18) Do you think the storytelling in "House on Loon Lake" is effective? Why or why not? Did it keep your interest? What factors contributed to the storytelling (example: music) and how did Ira and Company set the mood for the tale?
Yes of course the storytelling in "House on Loon Lake" is effective. Since it is a mystery story and the story telling bring us a mystical environment. It kept my interest all the time. The conversation contributed to the storytelling. Ira and company set the mood for the tale by speaking in a special tone when something happen and some background music to warn us there is something going to happen.
