PARTEA a II-a (30 de puncte)
Read the text below. In one paragraph write your own ending of the story. (8- 10 lines)
Henry Blodgett looked at his wristwatch and saw that it was two oclock in the morning. In despair, he slammed shut the textbook hed been studying and let his head sink onto
his arms on the table in front of him. He knew hed never pass that examination tomorrow; the more he studied geometry the less he understood it. Mathematics in general had
always been difficult for him and now he was finding that geometry was impossible for him to learn.

And if he flunked it, he was through with college; hed flunked three other courses in his first two years and another failure this year would, under college rules, cause automatic
expulsion.

He wanted that college degree badly, too, since it was indispensable for the career hed chosen and worked toward. Only a miracle could save him now.
He sat up suddenly as an idea struck him. Why not try magic? The occult had always interested him. He had books on it and hed often read the simple instructions on how to
conjure up a demon and make it obey his will. Up to now, hed always figured that it was a bit risky and so had never actually tried it. But this was an emergency and might be
worth the slight risk. Only through black magic could he suddenly become an expert in a subject that had always been difficult for him.

From the shelf he quickly took out his best book on black magic, found the right page and refreshed his memory on the few simple things he had to do.[]
