In my book Midnight Star the protagonist known as Adelina Queen Of The Wolf and her Inquisitors goal is to take over many places in the world so they can become very powerful, but she is also searching for her sister. One quote in the novel that supports this is on page 119 that explains “Where is my sister?

She also found a new goal, which is to close the hole between the mortals world and the immortals world, but to do that she needs to help her sister become unsick so they can do it with Rafaelle and everyone who has a power to do it, and

Charles Waddell Chesnutt is an African American writer who writes many novels and short stories about African American superstitions and folklore of the south in “The Conjure Woman”. “The Conjure Woman” is a collection of folk tales that explore complex issues of racial and social identity in the post-Civil War.

Caroline Hwang, in writing The Good Daughter, explains the way it feels to be born into a distinct culture that does not correspond with the culture of her heritage. In her writing, she details the mental struggle she deals with in being Korean versus being American. Hwang uses a variety of rhetorical strategies such as metaphors, diction, and rhetorical appeals.

Many college students, whom have graduated or dropped out, relate to the emotional distress. She sums her feelings as “staring at the bottom on the abyss.”(16) Attending college is of great importance to not only the

John Charles Bucknill writes “It must be remembered that the drama brings Macbeth face to face with the supernatural, with that devil’s brood the weird Sisters, so unlike the inhabitants of earth, who, after a prophecy immediately fulfilled, “made themselves air into which they vanished.
