One of these things is the hope that Vahan maintains even in difficult times where it may seem impossible. When Vahan moves in with Mr. and Mrs. Tashian he meets a girl named Seta. She lives at the consulate next door and does not have a family still alive either. They become friends and meet at in the fields every day for weeks until she started to no longer show up. Vahan believed that his friend would come back someday and continued to hope and go to the field every day even though he still had not seen her. He continued this for weeks with no results until one day she showed up again. She needed help and because Vahan was still there for her she was able to get the help she needed.

I recommend the book Firestarter because the book has so much excitement. The book also has a lot of mystery. you don’t know what will happen next and you don’t know what happened back in the past. The characters always talk about their past and it explain only a little bit about it. There is so much thrill in the book there is some crazy stuff that happens in the book like how the FBI and CIA follow the dad and daughter. The books excitement is when Andy, the dad, and Charlie, the daughter, were walking down New York late at night and they were being followed. Andy kept trying to get a cab in the middle of the city. When Andy finally got a cab the people who were following him got out the car and tried to stop him from leaving they yelled police stop and Andy told the taxi driver to step on it.

Regina Barecca’s poem “Nighttime Fires” explains a complex view of the narrator’s father. This poem recalls a part of the unnamed narrator’s life that she is still trying to understand it in her adulthood. This poem illustrates the long lasting impression that was made on a little girl, whose father seeks satisfaction by watching the destruction that is caused by the nighttime fires. The poem creates imagery in the audience’s mind of a father’s character, as his grown daughter still remembers the events that took place when she was five years old. This poem is about a father, who is a victim of the economic downfall that leads him to be without a job; yet, his actions and behaviors are very unusual and unforgivable. The disappointment with the society that has made him unsuccessful in Regina Barreca’s “Nighttime Fire” tells us the thoughts that the speaker has towards her father.
