Read these sentences from the ReadWorks passage, "Cabin in the Woods".

“‘This has to be it, Leesh,’ Jessica whispered, her eyes widening with excitement and concern.

“‘Be what?’

“‘The cabin Joey told us about over the summer. Don’t you remember?’

“Felicia had pushed it to the back of her mind, but now she remembered. Jessica’s brother Joey was full of stories, mostly the kind you didn’t want to hear because they’d keep you up all night, worrying they’d make their way into your dreams.”

Based on this information, what can you conclude about what Joey told Jessica and Felicia about the cabin?

In general, what makes us afraid of falling asleep is something horrifying. For most people, horror movies or stories will do the trick, especially if they think they will dream about whatever it is they saw or that was described. This seems to be the case with the cabin Joey described. He probably talked of an abandoned cabin in the woods, where creaking noises can be heard and where hikers claim to have seen a ghost or monster of some kind. No wonder Felicia would push it to the back of her mind. Such a description would certainly make her afraid, maybe even make its way into her dreams.
