What I found to be particularly interesting in the chapter They Hang Horses, Don’t They? was that animals were persecuted in a court of law. That animals were given the same sentences for committing murder as human beings, which was death if they were found to be guilty. In addition, animals received some of the same rights as their human counterparts as they were provided with defense attorneys during their trial. One of the arguments that lawyers presented in court was Genesis 9:7 a verse…

Writing and reading fanfiction isn't just something you do; it's a way of thinking critically about the media you consume, of being aware of all the implicit assumptions that a canonical work carries with it, and of considering the possibility that those assumptions might not be the only way things have to be. . . .

The Salem Witch Trials were a brutal time period and should be considered a crime against humanity.

That would be the infamous John Proctor. In the novel John shows several traits the portray the…

For years authors and historian have developed numerous theories to elucidate why the Salem witch trials occurred, yet I have found that the most reasonable explanation for this tragedy is it was a product of the political repression in Salem’s community. In 1692, the village of Salem was inhabited by the Puritans and was ruled by a strict theocracy whose “function was to keep the community together, and to prevent any kind of disunity that might open it to destruction” (Miller 7).
