She starts re-enacting the break-ins, which further enhances their passion. At the end of the story, Habara anxiously awaits her next break-in and the continuing account of her youthful affair.

As soon as human beings developed a tendency to acknowledge God orthe gods for the creation of the world and humanity itself, they developed asensation of being protected by The Almighty. The inception of espionage seemsto have an intimate link with this feeling of being protected. In order to protect,God has to 'watch' or 'see' his creation constantly. The notion of God (or gods, incase of polytheistic religions) being a permanent resident of heaven, that is, aplace located above the earth too bears a reflection of this idea about God beingthe watchman for the entire creation. Though myths or religious texts fromnumerous cultures and religions bear such ideas, keeping in mind, the presentdiscussion's focus on Anglo-American literature, it seems proper to trace echoesof the ideas in Christianity due to the dominance of Christianity on the Anglo-American culture.
Wild, frei, flüchtig - Street Art und Graffiti sind ein weltweites Phänomen. Von Brassaï, der Graffiti um 1960 in die Mainstream-Kunst führte, über den Sprayer von Zürich in den 1970er-Jahren bis zu den ersten Banksy-Werken im Vereinigten Königreich - Illegal erzählt die Frühgeschichte von Street Art und Graffiti. Warum gerade diese Künstler*innen schon vor Banksy wichtige Trends für Street Art und Graffiti setzten, erschließt sich aus den Werken von rund 100 Vandal*innen aus mehr als einem Dutzend Ländern.Kaum eine dieser Arbeiten existiert heute noch, und wenn sie dokumentiert sind, dann geschah das oft selbst illegal und unter widrigen Bedingungen. Abgebildet sind hier Schlüsselwerke und Raritäten, die noch nie gezeigt wurden. Alle wurden illegal, d.h. ohne Genehmigung, direkt für ein Publikum auf der Straße geschaffen - nicht für museale Kontexte.
