Is this a good epilogue for my book? “ Hey guys hows progress on the council’s building?”, Rhysand asks.
“ Actually we finished it. All we have to do is get one of the crafters to make furniture and its done.”, Kai says.
“ Great! Wasn’t that the last building we had to build? I mean besides our own houses”.
“ Yeah.”, Erica says, “ Though we have to name this place. Its not a school anymore”.
“Mmhm. I guess that will be the first matter to discuss in the first meeting official meeting of the council. Though I think I have a name that everyone will like.”, I say.
“ And what would that be Justin?”, asks Kai.
“ Haven”.

As I walk through the street I see everyone working hard. Many of them were working on building shops and houses. A few had decided to keep training and had either volunteered to join the Guard or the Army. Others were starting gardens or using their powers to make a life.
Justin stood talking to Chey. From the looks of it they were arguing.
I keep walking and soon reach the courtyard. All around people worked. A few sat on the benches I had made eating their food or taking a break.
In the center of the yard was a statue. The statue of Collins. The one true death in the attack. I turn my eyes to the east and see the tip of a tower in the distance. I allow myself a small break in my mask.
I will find away to bring him back and I will destroy Stamey’s entire circle. He will suffer for the lives he has taken from the world.
“ Hey Rhys what are you doing”?
I quickly throw my mask back into place.
“ Nothing, Justin. Just thinking. What were you and Chey arguing about”.
“ Nothing that matters anymore. We broke up”.
“ Are you going to be okay”?
“ I’m the one who broke up with her. I know I’ll be fine. I just hope this doesn’t make matters in the council with her difficult.
“ Me too Justin. Me too”. I let out a sigh. Just another problem I’ll have to try and fix.

“ Report please Jack”.
“ Well sir they have finished construction on their buildings and now have a magical barrier preventing anything from digging under the wall. They have also finished their defenses on top of the wall. It will be difficult to get in again”.
“ What about that group of soldiers?” I ask.
“ Graham’s Army is camped a full days walk south of Rhysand’s city. He is currently on his way here to meet you”.
“ Good. Get the others to prepare a dinner”.
“ As you wish Nathan”.

subject: why anyone can be a genius.

occasion: moving forward in life.

audience: average person

purpose: to push you further in life

speaker: many famous geniuses.

here is the poem:

here is thy, and here is thee, genius is for what he can be.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great inventors such as thomas edison, who said, "genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration." no, no perspiration as what comes from your skeleton.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス

てちのちみスイヒイス.

you are a genius, well not yet, but you are capable, and that is a bet.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

fond of fighting is the answer

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
