Words: 1286 / Pages: 5 .... history is, as one might imagine, a very
special person. He had been watching us for a long time and was ready to
share his knowledge of the human race and its inherent flaws. This “savior”

very special student was required to learn his lessons. “Teacher seeks
pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world. Apply in person”(4).
