Each character had these crucial moments in order to further develop and grow. I interpret having an epiphany as a sudden realization or understanding of an essence or larger meaning to something impactful. Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan was a twisting thriller full of epiphanies throughout every corner

    Spiders are the creepiest creatures in the animal kingdom in my opinion. They come in all sizes, colors, patterns and shapes. There are spiders the size of a basketball and there are spiders the size of a pinhead. Every single spider has fangs, also every single spider has venom in it. Most of the spiders that have venom in them can't kill you, because either their venom isn’t strong enough or they can't bite you. The most poisonous spider in the world is the Brazilian Wandering Spider. The bite
