I believe that JonBenet Ramsey was killed by her brother and that the parents covered up the murder. I also believe that the evidence points towards this conclusion. My version of events starts with the father putting JonBenet to bed on Christmas night. I believe that JonBenet got out of bed and went downstairs where she stole a piece of Burke’s pineapple. He got angry and hit her on the head with the flashlight. He then took a track from his train set and hit her in the side to see if she…

Act I takes place in the different barn, on Shrove Tuesday, 1601, the night before the execution of the Earl of Essex. Ned, in his thirties, enters, swearing while trying to take off his costume. He is infuriated because Jack as Benedick forgot his line which was a cue for Ned as Beatrice to turn on the stage during the performance before Queen Elizabeth I. The possibility of Ned walking off the stage and the potential humiliation from it makes Ned more and more furious. Slowly other members of…

From the moment she first caught the imagination of her people in war-torn France, Joan of Arc has been the subject of many controversies. Was she a visionary or a witch? Did she seek personal fame, or was her concern only for the king and country? Did she really hear voices, or did she just make it all up for attention and fulfillment of her selfish motives? And if she did hear voices, was she delusional? Or could it be that she was truly touched by God? At our great distance of half a…

In the beginning of this section, Hester Prynne hears rumors that Pearl will be taken away from her as she is seen as an unfit mother due to her sins. She goes to Governor Bellingham's house to deliver some gloves and to ask him about these rumors. While in the house, Pearl points out her and Hester's reflections in some of the armor, and Hester is horrified since the majority of her image is taken by the Scarlet Letter. He later, along with Chillingworth, Dimmesdale, and Wilson, claims that he…

Thousands of people revile Offit publicly at rallies, on Web sites, and in books. Type pauloffit.com into your browser and you’ll find not Offit’s official site but an anti-Offit screed “dedicated to exposing the truth about the vaccine industry’s most well-paid spokesperson.” Go to Wikipedia to read his bio and, as often as not, someone will have tampered with the page. The section on Offit’s education was once altered to say that he’d studied on a pig farm in Toad Suck, Arkansas. (He’s a…

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. I do see many differences between these passages, Mather seems to be less opinionated and more informational but in comparison witchcraft is described more in The Wonders of the invisible World than Pillars of Salt, Mather explains…

“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. The witchcraft in valley influences the people as the text states “the place still continues under the sway of some witching power,…

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. Either because that character has gratifying and talented deeds or because that character has fury and dislikes many things. The Crucible involves many characters which makes the story more interesting and hooks the reader in, but there is one character that makes many changes through the novel. Throughout the play John Proctor is the heart of the plot. Being involved in the plot so much leads to many…
