The beginning of the story gives me an eerie feeling, the way that someone unexpectedly knocks at a house door in the middle of the knight. The yelling and banging is so loud that it wakes up all of the people living in it. This is the same feeling I get as the one I got while watching Jaws for the first time. That dun dun dun dun theme just gives off the creepy feeling that something bad is about to happen, but at the same time leaves you in suspense for what seems like hours, but is actually seconds, before the killer shark appears. This just how I feel while reading this book. This tune is perfect for this moment because it not only makes you feel the same way as does the opening scene, it is also a foreshadowing into what is going to happen throughout the story. A foreshadowing of the troubles that Boy Willie and Lymon’s appearance will bring to Berniece and Doaker’s lives.
