IN THE
DREAMHOUSE
• Fit’s in with the spy genre of having a secret
you need to hide from everyone.
• The isolation it makes you feel since you are the
only one that knows the truth and the adrenaline
of trying to keep it from everyone.
• Carmen doesn’t feel like “those ordinary
citizens” she feels like a spy because of that
secret she is keeping from everyone and the way
she is doing stuff such as hiding and being very
cautious of her surroundings is something a spy
goes through every day due to the nature of their
job.
