chapter 8

that was a vital chapter i think. this answers alot of my questions. i knew that these diary extracts from Mina would be important to the plot but i found it hard to guess how. we can see as the reader that Dracula has taken a boat to England and has on the journey snacked on the crew of the ship whilst living in a wooden box. his ship has stopped of at the same beach resort (Whitby) as where Mina and her friend Lucy are staying. im also guessing that the dog that jumped of the ship was Dracula himself ( infact im sure because liturally strieght after i read this chapter i turned on the TV to Derren Brown who said " im at Whitby the place were Dracula first touched British soil, in the shape of a big black scary dog, was really strange!!!)

i would like to know however what he is going to do in Britain and what has happened to Mr Harker. im also dying to know how the other characters diary extracts aid the plot of the story and how they come across Dracula and whether they survive this encounter.
