Hit The Rabbit Analysis

The towns’ people accused now are too well known and well respected to be witches. He begins lose faith in the court as the court proceeds to accuse more people. Most of the accusations made absurd. Reverend Hale himself cannot believe that such well respected towns’ people could be

Hale enthused with the new information, asked “How did she call him?... You cannot evade me Abigail, did your cousin drink any of the brew in that kettle?”. Hale’s observed that Abigail was now afraid and if he persisted, he would be able to reveal the truth from her.

Discuss the symbolism and motifs in the ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’. What do they represent and how do they contribute to the story?

As the women walk through the house, they begin to get a feel for what Mrs. Wright’s life is like. They notice things like the limited kitchen space, the broken stove, and the broken jars of fruit and begin to realize the day-to-day struggles that Mrs. Wright endured. The entire house has a solemn, depressing atmosphere. Mrs. Hale regretfully comments that, for this reason and the fact that Mr. Wright is a difficult man to be around, she never came to visit her old friend, Mrs. Wright.

Imagine audiences sitting in the movie theater trying to escape from the looming hardships of World War II. They sit and watch as the commercials begin to play when one of the most familiar tunes in animation begins. The commercial presents itself deceptively using the classic Looney Tunes curtain opening and theme music with the simple title of “Bugs Bunny.” The only hint at the true purpose of advertising at this point is the producer listing of the U.S. Treasury Dept. Defense Savings Staff. The curtains quickly open with an approaching Bugs Bunny miming the fife with his carrot as “The Girl I Left Behind” plays in the background. This is all set against a redrawing of the classic American painting “The Spirit of ‘76.” Bugs Bunny then begins to eat the carrot he’s been holding, when he suddenly begins the song “Any Bonds Today?”. Suddenly, the purpose of the commercial is finally revealed to the audience, with Bugs’ song telling people to buy war bonds. All throughout this he gestures, points and moves with an animated flair for the audience. He even exits and reenters frame with an Uncle Sam costume, eventually beginning to act like he’s passing out bonds to the audience. Until, with an animated twirl Bugs Bunny appears with blackface and a different singing voice, a parody of the blackface performance Al Jolson did in the movie “The Jazz Singer.” Finally, the picture pulls in close on Bugs’ face as he wipes away the paint and once the picture pulls back out the backdrop has changed. It shows a combat scene full of planes and ships as Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig appear to help close the advertisement with singing and dancing. As the song ends a simple war bonds ad pulls into frame. It now presents a Minuteman on the left and texts that reads “For Defense Buy United States Savings Bonds and Stamps.” The commercial relies heavily on its ethos and pathos to convince the audience into buying war bonds, using very little logos.

Abigail convinced the girls to keep their mouth close, about what had really happened in the forest. One of the girls, Mary Warren. Tired to get Abigail to tell what really happened. Abby we’ve got to tell witch cherys a hang in err, a hanging like they’ve done in Boston 2 years ago. We must tell Abby you’ll only be whipped for dancing; and other things [pg.919].

When everyone was in the court abigail decides to lie and make false claims in front of the judge. Abigail was pretending that Mary was a witch by saying and pretending that Mary sending out her spirit. Abigail was making this believable because she was acting and all the other girls were following. This acting was done in front of the judge so that he would believe that mary was a witch. She used this as evidence and everyone was believing her. “Why do you come yellow bird” Abigail said with fear this bird was not real but the other girls were pretending as well as abigail and they made it seem real so the judge would believe them. Mary gets falsely accused of witchcraft and she is then to be thought of as a witch by the others and later is killed for her actions. Abigail had her chance to confess that she was pretending but she

