is beautiful and amazing with grassy hills sweeping pines and groves of fruit trees but jonathon feels uneasy and he doesnt know why...
