Witch

Witch is a story full of shocking surprises, Witch is not your typical story that you thought it would be. In the beginning I thought Kylie was your typical crazy tomboy trying to figure herself out. Kylie seemed like a nobody that didn't have friends and her life was a complete drag. The first scene to surprise me completely was when Kylie first summons Riley to attack that guy when he had first thrown her onto the floor and was getting ready to beat her up. This scene really shocked me because I thought Kylie was crazy and would just talk to herself, but when the voice inside her said " let me out " I was really shocked. I was shocked because when this voice inside her head showed itself it looked like a monster that was being unleashed. Riley looked like a monster you only see in your nightmares so for Kylie to have Rylie such a scary looking monster as her familiar was really shocking because I expected a girl looking familiar. Another scene that surprised me was when Kylie and Riley were in the roof and all of a sudden Aaron comes with his familiar Lucy and for the first time Kylie finds out she is a witch. This surprised me because now I learned that their was a world full of witches and familiars.

Two reasons these scenes are similar is because both these scenes show that Riley doesn't really know herself fully. In the first scene she doesn't realize who she is speaking to inside her head she just thinks shes plain crazy. She doesn't think Riley is an imaginary friend or her conscious. Kylie just thinks she has problems and that's why she has no friends. In the other scene she doesn't even fully realize shes a witch until Riley tells her who she is and how they have to stick together and the Aaron confirms this. Both these scenes were able to show that Kylie doesn't know much about herself, but she is learning about who she is and whee she came form thanks to her familiar and Aaron. A reason both these scenes are different is because in one scene Kylie finds out who she sorta is and what her powers are capable of doing. In the other scene Kylie is just told by Aaron who she is and therefore in one scene she learns her powers and in the next she is told about he history of how her power came to be.
