The Salem Witch Trials lasted for about seven months of 1692. During this time, people believed that there were “witches” in their town. They believed that the witches performed secret rituals and brought great harm to others. In early 1692, more than eighty trials for witchcraft had occurred in New England. Puritans of Salem believed that the devil plotted against them. A Puritan is a person who is strict in moral or religious matters, often excessively so. The citizens thought this because…

gambling: Samson’s wager in Judges 14:12 and the soldiers’ that were gambling over Jesus’ garments in Mark 15:24. In neither case is gambling presented in a good light. The Bible also mentions the casting of lots for the purpose of decision making (Joshua 18:10; Nehemiah 10:34). And Proverbs 16:33 emphasizes the sovereignty of God: “The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.” But the biblical purpose of casting lots was not to test one’s luck or to gain material…

The San Antonio College Guitar Studio Recital took place October 20, 2014. I first arrived at the McAllister Auditorium (1300 San Pedro Ave. S.A. TX 78212) at 7 PM. It was my first time in the colleges Auditorium, but not my first time experiencing a musical performance. I have attended several times the theatre to listen to the orchestra from my hometown. It is a marvelous experience. At the entrance I could appreciate an organ, which has had an important history in classical music, especially…

We built our rockets with little trouble. I didn’t finish, but because Joshua and Zack both did, we had no problems. We tested both rockets at varying angles and fuel levels to determine what angle and amount of water would allow the rockets to go the farthest. For some reason, we didn’t have all the data necessary to determine what the optimal fuel level and angle of launch would be for Zack’s rocket, but we did have enough to determine what it is for Joshua’s rocket. His rocket had an issue…

“I call it the cut-and-paste apartment,” Walter Youngblood, an artist and ice-cream man, said of the fourth-floor walk-up in East Harlem where he’s lived for 20 years. He bartered a painting for the stove and rescued the bashed-in mini-chandelier from the trash. It hangs in the kitchen, which has colonized half the living room. The refrigerator stands in a far corner, and steel wire shelves jut out, with dangling pots, pans and heavy-duty sieves at the ready. But the tool that Mr. Youngblood,…

”Joshua passes the ball to Anne, Anne dribbles down the court and passes it to Mike. He shoots……..HE SCORES. The Titans won the regional game!”, An announcer nearly screams through the microphone at a home basketball game. If only that could truly happen in real life. I believe all children should get a chance to be on sports teams, no matter their gender. Previous laws did not allow girls to play on boys sports teams. In the late 1800’s to early 1900’s, women organized clubs athletic in nature…

“It’s all wrong” I proclaimed, slamming my cup on the table. of our leads have been dead-ends”. Our client was clearly guilty. Anyone could see it. But we still had to defend him. In fact, he was so obviously guilty, that our only option was to find another mass murderer in New York and clear his name. My associate, Jack Thornton sat across from me, calm as ever. He was wearing a Steelers t-shirt, tennis shoes, and torn light blue denim jeans. He didn’t believe in dressing up for work.…

In The Glass Castle, the author named Jeannette Walls thinks of a plan to aright a bended Joshua tree that she sees in the Desert. The tree that Jeannette discovers grows sideways due to the harsh weather conditions and struggles to survive every day. Jeannette’s mother tells her to leave the tree how it is because it is “the Joshua tree’s struggle that gives it its beauty” (Walls 45). Similarly, the tree symbolizes Jeannette’s life. Both of these living creatures are negatively impacted by…
