ELIJAH OF BUXTON (Summary 2)
Elijah now comes to know that the Preacher is not trustworthy. Elijah remembers the days at school when the students were excused and escorted home which had been a sure sign that something was wrong. Outside, the guys of the town were equipped with weapons, they were prepared for slave catchers who would ask them ways to Buxton. The Preachers went to the south to find them, and nothing happened.
Since Elijah was curious he sneaked out at night and he saw a huge white stallion with a rider that had blood on its flank. After three days the Preacher showed up with a mystery pistol and fancy holster and he said that he found them in the woods, but the people were suspecting him and they began to make up stoires about what really happened. Elijah thought that the Preacher found the two men.
Elijah heared that Mr. Travis is teaching both Sabbath classes and publish school. Cooter thinks that Mr. Travis is working up over the lesson he has planned lately. Mr. Travis was not watched over lately so he is trying to get away with teaching this. Mr. Travis sees Cooter smiling and twists his ear. Cooter had not shown Mr. Travis the proper respect in town the day before and he wants the children to learn some respect for their them.
The preacher came to let Elijah know a carnival is coming to the his house area. Cooter mother has already told him that he can't go. The preacher tried to make Elijah feel guilty.
At carnival they accepted the booth of Madame Sabbar who was killed 541 lions in the jungles of Sweden with her slingshot. Theres are no lions in Sweden , because she had killed them all. Elijah has never known anyone who has ever even seen a lion and this makes him shake. She uses her skills aiming at a bullseye and putting out flames with marbles. Mawee, a little white boy who is supposedly a member of the savage Mobongo tribe emerges, and magically blinds Madame Sabbar. Elijah recognizes person as Jimmy.

Spectator Sports Theater
.jpg)
The place that we everyone could have an entertainment. The place is located at every single mall. Inside in has a chair in different sizes and a one big screen in front. Sometime we also feel like we are in a space. At the door will always have an officer to guide you to your own seat. Inside that place is cold and dark. In that place there's a couple of rules we should follow.First turn off the cell phone. Second keep quiet. Third do not run around. Fourth do not kick the chair in front of you. The screen was big and clear. The chair was comfortable and soft. We could be chilling there in the theater. There are also many kinds of different people that use to watch movie some are couple, friend, and some are single. There are also some of the type of movie that I knew (Animated, Action, Comedy, Urban, and Mystery.) After we finish our film we people usually went to the restroom to freshup ourself and find something to eat. You can do does thing in the theater. Have fun in the theater.
