Author’s Style

Gaston Leroux used a fluently language but I couldn’t understand something. Because, I haven’t been in Pre-Intermediate level, yet but this book is for Intermediate people. But if I am an Intermediate person, I would think that the author used simple words and sentences so I would say that the language was understandable.

My favourite character is

• ERIK. Because he is mad and so am I. So I love somebody who is mad. If I am Erik, I would do the same thing and I would combat for my love. So he is my favourite character.

The lesson you have to take:

• I think we mustn’t fight against a ghost because they are very dangerous but in this story the ghost love Christine and he never hurt her. Only he caught and hid her so he was very emotional and sensitive. At the end he has already understood everything about he couldn’t fall in love with Christine who loved Raoul.

How would I promote the story?

• I think this story was very exciting and interesting because in normal life there were no ghost and although there was a ghost in this story, the ghost loved Christine. So it was also a very crazy story.
