I watched a Halloween version of ICarly to compare this TV show with the reality of life for 4th and 5th graders. First of all, it seems that the children in this show live with a big brother, which is very possible. (Although he may have trouble finding as big a pumpkin as was found.) In addition, the rumors about a haunted room seems in tune with what students might hear – there are always rumors about something being haunted. Most children, however, do not have a web show to view this type of thing on. Still, with our increasing use of technology this could be in the near future. Also, children at this age might wish to face their fears and test the rumors. It was also sensible that none of the things that scared the children in the house were real.
