why the ending is not obvious while reading
through the rising action. It is not until one
re-reads the story where the intricate details
begin to lead to the surprising result of this odd
ritual. Jackson...

After seeing the video Gremlins: Faces in the
forest (1998) and participating in an interview
with Dr. Susan Ford, I have realized that there
are so many things that we can be taught about our
background history just by closely studying these
animals. However I was more intrigued by the fact
that more and more of these species are
