Our next stop is the rising action. The rising action is the series of events that follow the exposition and leads to the climax, or the highest point in the story.
Rising action for DADH As the Rollands came into the mansion a woman who was all gray opened the door but didn’t let them in and repeated that today the school wasn’t opened yet until Madame Duret came and greeted them in. They had a drink in the pleasantly furnished room with a fireplace and a wide screen TV or the parlor as Madame Duret states. She takes the Rollands on a tour around the house/school. Kit’s room had a bed of carved dark wood with a high canopy of rich red velvet. Beside it was a small table bearing an ornament lamp with a ruffled shade. Heavy gold draperies bordered a window, and against the opposite wall stood a walnut bur, over which hung over an oval mirror with a gilded frame. A Persian carpet covered the floor, and under the window stood a roll top desk with a study lamp.
Later that day at dinner Kit met Professor Farley and Jules. Slim and fine-boned with glossy black hair framing a face so perfect he might be a movie star. The next day Kit meets Sandy, Ruth, and Lynda. Soon, though, as they start settling in strange things started happening; Sandy keeps seeing a person called Ellis, Lynda stars painting magnificent paintings, Ruth started doing complicated math problems, Kit’s painting was stolen by someone, then they find out they all have ESP. Kit remembers the day her father died, no one believed that she had saw his ghost beside her bed. They find out some background info about the Brewer family, how they all died from Natalie ending with Madame Duret firing Natalie. But later, after awhile Kit saw a reflection in the mirror… a man…standing right behind her. Everyone came to see what had happened. After kit explained Madame Duret convinced her that it was an illusion. But she wasn’t totally convinced. After the excitement calmed down, the rest of the days returned to normal until Kit awoke one night and found herself playing the piano with Jules recording her. She immediately questioned Jules, but didn’t get much so she called a meeting demanding to know what was going on. She found out the truth, they were all being used as tools and being controlled by sprits to record down what they didn’t have time to do. Then Professor Farley told them their letters weren’t being sent out.
After this piece of info was exposed the classes all disappeared and the pretending with it. Nevertheless Kit continued to write a letter to Tracy. As Kit went downstairs she found Natalie and gave her the letter, but she didn’t add the address. One night when it was raining the power went out and kit went straight to the phone, but the line was dead. Jules found her and they argued, the flashlight shined on a new picture of a woman being tortured painted by Lynda. Then kit convinced Jules to look into her mother’s private files, the he took her to the parlor promising to take her home. There she saw her friends (except Lynda) and Jules exposed what happened to the other girls in the other schools. They were all driven insane and sent to a mental institute; and four died as a result of the process of the tests. Then Ruth and Sandy threw their new masterpieces into the fire.
