    Duke Roth Lancashire vaticinated strange things. In the premonition, he saw a black mass gowned in stars dissolving a man and turning him into something else. Something primitive and infantile, yet monstrous. Then he saw Elrich, an island, he owned and controlled, harboring creatures he'd never seen before; things so strange and ill-natured they evoked disgust within him. Abominations with the words—Magnus Teras—inscribed in their flesh. The next day, Roth acted. He told his king's soothsayer—Lichtenberg—master of the divine and supernatural injuries, scars, and markings called gnosis about his premonition.

Dewey creates an effective argument through the use of inductive reasoning, which provides his audience of teachers, administrators, and anyone in a position…
