Another significant event that happened during Damien’s adulthood is his girlfriend Dominic became pregnant and had his child Damian Seth Azariah who was born approximately before the trial. Domini would later explain that the child’s name is spelt differently than his dad’s due to the fact that it is based on a biblical character. During the trials Damien recalls just how agonizing it was when he stated,”The only thing I can compare it to is if... imagine that today you found a journal that you had written when you were fourteen or fifteen and started reading it, and had to see how much you had changed and grown as a person, and look back on them. It's kind of embarrassing”

She had given this up. All of it. The path of the witches, she had decided, was not hers to take. Wielders of the gift were meant to maintain balance in a world of evil. But those same protectors had fallen prey to greed, pride and an overbearing lust for power. Bethany was raised on the stories of covens going to war and even siding with the monsters they had sworn to destroy. Beth had promised never to choose a side. And to fulfill her promise, she rid herself of her powers. So why was she here, staring at the tattered notebook that contained not only her history of witchcraft but also her magic? Pale, slender fingers flipped through the makeshift grimoire. The nightmares hadn’t stopped. They wouldn’t. Bethany was normally conscious enough to dream lucidly, but the dreams were spiraling out of control. She was aware of the old phrase, “if you die in your dreams you die for real”. That’s what frightened her. Every night she died. Her lack of magic made her vulnerable to attack. The identity of the attacker was unknown. But not

The book I read was I Am a SEAL Team Six Warrior: Memoirs of an American Soldier by Howard E. Wasdin and Stephen Templin. Howard is the main character of the story. The story is about his life, but more importantly it is about how he became a SEAL Team Six member. In order to do this he had to have a lot of admirable qualities. His most admirable quality was his determination to get the job done. It didn’t matter if it was during training or during an actual mission, he did his best to complete what he had started. Howard would be someone that I would want to know. He is caring and doesn’t ever leave a buddy behind. He knows what it is like growing up with a bad father figure, but he perseveres and turns it into fuel to accomplish his goals and dreams.

“Beginnings” as Applied to The Woman Warrior The beginning of Maxine Hong Kingston’s novel, The Woman Warrior, introduces various themes that recur throughout the story. Through the anecdotes Kingston shares about her childhood as a Chinese girl growing up in America, she discusses gender inequality and conflict due to a generation gap and a difference in cultures. By starting off with a story that her mother, Brave Orchid, told her about her dead and forgotten aunt, Kingston applies the techniques suggested in the chapter “Beginnings” in Technique in Fiction, igniting the readers’ curiosity and tying the memoir together. Kingston begins the novel in media res, or “in the middle of things” (Macauley and Lanning 31).

Colonel Kurtz Green Beret Colonel Walter E. Kurtz is an archetypal evil genius. He has a deep understanding of war, and has sacrificed his morality and helplessly resigned himself into a lifestyle of horror. His insanity is subjective. His brutality can be seen as madness, yet it could be argued that his methods could be considered sane in the context of a war which, in itself, is insane. An outstanding member of the US Military, Kurtz was punished for the murder of some people who he believed (and turned out to be) North Vietnamese intelligence agents.
