Summary Of Three Sovereigns For Sarah

In the year 1692 many people were murdered during the Salem Witch Trials. The movie "Three Sovereigns for Sarah", is about Sarah Cloyce. She wanted to testify for her sisters who were killed by citizens of Salem because they thought they were witches. In the movie, Sarah Cloyce had to go through much pain and suffering.

While spring is a time for growth, newlife, and awakening, in the spring of 1692 a rotten presence (both figuratively and literally) swept over Salem Village, Massachusetts when a group of young girls claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several local women of witchcraft. Not only was this the spark of a religious uproar in the quaint, puritan town; but a spark that lit the match which eventually convicted over a hundred innocent people and claimed 20 lives. While the true pain of these trials cannot be seen in photographs or videos, it can be experienced through the words that have been written. In Marilynne Roach’s novel, “Six Women of Salem”, she tells the untold story of six women who underwent the grueling Salem witchcraft trials, and she evoked a strong sense of empathy for the victims through her use of first person narratives and factual evidence. Through these devices Roach successfully highlighted the twisted, prejudice, and uneducated society that America was, and, in some ways, still is today.

In the Renaissance era traditional gender roles was an unconscious concept that was part of the society’s life. Gender inequality was not something that was often brought up or even recognized. Women and men had specific roles in the society and were expected to act a certain way; men as tough and powerful being who were the bread winners and women as the helpless, sensitive beings who were caregivers. The men were seen to be the beings that had the jobs and paid for the family’s needs; to be the backbone of the family. Women then, and to extent today, were to be the ones to cater to the men and children and make sure that they were cared for.

To lower the health care cost that the taxpayers are paying is very simple. If immigrants had the opportunity to access health care this cost would lower. Also granting them a legal status would mean that they would be contributing to pay into the federal income tax base. Doing this means that the immigrants would be putting money towards the costs of their health care. The pie chart by Kaiser Family Foundation shows “Immigrants as a share of the U.S. population and by citizenship status”. As shown in the pie chart, all immigrants from the U.S. in 2011 only makes up about 13 percent of the United States total population. This shows that both undocumented and documented immigrants do not make up a significant amount of the population. Since they made up on 13 percent of the population, giving them access to medical programs should be a given.
