Evelin Rasch had known about ghosts since she was eleven years old. She was with her friends Maria and Silje at the park, and she saw a mysterious-looking woman with white hair, pale skin, and very old-fashioned gray clothing. When she mentioned this female stranger, her friends looked at her like she was nuts. Later that day, when Maria and Silje weren't around, Evie had gone back to the park. Sure enough, the woman in white was still there.
"Who are you?" Evie asked.
The woman laughed. "I'm Ingeborg Welhaven." She reached out to shake hands with Evie, but the pale limb passed right through Evie's flesh. Now that the two of them were close, Evie got a good look at her. She was tall, willowy, and about thirty years old. She wore a simple light

Welhaven. Like Ingeborg. Sure, there could be more Welhavens out there, but it couldn't be a coincidence. Vogel was a Seer, or at least knew who Ingeborg was.
"Evie!" Evie's mother, Abigail Cohen, called from the living room.
"Yes?" Evie yelled back.
"Come see this!"
Evie suspected that, as Vogel had said, her parents had been notified about the Vienna trip. She turned off her computer before making her way towards the living room. She and her parents lived in an apartment above her mom's small but fairly popular bakery in Gamlebyen. The apartment itself had three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and Mr. Rasch's study. The Rasch family had considered moving to an actual house a few times, but the decision was never made. Evie liked the little apartment, even though she felt kind of guilty for storing her stuff in her older sister's unused room.
Mrs. Rasch, or as she liked to be called, Mrs. Cohen, was sitting at the kitchen counter with her laptop. Evie's whole family was of Middle Eastern descent, but she resembled her mother, who had moved from Israel when she was in her twenties, the most. Isra, Evie's older sister who was currently going to college in Scotland, looked more like her
Adsila started running after her but was caught by the strong arms of one of the adults. She started screaming and crying after her mother, but her mother never looked back. Falling down on her knees devastated that if this doesn’t end well she would possibly lose both of her parents. Minutes turned into hours and the sun was now high above her in the sky when she heard other strange voices she had never heard before. Then Adsila had then noticed that the town had gone completely quiet. No birds sung their song, no deer, squirrels or chipmunks rustling by the bushes, no one from the village was talking. In the distance she heard a noise that was never heard before, the voices were becoming louder. Adsila had dropped down under some bushes hoping that she wouldn’t be seen by the source of the strange noises. Slowly she crept down towards the voices, trying to get a better look. Strangely dressed men came around the corner of one of the cabins. They had different clothing on compared to them. They had long pants with weird jackets that had some shiny material on them.

She also learned from her neighbors that the lady who had died in the house before they moved in, was a very good housekeeper. She was described as always keeping her house clean.

name is Silky Bob, and sadly my best friend, Jimmy Wells, has just arrested me. I thought we were friends he and I, but I guess the law was more important. I looked at the note Jimmy gave me. Then I shed a cold, salty tear on my pale cheek. As I think to myself I ask, is this really happening to me? Did my best friend really arrest me? I turned my head to the driver and asked, “Which prison are we going to?”

After the apartments sad portrayal is displayed, the author intrigues the reader even further by explaining the family’s living arrangements. For example, the author states “It was their third apartment since the start of the war; they had

According to the author’s memory, she had lived on Loomis, Keeler and Paulina. “We don’t have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with the people, downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise, and there isn’t a landlord banging on the ceiling with a broom.” The authors
Her house was damp, dim, and dowdy, located in the middle of a field, unfinished. Upon entering school, Elaine’s childhood seems inadequate, for her peers inhabit these luxurious homes with seemingly endless possessions, initiating depression in Elaine’s life. Elaine soon deems herself unworthy of such a lavish life, for her father does not retain such a lofty position at is place of work-- why would she deserve such things?

“Your grandfather didn’t just die Faith, he was murdered. My father put rat poison in his wine that night that our families got together for a dance. I tried so hard to stop him but he locked me up in my room so I couldn’t.” Embry had a shaky voice and a loud cry now. My head swarmed with terrible thoughts that I couldn’t get out of my head. My whole family thought he died of a heart attack. What if my parents really knew the truth and weren’t telling me? Why is Embry going for me and not anybody else? I collapsed to the ground.

It had broken windows and missing shingles. It was every kid's nightmare. Whitler disappeared twenty years ago and everyone thought he was dead. They said Old Man Whitlers ghost haunted the cabin. I hoped it wasn’t true.
Imagine being sentenced to death by your government; the institution that is supposed to protect your rights, and then waiting years for the killing blow to land. Imagine the constant fear and anxiety you would endure; nobody deserves that torment. The death penalty is still legal in many parts of America and dozens of people are killed every year. In Canada, the death penalty has been abolished since 1976 and there is little support for reinstatement. This is not the case in America, while many states have stopped using capital punishment there are still thirty-one that continue to follow the practice. These states claim that it is cheaper than imprisoning someone for life, that it acts as a deterrent, and is a just punishment for atrocious
