of an intern with the duties of a PA – organising lunches, filing, talking to people on the phone, that kind of thing.

As one once said, “Take everything with a grain of salt”. This statement proves useful when dealing with historical film adaptations, in particular, The Crucible (1996). Some dispute whether the historical interpretations of the film bare some truth or exploit historical inaccuracies for modern entertainment. Even though The Crucible (1996) contained accurate depictions when it came to general information about the subject of the film, minor details lack similar accuracy. Therefore, making this…

This iconic event in American history has had historians puzzled for centuries, because there is no clear evidence for why this witch hunt became more intense than any other American witch trial before it.
