In “The Haunting of Hill House”, Jackson uses a third person point of view in order to create an ambiguous feeling during the supernatural experiences which leads to confusion of whether the novel falls under the sub-genre female gothic, or not. Jackson starts the novel with a very powerful quote: “No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.” (1). That famously known quote is very ambiguous and evokes suspense. The sub-genre female gothic conventions consist of an old haunted house, mystery and suspense, supernatural experiences, women distress during a transition to adulthood or motherhood, repressed emotions, an aspect of feminism, heroic male figure, dark, and horror. The Haunting of Hill House consists of some of the female gothic conventions but lacks others. Viewing the supernatural experiences from a third person point of view allows the reader to have an insight of the situations.

Then in the early 1970’s, a large seed reservoir was present and effectively cultivated a crop of spotted knapweed where the soil had once been disturbed (SCWD, n.d.). This infestation had remained unattended to until 1983, when the Stillwater Mining Company began operations. The Stillwater Mining Company began aggressive measures to control the spotted knapweed, but the weed had established itself and began spreading to adjoining private and public properties.

In the beginning of the movie the director show us the small town of Wirrawee that was once a peaceful, even a boring place. Somewhere you would think it's very unlikely to run into armed soldiers. But when it is occupied by enemy forces, Wirrawee transmuted drastically. Ellie sitting in the once facilely recognisable garden of family friends, Mrs Alexander, knowing that enemy soldiers are approaching, Ellie must have felt terrified.

Marijuana is listed under one of the ancient and prohibited drugs with high rate of use for both medical and recreational purposes (Grinspoon and Bakalar qtd. in Lucas et al. 435). It has been used for the last 5000 years around the world by both legal and illegal ways. Furthermore, Grinspoon and Bakalar in their research say that “despite the high rate of recreational use and over 5000 years of therapeutic applications, this plant has resulted in relatively few serious negative physical or social impacts beyond the consequences associated with legal prohibitions on its use” (Lucas et al. 435).

He usually satirized them as evildoers and sin creators, not holy and Christ zealous as they described themselves. Hawthorne also used the effects of mysterious human mind and spontaneous action to describe the Puritan as satanic worship and God disobedience. In result, his writing reflected much of his Puritan ancestry affections.
