chapters 5-8

chapter 5...nothing much really happens in this chapter...it just tells us that Mina and her friend Lucy have been sending each other letters writing stories of their love lives and so on. Mina is an assistant schoolmistress and im nt sure about lucy though. however it does tell us that lucy has been proposed by many men but only accpeted one whcih she calls her true love...and that is Arthur Holmwood. mina has told others that harker is on his way home..but little does she know what is really happening there.
chapter 6: in this chapter we find out about mina and lucy's visit to the east coast of england and their interaction with mr swales. again renfield is mentioned in this chapter, the first mention of him was in chapter 5 but know he is introduced and described about more clearly by john seward. he is described as a pretty weird thing, a 'zoophagous' to be accurate whcih i found out just simply means 'feeding of animals-carnivore' so basically most human beings right?? 
chapter 7: this chapter is mostly filled with the matters of the ship and how every day a crew member is found missing. but it does also mention the death of mr swales and how mina thinks it may link with lucy sleepwalking more and more. i think that is pretty much it for chapter 7 that i can remember...
chapter 8: throughout this chapter lucy has become a victim??? she is not alone when mina first sees her but when she gets closer the mysterious person dissappears. she finds to pin wounds on her neck which she herselfr thinks is her own faault. to stop lucy from sleepwalking anywhere mina cleverly locks her room so she doesnt disappear which works. even if it stops her from going anywhere and getting into trouble, trouble seems to now come for her. as her state becomes more and more severe. she is becoming more pale and her wounds keep getting bigger. AND ALSOOOO......after the long disappearance of john he is finally mentioned again in this chapter. he is supposedly in a hungarian hospital suffering from brain damage. Mina so leaves for her husband.
wonder what happened to John after he tried to escape from a failed attack..??
