In a castle in the Kingdom of Mooi there lived two girls who were the best of friends. Although, their lives were very different, the two girls always made time to enjoy each other’s company. The princess lived a very luxurious life. It was full of riches like glorious parties, fancy foods, and beautiful dresses. On the other hand, her dear friend, the poor servant girl’s life was not so luxurious. She and her mother were always cleaning the castle and taking orders from the royal family. The two girls sometimes wished they could simply switch lives.
“Your life is so simple,” says the princess, “All you do is clean!”
The servant answers back, “Well look at your life! You get to dress in these beautiful gowns, tend amazing parties and live in this glorious castle!”
The princess sighs, “It is not as great as it seems...trust me!”
“My life is not as simple and easy as you think it is either…”
“I wish it could be so simple to switch lives!” The princess exclaimed.
The two girls sat there in silence while dreaming about living different lives.

She started pouring all sorts of random things into her big kettle in the center of the cottage. Magic started happening. Fire shot out of the kettle, a sweet smelling scent filled the air. Then POOF! The witch had created a potion for the girls.
“Here! Drink up! As soon as you drink this, you will switch lives. Just as you wished for!”
The two girls looked at each other and counted to three before taking big gulps of the potion the witch had whipped up.

They both quickly realized this and ran to find each other. When the girls found each other, the servant screamed, “Uh, madam, I really think you should look in the

    Hysteria is shown by groups everywhere throughout the world. It is a critical element in making and particularly breaking connections and relationships. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, hysteria plays an important role of tearing apart the community of Salem by creating an environment where people act on their grudges, which is demonstrated by many of the characters throughout the play, such as Abigail, Proctor, and Danforth as they in the end ruin each other all the while. Hysteria undermines logic and allows people to believe that their neighbors are committing foolish and unbelievable crimes—communing with the devil, killing babies, and so on. In The Crucible, the townsfolk acknowledge and get to be dynamic in the insane atmosphere not…

    From my standpoint as a caregiver for children, I believe that the “possessed” girls were simply playing a game. Children have a tendency to repeat information that they hear from the adults in their lives, and that information somewhat colors the way that they play together. Consider the religious climate of Salem; Puritans followed a very strict religious code. Positive events were viewed as blessings from God, while misfortune was seen as punishment for their wrongdoings. Additionally, Puritans deeply feared the Devil, a figure they believed to be physically real, and witchcraft.…

    What started as curious young girls playing with the idea of mysticism quickly escalated into one of the most infamous trials in United States history. The puritan community of Salem has become married to notions of hysteria, mystery, and dark magic. However, through the investigation of Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaum in their book Salem Possessed: The Social Origins of Witchcraft, the roots of the trials are revealed to be community based. If the events of the witch-trials are seen as symptoms for socio-economic tensions between the Salem Town and Salem Village, a clearer picture begins to form of the events’ true motivation. By focusing on the divisions in the area within the set up of the town, factions within the village, and WHATEVER…

Analyzing Brothers Grimm’s Cinderella and Joseph Jacobs’ Catskin with the Propp’s Thirty-One Functions, the Cinderella and Catskin tales are versions of the same tale for they have similar story attributes and themes even though they do not share every function on the Propp’s list. In both tales, a female hero who has a father works as a kitchen maid and is constantly harassed and ridiculed by a maternal figure. In Cinderella, Cinderella is harassed by her stepmother who makes her pick “bowls of lentils out of the ashes only” only to tell her that she cannot go to the festival with them.…
