I think that Bab and Sith from “ The visitors” by Sahara Ellis are Ghosts because of the weird thing and the situations they’re involved in. You can notice some of the strange situation they’re involved in by what Ellen said that they appeared in a very strange environment. It was when the sun was setting down, and the way the light lightened them, and how it was like a perfect moment directly from a movie. (Ellis, 5)

This shows that they where special cause you don’t present a normal character in that way, because that environment could show that they are coming from heaven or from a mystique place from where the ghosts come. After the visitors said hi Ellen said,

“They sat down on the ground next to us. They didn’t seem to sit down so much as to float to ground level”(Ellis, 5).

If Ellen saw them “floating”, that’s a really weird thing because normal people do not float, but ghost do float, so now we have some weird things that had happened since this guys arrived, so they might have a secret, or they’re ghosts.

When Katie yelled the answer of the riddle and when she blew the candles off, Bab and Sith disappeared mysteriously in the dark. (Elis, 9)

Ghosts can disappear, but humans cant, and they did it really quickly, no one alive could leave that quickly and without making noise, so that why I think they’re ghosts.

The visitor Show a lot of weird behaviors, and a lot of strange things happened when they’re around, if they are ghost they might be trying to show a lesson to Ellen and Katie, so there good ghosts, or something like angels.

Chicken in Mole

This is a really traditional food in Mexico, and it is one of the most consumed in Mexico.

Ingredients

• 4 pounds chicken pieces, skin on
• Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish
• white rice

Mole Poblano

• Makes 9 cups.
• 9 mulato chiles*
• 7 pasilla chiles*
• 6 ancho chiles*
• 1 cup plus 9 tablespoons vegetable oil or lard plus additional as needed
• 4 or 5 tomatillos,** husked and cooked until soft
• 5 whole cloves
• 20 whole black peppercorns
• 1-inch piece of a Mexican cinnamon stick***
• 1 tablespoon seeds from the chiles, toasted
• 1/2 teaspoon anise seeds, toasted
• 1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted
• 8 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
• 4 garlic cloves, roasted
• 3 tablespoons raisins
• 20 whole almonds, blanched
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds****
• 2 corn tortillas, torn into pieces
• 3 stale French rolls, cut into 1-inch slices
• 6 to 7 cups reserved chicken broth as needed
• 1 1/2 ounces Mexican chocolate, chopped

Preparation

In a large stock pot, parboil the chicken in water seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Drain, reserving cooking broth, and refrigerate until ready to assemble the dish.

Prepare the Mole Poblano. Clean the chiles by removing stems, veins, and seeds; reserve 1 tablespoon of the seeds. Heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a heavy skillet until it shimmers. Fry the chiles until crisp, about 10 to 15 seconds, turning once; make sure they do not burn. Drain on paper towels. Put the chiles in a nonreactive bowl, cover with hot water, and set aside for 30 minutes. Drain the chiles, reserving the soaking water. Puree the chiles in a blender with enough of the soaking water to make a smooth paste. It may be necessary to scrape down the sides and blend several times to obtain a smooth paste. In a heavy Dutch oven heat an additional 1/2 cup oil over medium heat and add the chile puree (be careful — it will splatter). Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and set aside.

Puree the tomatillos in a blender. In a coffee or spice grinder, grind the cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon, and toasted seeds. Add the seed mixture and the garlic to the pureed tomatillos and blend until smooth. Set aside.

Heat 6 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy frying pan. Fry each of the following ingredients and then remove with a slotted spoon: the raisins until they puff up; the almonds to a golden brown; the pumpkin seeds until they pop. If necessary, add enough oil to make 4 tablespoons and fry the tortilla pieces and bread slices until golden brown, about 15 seconds per side; remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon. Add raisins, almonds, pumpkins seeds, tortillas, and bread to the tomatillo puree and blend, using 1 to 2 cups of the reserved chicken broth, as needed, to make a smooth sauce. This may have to be done in batches. In a heavy Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the chile puree, the tomatillo puree, and the Mexican chocolate (be careful — it will splatter). Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring often. Add the remaining 5 cups of chicken broth, cook over low heat for an additional 45 minutes, stirring often enough to prevent the mixture from scorching on the bottom. During the last 15 minutes of cooking time, add the parboiled chicken and heat through. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve with white rice.

The place was the North Pole; a very old guy named Jack and her wife were giving a dinner party for all of the people in the North Pole. . The party was taking place in Jacks house; the house was big enough to give a party in North Pole, because not many people live in the North Pole. About 32 people went to the party, and everybody was having fun, except for Jack who seemed worried, he was looking everywhere, and he was really nervous, nobody noticed that he was uncomfortable, but a old man that was sitting in his same table, his name was “Robert”, he stared at Jack without saying nothing, and he noticed something was wrong, because her wife was missing, since the beginning of the party they didn’t see her again; Jack and her wife had a little discussion because of the way things were arranged at the party, it was jut a little fight, nothing really important, so Jacks wife left the party really mad, she Made her way through the woods, and Jack followed her, Robert could notice what was going on but he didn’t do anything about it, and he continued enjoying the party.

The party was in his climax; among the guests were a group of friends who had a band, so they played at the party, they played all type of music, so the music never bored the guests, people here really happy about the music because the band played different music, so if you didn’t liked the type of music they were playing, the next song you’ll probably like it.

Jack came back to the party, but he returned without her wife; Jack took a seat in the table, but he was strange, he started to get nervous, you could noticed it by the way he moved his leg, and the way he was breathing, he was also starting to get very anxious, so he stood up and went outside; outside it was freezing, when Jack went outside he felt the freezing air in his face, and he couldn’t feel his hands, he made his way through the woods; Robert noticed that Jack left the party, so he followed him because he realized that something weird was happening; Jack continued walking rapidly through the woods and he stopped in a little wood house hidden in between some trees, you could barely see that there was something but trees there, Robert followed him really carefully, so Jack couldn’t  notice him. Robert could notice that jack was dragging something that was hidden in the trees to the house, he couldn’t distinguish what he was dragging, but he could notice that what he was carrying was leaving a red tray among the snow, Jack went in the house and went out, but now he wasn’t carrying anything, he returned to the party. Robert stood still hidden in between the trees, and he waited until Jack was far enough to go into the house and discover what he is hiding; Robert decided that Jack was far enough to go and take a look at the house, he started making his way to the house, when he stopped to observe with more detail the red track that jack had left on the snow, he leaned to see what was it, and he realized it was BLOOD! Robert was shocked, he didn’t know what to do, so he took a deep breath and decided to go into the house to see what was bleeding. He entered the house, he looks everywhere for the thing that jack was dragging, he couldn’t find anything, until he found a door that lead to a basement, he went down and he found it, he got closer to it and it was Jacks wife, he had killed her, Robert was shocked and returned immediately to the party to tell everyone of the horrible thing that Jack had done, but when he went into the party everybody was gone, and jack was waiting for Robert with an axe in his hands; Jack asked Robert “Where were you?” Robert immediately made up that he had to take some fresh air, but jack new that Robert already knew about what he had done, so he just told Robert to return to his house; Robert turned around, and started walking to his house, but in the middle of the way Jack stabbed he axe in his back, and that where the last moments of  Robert alive.
