<span>They told him the house was haunted. They told him the house was </span>
<span>strange. Five families had moved in, and never made it out. Alive </span>
<span>anyway. He had already survived two days with his family. His second </span>
<span>night in his new home, what could possibly happen? </span>
<span>A whispered name. </span>
<span>The boy stirs in his sleep. A pale, vaporous moon lights the room. </span>
<span>Shadows are deep. He twists his head, turning towards the window so </span>
<span>that his face becomes a soft mask, unblemished, colourless. But the </span>
<span>boy’s dream is troubled; beneath his lids, his eyes dart to and fro. </span>
<span>The whispered name: </span>
<span>‘Daniel….’ </span>
<span>Its sound is distant. </span>
<span>The boy frowns; yet the voice is within his own slumber, a silky </span>
<span>calling inside his dream. His arm loosens from dampened bedclothes, </span>
<span>his lips part in a silent murmur. His floating thoughts are being </span>
<span>drawn towards consciousness. The protest trapped in his throat like a </span>
<span>form, emerges as he wakens. And he wonders if he has imagined his own </span>
<span>cry as he stares through the glass at the insipid moon. </span>
<span>There is, in his heart, a dragging sorrow that seems to coagulate the </span>
<span>blood, so that movement in the veins is slothful and wearisome. </span>
<span>Somehow, making all effort to exit a ponderous, perhaps even hopeless </span>
<span>affair. But the whispering, almost sibilant, voice dispels much of </span>
<span>that inner lassitude. </span>
<span>‘…Daniel…’ it calls again. </span>
<span>And he knows its source, and that knowledge causes him to shudder. </span>
Answer:
But when we set out to inform an audience, taking sides or using sarcasm to communicate attitude may divide the audience into groups that agree or disagree with the speaker. The speech to inform the audience on a topic, idea, or area of content is not intended to be a display of attitude and opinion.

This story really shows me that no matter what I'm going through, there are people in the world, sometimes even younger than me, that have much bigger problems and I need to get over mine. Hope this helps!
