Some people have conjectured that there is an urodele that can live in high temperature environments such as those found inside active volcanoes, but most have dispelled the legends of firey salamanders as mere myth.

is the book called "bildungsroman Witness" or just "Witness"? ------------------ |
|
ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002 |
just called Witness, he was using it "bildungsroman" as an adjective. a bildungsroman story is a story about the maturing and the coming of age. basically, going from child to adult. ------------------ |
