While there are some similarities like the starting of both passages where Mather describes the Malefactor as "accused of witchcraft as well as murder"(The Wonders, Mather, 329) and his overall belief that God and the Devil are at constant war over the soul of man.

“He was going to drown, and there was nothing he could do but watch and then try to hold his breath. Breathe.” This goes on inside Xander’s head while his baby brother disappeared and reappeared. It’s about the panic of a big brother with his little brother. The Puritans would not approve of the book Breath, because of the elements of witchcraft, women in power and sinful characters. The Puritans would oppose the book breath because of the element of witchcraft in the book from their point of…

I enjoyed reading this story as I have a weakness for romance novels and I feel this played as one. As the story begins a valley is described that is quiet, has animals, and people. This valley being called the Sleepy Hallows and the boys of this valley being called the sleepy hallow boys. The valley has witchcraft within it as previous events by an Indian chief.

Written by Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales utilizes satire to generalize common ideas associated with the norms of English life, society, and people in the 1300s, which is also relevant to present-day. Specifically, the tales of the Physician and the Yeoman, in which both characters share a common love for wealth, support this claim. To this day, people of various backgrounds will engage in extreme measures to fulfill their greedy wants, even if their attempts results in failure. The…

Every book that has made impact always has at least one character that outstands the rest.

Throughout the play John Proctor is the heart of the plot. Being involved in the plot so much leads to many…

The Internet is an excellent place to connect and encounter interesting personages, but it also has the potential to promote destructive behavior.

Michelle Theer was an intelligent young woman, who…

The character of John Proctor and his story tell the readers/viewers to prevent a tragedy like this from resurfacing in the future.

The flaws in his character show he is just a normal human being, yet…

In the book the “The Scarlet letter” written by Nathaniel Hawthorne Hester Prynne is the best citizen of the Boston society of the 1600s. One reason is that she kept the identity of the other person that committed adultery as well I feel like today in the present it would be out faster than light. Second reason was she helped out and donated to the poor with the money she made from her sowing products. The third reason is that she took care and loved Pearl she fought for her when they wanted to…
