Mary Shelly starts the book of Frankenstein in a way like no other. She starts off with 4 letters written from a man named Robert Walton to his sister Margaret. Walton tells his sister about his voyage and during this time is when we (the readers) see his feelings, thoughts, and the people and dangers he encounters. Walton meets a mysterious stranger that foreshadows the book of Frankenstein. If I were to write a ghost story, I would probably find it effective to start with something , such as letters, to foreshadow and provide the readers with more knowledge just like Mary Shelly did. I would do this because it will set up the base of the story. Although it may confuse people,confusion may make the story more interesting because the readers would want to keep reading and find out more. There could possibly be a twist and it could draw the readers into the story.
