	Reading 4 
1. We find out that the Britains are Christians
2. Answer Key- The key seems to lie in what Octa says as he surrenders. Essentially he has renounced paganism and accepted the power for the Christian God, which seems to be why the bishop is so ready to argue for clemency.
3. Hengist is a very minor character. And the family was "of almost mythical antiquity." 
4. The language is used as a weapon and nothing was spoken clearly because when the conversation with the fairy was happening words would be used in other ways that humans wouldn't understand.  
5. Mark's fear is being "outside" and Jane's fear is being "pulled In"

1. That Merlin is a "genius"
2. They found Merlin at the fountain of Galabes. Answer Key- Lewis opens his book with "Mirlin's Well" as the very center of Bracton College.
3. Merlin moved the Giants Dance by means of  "engines" and "contrivances" its sounds like Merlin was a engineer rather than a sorcerer.
5. Straik tells Mark that "the real resurrection is even now taking place" The real life everlasting here in the world.
6. We learn that even though he is a sociologist he has a great reluctance of using words like "man" or "woman" he manages to have one half of his brain willing to destroy and the other to enjoy his day there. He's clever enough to play their game and native enough to be fooled by it himself.

1. Yes I did notice
2. Answer Key- The story is simular to Dvid and Bathsheba (I dont think i have heard of that Bible story so im not sure) 
3. Answer Key- He refures to to his "medicines" which keeps it slightly ambiguous as to how he precisely accomplished it. Theres no mention of speells or incantations just some medicines. But we are left to assume that magic was involved since theres no other rational explantion for it.