​​​This I feel is the start of the whole Salem witch trials. People start to murmur about how they've seen Rev. Parris' daughter, Betty and his niece, Abigail dancing which they think is some sort of witchcraft. ​To Rev. Parris' witchcraft isn't just horrible and a sin but it could ruin him, mainly because of his job ​as a reverend. The best way to do this, so he thinks is by denying it. This shows ​​Parris' femininity side because he tries to hide and deny it instead of standing up for himself some other way. So to speak, Abigail herself seems to be hiding information ​by the way she's defending herself and Tibuta. Since witchcraft is a religious sin in Salem, Abigail gets fired from her job at Elizabeth

Later on Hale asks Abigail if they were conjuring spirits, she then says that it was all Tituba's doing. Hale finds Tituba and asks her a serious of questions, and Tituba denies all of them. This puts Hale at a crossroad, Abigail later continues to blame Tituba and says that she was forced to drink blood. Tituba responds with saying that Abigail basically forced her into conjuring spirits in the wood. Again, Hale is at a crossroad, not knowing what side to take. In an attempt to save herself from the punishment for witchcraft, Abigail begins to name all of the girls that are supposedly witnesses, her actions officially spark the trials. Reverend Parris sends for the Marshal to help get this resolved.

When the girls discuss whether or not to tell the truth about them dancing in the woods, Mary Warren pleads with Abigail by saying “Abby, we’ve got to tell. Witchery’s a hangin’ error, a hangin’ like they done in Boston two year ago!” Knowing that the witch hysteria had consumed the town, Mary Warren wanted to reveal the girls’ true intentions in the woods rather than risk others believing they were consulting with the supernatural. She believed that by doing this Abigail would receive a punishment less severe than that of being accused of witchcraft. However, Mary’s attempt to convince Abigail to confess may have been due to selfish reasons.

When Mary Warren comes into the court and claims that everything that happened in the woods is a lie, the group plots together to prove she is wrong. If Mary exposes them, then every single one of them will likely be hanged or put in jail. Abigail accuses Mary of sending a cold breeze to torture her and the other girls. The girls act as one with Abigail as their speaker because of group mentality. The group follows Abigail’s example because they know it will help their cause.

So, after the news that Abigail and the other girls’ outlandish actions begins to spread like a wildfire, the hysteria in the community take over. Abigail only contributes to the hysteria by telling lie after lie just to cover up her wrongdoings. Abigail is dreading telling the truth, which has triggered hysteria to a dangerous level that otherwise, would not have been achieved.

When he had gone as far as the meeting-house, he looked back and saw that she was still looking after him – with a melancholy air. He chided himself, “What a wretch am I to leave her on such an errand!” Yet he, in his prioritizing, gave her a back seat to his wishes and continued on his way. When into the dense forest, he met the “grave” man who berated him lightly for his tardiness; Goodman defended himself by blaming it on his wife, “Faith kept me back awhile.” There was no pause to reflect on the uprightness of his actions; he quite naturally and unhesitatingly blamed Faith for something for which she was most

It was March 11, 1692; Abigail Smith woke up with the sun shining on her face. She went to take a shower. Abigail was greeted by her adopted parents Savannah and Giles Smith. Savannah is a stay at home wife. Giles is a popular Doctor. “Abigail, aren’t you looking wonderful this morning?” Savannah said. Abigail never really thought she was pretty; she was tall, had green eyes and was darker than her parents. Abigail lives in Salem, Massachusetts. It is a town where there is little to no commotion. “Sweetie can you go to the market and get some fresh apples?” Savannah said. “Yes mother,” Abigail responded.

My Place by Sally Morgan and Rabbit-Proof Fence by Phillip Noyce successfully portray the isolation, identity and discrimination of Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders. Although being set in different time periods, both texts explore the effects of the stolen generation on Indigenous Australians and how they fit within society. Sally Morgan characterises herself as an outcast within school symbolising the isolation of Indigenous Australians within society. In contrast with Morgan, Noyce conveys the isolation of Indigenous Australians in a more literal sense by his selection of camera shots. Both texts also cleverly encapsulate aboriginal Identity of the main characters through various methods. Morgan throughout her biography
