Call actually failed at failing and was sent to the Magisterium. The main story took place at the…

While I am not new to writing/roleplaying, I am new HERE, so please excuse any missteps, and feel…

From the movie, “Iron Jawed Angels”, there were many themes. One theme in particular was women used many different methods to earn the right to vote in the Women’s Suffrage Unit. One of the methods was the parade held in Washington DC. The Parade was when Wilson arrived so many people would be there to watch. Unfortunately, many of the men were drunk and they started attacking the women. The police did nothing about it and the women were injured. The parade was kind of a fail, but many people…

In the playwright The Crucible by Arthur…
