There' s a novelist who lost his daugher and never believed in ghost and spirit, if he didn't face by himself. He always go to many places where he had ever heard about ghost and spirit to prove that this belief's not the truth, and it's misunderstanding. Once a day, he recieved a postcard from a hotel in New York City with the message "don't enter to the room 1408". It challenged him, and he wanted to prove the room 1408. When he arrived the hotel, a receptionist didn't allow him to rent the room because whoever rent this room, they never came back and died. However, finally he could got the room. While he was staying in the room, he was haunted and he met his daugher, so he was really confused and crazy like staying in the haunting house. After he left the room 1408, he went to recover in the hospital, moreover he found vdo tape that was recorded when he met his duagher, so now he belives in ghost and spirit.

And Aubrey Fleming is a recent victim for him, a bright young woman who is a pianist and a good writter, she disappears when she is go ing to hang out with her friends at night. After that nobody knows where she is, so Fbi is trying to find her before everything will be too late. Once a day, someone finds her and sends her to a hospital. Her parents look after her closely, but when she recovers and begins to talk, she says she is not Aubrey and she has never known her before. She is a dancing at night club, Dakota mosse. A doctor says she was harmed that cause she might not remember anything, so her parents need her to recover in the hospital for a while.

Water of poluttion

In my opinion, people should stop draining polluted water into the rivers. Nowaday, water in the rivers contaminates other things and smell bad. The main thing is human controlling his surroundings and making water of pollution; for example, the chemical in industry changes in water quality that affects living organisms and destroys them in the river that causes disease and deaths in people. Moreover, the water is unsuitable for drinking, recreation and industry, for it's too dirty. In conclusion, to stop draining polluted water into the river will decrease water of pollution and increase a quality of life for people.
