“Never put your faith in a prince. When you require a miracle, trust in a witch.” –Catherynne M. Valente, The Orphan’s Tales: In the Night Garden. The cover page of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina looked very evil. It was filled with dark reds, yellows, and blacks which never mean that this is intended to be a happy book. The novel was completely different than the spinoff television show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch because the creators had it tie into the Salem witch trials.

The definition of evil is ‘The utter monstrosity of evil actions and the complete …show more content…
Sabrina is not evil because she never killed anyone. In 1692, the Salem Witch trials happened (Wright). This is when 19 people were killed because half the town was getting accused of being witches. At that point in time, witchcraft was forbidden and anyone that remotely did anything witch-like was tortured or even executed. It all started with a group of girls claiming that they were all possessed by the devil. After that happened, everything went crazy. The town had a special court come to hear all the cases about how the people being accused of being witches were in fact not doing any witchcraft. The special court did not believe them though and because of it 19 people died, and it was all because those girls saying that they were being possessed. This went on for several months until a governor got into the mess and cleared it all up. The reason I mentioned the Salem Witch Trials is because Sabrina never did anything as bad as that. Those girls that claimed that they were possessed and let 19 people die are the evil ones. Those girls let the whole town go into chaos and had innocent people hanged because they wanted to keep their joke going. Sabrina is not evil like those girls are. Like I mentioned in one of my essays, Sabrina is a lot like Adolf Eichmann. He was a follower his whole life which led him into some very dark events. Yes, he was involved in the holocaust …show more content…

    Commentary On The Book Night

    Night is an autobiography by Elie Wiesel, which chooses the Nazi Holocaust as the background. Eliezer is the narrator of Night and the stand-in for the memoir's author. Chapters 8 and 9 were the most depressing and remorseful for me, and it’s so worth to read. In chapter 9, “From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me.
