The English tried making friends but viewed them as savages, the French adopted a policy of inclusion while slowly forcing religious views, and the Spanish mistreated the Indians due to the greed for silver and gold. The inhumane treatment of the Indians by the English spans back to the first colonies. Massachusetts Bay Colony was one of the first Chartered Colonies for the British in America.…

    I feel as if were in the Massachusetts Bay Colonies' best interests to provide public education, and for a number of reasons. The first is it would educate the younger generation equally to those that used it, and help to impact the future positively for the colony. Another Reason is it will bring together many people at a young age and require them to grow up with one another, making cooperation and friendliness more common than not. I believe it is good for the government to provide educcation, as it ensures everyone a fair chance to it versus another place or time where they might not.…

    My wife and I this past Saturday night, watched the SYFY Channels new original movie; Bigfoot. One one hand it was absolutely horrible, and on many levels. Yet on the other hand so cheesetastic, it would be one of those you didn't want to miss if a fan of 'B-Movies'. With these type of films, lack of money usually effects the whole production. It's what happens when as a filmmaker, you dream of having a budget in the millions, and instead you're asking actors to work for scale because you don't have the budget to pay them what might get in another production.…

    The Devil in the Shape of a Woman by Carol F. Karlsen is about the similarities, reasons, and differences of the victims of the Witchcraft trials in colonial New England. The characteristics of society in New England during the 1600s led to many accusations of witchcraft.

The people who were at the most risk were elderly women whose husbands had died, spoke out against the Church, or believed in another religion.…

    Due to the fact that women are perceived to be maternal and caring, the news of Hindley’s acts shocked society and her actions were said to be more horrific than the Devil’s because of this which is evident in the line “but I was the Devil’s wife which made me worse.” Hindley has acted outside of her gender role by killing children which could have been why the media’s backlash towards Hindley was greater.

Perhaps Duffy is trying to demonstrate the importance of a woman’s separation from men to find her own identity as it was only after she was separated from The Devil that The Devil’s Wife managed to be aware of her…
