Kids Find a Talking Doll!
Scary Tales One-Eyed doll, James Preller
Whats Going on?
This book called The One Eyed Doll, three kids called Malik, Tiana, and Soda pop. They are on a treasure hunt and they come across this creepy old house which is told to stay away from. They want to look for the treasure and they come across this buried box in the backyard of the house and they dig it up and open the box to find a doll. Tiana then gets really obsessed with this doll and things get creepy. The doll is actually a doll that can move and talk to people and it is going to cause problems for the three kids. Malik is the most responsible so he needs to find out how to destroy the doll to stop the problems from occurring. Malik solves this by visiting the women who had gone insane in that old house to see if she has answers. After this Malik gets in a big fight with the doll and finally gains control of the doll and throws it in the river.
The Doll (Lady Gaga)
I picked lady gaga because she is creepy sometimes and that is the character trait of the doll. I can relate to this because of the way she puts on makeup and dresses up. She dresses up like the doll in ways because depending on her music, it can be creepy and she would have to wear creepy dresses and items that are related to look scary. She shows this character trait in the book by how creepy she is at times (in music videos) and how she sings/talks in her music. I think that Lady Gaga is a good choice for this character because she kind of acts like the doll in the book and it is sometimes creepy.
Tiana (Lady Gaga)
I think Tiana has a similar personality to Lady Gaga. I think this because Tiana plays a creepy roll and in Lady Gagas music she also is playing a creepy roll. But the reason I say similar is because in the book, Tiana had been obsessed with the doll and I don’t think Lady Gaga would obsessed with a doll unless its in her music or music videos. This is why I say similar.
Malik (Lady Gaga)
I think Malik is similar to Lady Gaga in ways. I think this because since Malik is responsible and he cares about other people, Lady Gaga cares about other people too (her fans). But I think Lady Gaga is responsible and does responsible things. I think the people that Malik cares about are Tiana and Soda pop because they are the only ones in the book that are his friends (other than the other people because they are the main characters). But other than being responsible I don’t really think that Lady Gaga is like Malik.
The Horror of the Story!
The Horror Music!
This song connects to the book in many ways. I think it connects to the book because when you listen to it and think of the doll and the old house and all the scary stuff in the book. I think that it makes you feel scared because since you are thinking of the book when hearing that song you would just think about how the doll pushed Malik down the stairs. I also think that the biggest reason that this song connects to the book is because of how the music builds up and I can relate that to the book because of when the problems build up.
