Three page essay about provided text

Please include turn it in report. I would like you to write an essay on the theme of haunting that plays an important part in “Names” I attached the text below. (three full pages).  What does it mean to be "haunted" by something?  Ghosts and other paranormal encounters have many explanations, some religious or metaphysical, some psychological, some even scientific.  We can be "haunted" by memories, by landscapes, by ambitions or challenges, by stories, by questions, by loss.  These are, of course, metaphorical rather than literal meanings of haunting, which is what we will be exploring in this essay assignment.  You certainly don't have to address all of the things listed above in your essay this week; I am merely trying to give a sense of the vastness of the possibilities for this topic.

I would like you to write what is called a definitional argument, which is a fancy way of saying that you are to write an essay explaining a definition of your own.  In this case, I would like you to define what it means "to be haunted."  You can use a simple sentence like "To be haunted means..." if you would like.  It would be a good idea to make your definition explicit in one way or another to help your reader understand how it connects to your story.

Please support your abstract idea about the meaning of "haunting" by telling at least one concrete story that will help your reader to see what you mean.  This story could be of something that metaphorically "haunted" you or someone you know.  You should also use an example from "Names" or another story that will help us to understand your definition.

Whatever sort of examples you use, please pay attention to the needs of your audience.  In other words, make sure a reader who does not previously know these stories will be able to understand them and their connections to your idea.  This means that you will need to tell your reader any background information they will need to know for the story to make sense.  It also means that you will need to supply the details that make the connection between your story and your definition clear.  You should also try to explain how the story and idea fit together after you tell it.  Tell you reader why this story is proof of your definition.
