something that she isn’t and in Scout’s case she doesn’t like being a lady. “There was no doubt about it, I must soon enter this world, where on its surface fragrant ladies rocked slowly, fanned gently, and drank cool water. But I was more at home in my father's world” (313). Scout’s curious mind carries her through life asking questions that fathom even her role models.

challenging tasks. As I thought about moving to America, my mother hugged me to welcome this new idea and to lighten up. Not only was moving to The United States unheard of in Chiang Rai, Thailand, but also it was financially impossible to do so.

has adopted, I enjoyed a rare opportunity to collect my thoughts as well as do some traveling. I spent the first three months in Nepal, walking 600 miles through 200 villages in the Himalayas and climbing some 120,000 vertical feet. On the trip my sole Western companion was an anthropologist who shed light on the cultural patterns of the villages we passed through.

end… I was right. My eyes scan the alleyway, and I reach for a rusty sickle buried deep into an emaciated corpse. Multiple humanoid shadows appear on the blood stained brick wall. Walking backwards, I tumble over a corpse.. My eyesight is lost due to the fact that the blood from the corpse is oozing into my eyes. I hear the sound of metal blades dragging on the concrete, the smell of puke rushes into my nose, and the taste of dried blood doesn’t make it any better. Suddenly, my head is struck and

true mystery in 1974. I was sleeping in my bed with my wife Nicole right beside me until I woke up to the smell of something at 6:00. I check my hands, there's blood all over them.
