The few things that we know about them are similar to Rodrick's family's lifestyle. The grandparents and the parents of both families died the same day and they looked like each other. There were pictures of this similar family everywhere in the house and nobody never had the idea of removing them. There were pictures of Roderick and Madeline. Al least that's what they thought but it wasn't them. It was the kids of the other family , they weirdly disapeared and nobody knew where. Roderick and Madeline were convinced that the pictures represented them and it was strange how much they recognized themselves even beyond the look]]> 2018-01-29 08:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225513784 Dune’s story https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225741617 A long time ago, a family built a mansion far from the city. This family spent some years in the house feeling sick, they had to leave the house to feel normal again. But after a certain period of time, they all started to feel observed and inconfortable in the mansion, so they wanted to get away from it. Unfortunately the family was very poor and couldn’t just leave the house, they had nowhere to go and no money to leave elsewhere. One day, the grandmother and the grandfather passed away at the same time, after a fit of madness. It happens on the 1st of April 1854. One month after both the parents disappeared and the children never found them. The two children decided to sell the house, but no one wanted to buy a mansion as far from the city and in this state. So to get rid of the house, they put the house up for sale for 100$. Unfortunately the house wasn’t bought until 1954, after decades. And the lineage was already long gone… ]]> 2018-01-29 17:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225741617 Tasnim's story https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225752823 Once upon a time in 1806, there was a family. The grand mother, Elizabeth who was forced to be married an older man, but before the wedding she had twins a boy and a girl known as Sarah and John. Few years later, Sarah and John were locked in the cellar of the house by their mother to ensure that nobody learns their existence while she left every night. Therefore both children didn't have choice and any escape to leave this room. Subsequently they're expecting for a baby named Madeline. One year later, Roderick was born and after his birth Sarah passed away because she was extremely tired. Since her spirit is in the house. By means of to reproducing with each other, the lineage is doomed. This curse affects only the women because everything is begun with Elizabeth who was the first while her spirit haunted the house and then the spirit of Sarah. We can suppose if Madeline dies her spirit will haunt the house....]]> 2018-01-29 17:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225752823 Mercedes's story https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225867298 The year is 1810 and John was very proud of the way that was taking his life with his family who seemd perfect without having to worry about.

To start , the family who lived in this house had the same family structure as the Rodrick’s family. But they moved and sold their house for some weird reasons. The precedents grandparents were friends with the grandparents of her .
Sometimes the children of the precedent grandmother « played» with them in some strange way.
The grandmother said that they had every to hide themselves ,that they were not safe from hard. She was always afraid about something in the house, but she never told the reason. Maybe now they know ... 
One day they suddenly disappeared ,the spell of the mansion could go if it’s inhabited .
So the Roderick’s family take over their it and gradually the grand mother and her daughter takes the same curse as the precedent grandmother and died strangely. 
Therefore the sister takes the same decease but she never understood why her twins had it too . 
This will remain an eternal mystery ....

Why ?  Would you ask. Because he was different , different people are still considered crazy . This famous Andrew was hypersensitive , always locked at home because the outdoor light burned his eyes , his ears away from the noises , he hated the noise.However even tough his house seemed to be his protection, he often complained about this one .
 He said that he felt choking,dying. Was it because of this house or others ? Wathever it's in this house that he committed sucide , found with bloody wrists , his blood ran down his desk ,mixing with the ink of his poems.
We say today that this house is haunted but not for all, only those who are hypersensitive such as Roderick and Madeline, they are attacked by the bad waves.

The wife was known by all the people from the nearest town like the craziest person of the country. Some people were persuaded that she was possessed.

Furthemore i appreciate the Nouhaila's style indeed the style fluose  is very easy to read .
We can make a link between the first story and the second which is that it's difficult for the reader to understand what kind of ideas or emotions the author want to conveys .
And there's loads of elements that we could found in a gothic story such as the portraits , the gloomy atmosphere.  
And in conclusion,even if it's personnal , i like the difficult things ,the weird things that's why it's my favourite story .]]> 2018-01-30 08:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225963174 Nouhaila's choice https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225963410 I chose Marie's story because I think that it's the most well written and I like her writing style.Her story is full of imagination I really enjoyed it.
Furthermore, in the short story Roderick and Madeline are sensitive and Marie used that in her story i found it very clever coming from her because it was unexpected. To end Marie's story is the one that catch my attention because all of this but most of all for the writting.]]> 2018-01-30 08:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225963410 https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225963413 2018-01-30 08:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225963413 Dune's choice https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225963426 In my opinion, the best prequel is Marie's story because I find it original and I did not expect this. I find it coherent to The Fall Of The House Of Usher because the symptoms of her character Andrew are similar to Roderick and Madeline's.
Also, I really enjoy the way she describe the death because it is realistic with all the details.
In addition, I don't know if it really is a link but I like the fact that her character is a poet like Edgar Allan Poe.]]> 2018-01-30 08:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225963426 Tasnim's opinion https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225964180 To my mind, the best prequel is Mercedes's story because her story and The Fall Of The House of Usher have a good link between them and some things are consistent to the original story.  Dune had some good ideas but I think her dates are not coherent with The Fall Of The House Of Usher. But all of the them did well.]]> 2018-01-30 08:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225964180 Mia's choice https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225964192 to my mind the best prequel is Marie's storie because im crazy about the way she explain the things, i think that she knows how to stand out. her style is different,she has a personal touch.
Morever i like the story because her point of view is clear ,she respected the principals points of the real story of the house of usher:]]> 2018-01-30 08:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/225964192 Mercedes's choiCE https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/226167451
As far as i’m concerned, I enjoyed reading  Marie’s story because I reckon it’s coherent with The fall of the house of Usher  in a spirit of madness like Roderick and Madeline, it’s very grim and thrilling especially at the end. She speaks about the haunted house so it’s a link with Poe’s story. 
I also have mixed feelings about Dune’s story and Nouhaila’s as well because both stories are page-turning and well-written. In the nouhaila’s one we find a gloomy mood and mystery. It also reminds me Poe’s story. 
Tasnim’s story can also be coherent, she spoke about the lineage, it’s an original idea such as everyone else.

She was a lonely child, living in a mansion with her fortunate parents. Having no contact with the exterior world, and extremely busy parents, she would usually play with her brother Rodrick. One day, the father went completely crazy, killed his wife, and beat his son.The two children, sad and alone, comitted incest, and it remained a dark secret in this house. Madeline felt guilty and sickened by her action, so she took distances with her brother, but she started depressing because of her constent loneliness.
She wished one day to have a new friend, and trapped somehow a dark wandering spirit on the walls of the house, wich made it become a living being.
The evil spirit took Madeline and Rodrick responsible for its fate, and haunted them with their secret, driving them to madness, so that he could be set free.
Their lives become neverending nightmares, until Rodrick's friend comes to the mansion and watches evereything fall apart.]]> 2018-01-30 21:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/226355861 Anita's choice https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/226366877 I reckon Tasnim's and Marie's stories are really well made.
I can't choose between the two stories, because they are both very original and coherent to Poe's novel.]]> 2018-01-30 22:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/226366877 Mia(b https://padlet.com/marionbrossard/aqo4ktznrn9b/wish/226745658 The end of the commentary 
  • She didn’t forget that rodrick can’t see too much light, and that he can’t stand the noise 
  • He’s also hypersensitive since childhood 
  • The mansion has the bad waves
