The Law enforcement system in the US is not always reliable and and trustworthy in every case. During 1993, in West Memphis there was news about three 8 year old boys being deemed missing from their families. Not too long later they were found dead in a stream. They were bruised, mutilated and tied up like hogs. These three boys were Christopher Byers, Michael Moore, and Steve Branch. Three young adults known as, Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin, were eventually convicted in…

Charles Rangel, United States Representative of New York once said “America was born as a nation of immigrants who have always contributed to its greatness.” When the United States were still just colonies, the people there were not Americans. They were persecuted Protestants, oppressed Irishmen, and tormented Germans to came to America to escape conflict. Over time, these people became Americans through their actions and growing unity. Crèvecoeur was a Frenchman who immigrated to America and…

of animal sacrifices, hexes, blood magic, sexual immorality, and satanic worship. With a history of persecution and hysteria, one may find that the reasoning behind Wiccan stereotypes is far more sinister than the religion itself. It would not do Wicca justice if one were to ignore the complexity and importance of its parent religion, Paganism. Paganism is a term used to describe a diverse group…

Harry Potter and Christianity Harry Potter is such a controversial subject for Christians. It seems no one can decide whether it is from the devil or just a fictional series. Can the children to young adult books be encouraging the use of witchcraft? Or do they provide enjoyment for people who like to read? Many websites can be found saying that J. K. Rowling confirmed she wrote it to convert children to witchcraft, it is not so. There are also websites that say that vaccines cause autism, and…

After reading the Devil’s Knot written by Mara Leveritt and watching the trial in class and analyzing all the evidence in the case I’m sure a lot will agree with me that in this case the evidence was very poor. The sentence was not justified or supported with enough evidence. In a case with this magnitude in which minors were involved people would think that the jury would take a close look at the evidence and lead the decision from there which in my opinion did not happen. Most people were…

Witchcraft is a prominent problem in The Crucible. The entire play centers on this one problematic event that has everyone in the town of Salem panic-stricken and accused of being a witch. While the play had instances of witchcraft defined, most of the play just has the characters accusing each other blindly because they themselves do not want to face justice alone. Witchcraft in actuality is a religion that is centered on nature. They cannot perform spells, but they perform rituals that summon…

But little did I know all of that was about to change. This is my story, the story of an average 14 year old girl. Basically it all started about five years ago in a strange town called Vail. I was about nine, I had been dabbling in an art called Wicca. I was such a foolish child, I didn’t know when to stop. I was talking to my mother Summer Rose (of course she is deceased now). Killed by a creature of Grimm (an animal that feeds off of pain and suffering it will kill at all costs). While she…

It’s hard to believe today that Walt Disney was once fired because he “lacked imagination and had no ideas,” or that the Beatles were cut from a record level because the company didn’t think that they had a future in show business. (Weismen) Still harder to believe is that J.K. Rowling’s world famous book ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ was rejected by no less than 12 publishers before it was finally published in 1997 at the insistence of Bloomsbury chairman, Nigel Newton’s daughter…

Have you ever wondered what it was like for the girls of the Salem witch trials? In the trials many young girls were accused of using magic, many of which were falsely accused. This paper will touch on the main points of the trials and will also talk about witchcraft itself. This paper will also include how witchcraft may affect us in the modern day. The history of witchcraft goes as far back as the early days of humankind.The first witch hunt was in 1022 A.D when they burned one witch. A…
