The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Long Ago in the 1500's there used to be a mobilization of witches. They were formed together to protect the people of Restaria. Furthermore it was over 20 witches within the radicalized group, all of them ran from Restaria. All except Seven they stayed as a united front to protect their town from the demons who rose through the night in the air. Nevertheless after the bloody war the witches bodies were never found. Also their nemesis were left on the ground to see. The whole town saw what happened but no one could believe it. Years, Centuries later as time grew and decades past. The witches tale became a folklore they started becoming bed time stories, pictographs, ideas for movie directors. Along the older generations it brought back nostalgia

The song “March to the Witch’s Castle” is about the return of soldiers from Vietnam. This war was not unique in the resulting casualties; the resulting total death count was over 2 million, with about 282 thousand of these being allied deaths. In addition, the Vietnam war returned many veterans who were traumatized, injured and ill. 150 thousand came home with severe injuries or amputations, and 21 thousand were injured to the point that they were unable to work for the rest of their lives. In another study done by the Veteran’s Association, roughly 30% of the surveyed participants had some form of PTSD. Finally, a largely disproportionate amount of these deaths and veterans were African American, due to the reduced draft requirements. These people were largely from poorer areas, and could not seek help when returning from the war.

For decades now Witches have been persecuted throughout their existence. In the sixteenth and seventh century, witches had become more known. During the 1500 and 1600 the execution rates of witches in Europe was estimated between 50,000 and 80,000 speculated witches were killed. At the peak of the witch hunt in the late 16th century and early 17th century. However, in 1692 is when hysteria swept the nation. In Salem, Massachusetts nemours young ladies began showing unusual behaviors. Some symptoms consisted of convulsions, crying and yelling. Many civilians thought that theses ladies had been bewitched. For instance, in 1604 Joan Guppy made one objection to her discomfort to her Star Chamber of the town. Margaret Abington the Chamber and her husband Andrew accused her of being a witch.

There are a few reasons why I recommend reading the classic, “The Call Of The Wild” by Jack London. There are very exhilarating action scenes throughout the book. The suspense is well placed and makes you wanting more and more. The story is told through the eyes of a dog, which gives an intriguing perspective to the storyline. These reasons and a few others give this book a lively feel.

She was a woman grown, seven-and-ten, and wreathed in a cloth-of-silver gown she appeared truly the Lady of the Mists. In her presence Hunt felt ashamed of his status; he was but five-and-ten, though as he was so fond of reminding her, he would be a true man in less than a month. He had made squire two years past, nigh unheard of, chosen by the castle’s castellan, the old veteran Seer Lars Reddan. He had the makings of a chevalier, the great magi of the Lyceum told him, and already he could feel the mana tingling hungrily in his fingertips. Even so, he was a poor boy, the third-born son of a lowly castle knight; his love was a princess, daughter of Torriq the Hammer and promised to another. No, I must not dwell on such things. She is the emperor’s heir; surely she can choose her own

The modern film The Witch by Robert Eggers is set in the 1630’s in New England and follows a Puritan family in their struggles against witches and witchcraft after being banished from the Commonwealth. The story depicts the fears of witches and witchcraft from a Puritan perspective while drawing on portrayals from the Pagan and Christian tradition of the witch to reinforce this image. The Witch uses Pagan, Christian and Puritan concepts of witches and witchcraft to establish an superstitious atmosphere filled with fear, uncertainty and paranoia; this effect aims to represent a similar psychological state of mind the Puritans had towards witches during the Salem witch crisis. Firstly, the elements The Witch uses to develop this atmosphere are images of common witch familiars and animals that have been attributed to them throughout history. Secondly, witchcraft that have been believed to be performed by witches as well as their association with the devil establishes a sense of superstition. Finally, the personality and physical traits of the witch’s character is used to enhance the fearful atmosphere throughout the film. Appearances of animals and familiars associated with witches occur throughout the film and gives a foreboding sense of what is to come.

Witch-hunt, once a term used in the search of alleged magical beings, now used to describe the persecution of a group. Witch-hunts have appeared throughout history, and will continue to do so, all with the same theme; power is the ability to influence. This theme is present in The Crucible and Good Night and Good Luck, and in our own modern times. In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, the town of Salem goes wild over the fear of witches.

“Your wish has been granted.” She vanished. The next morning, I woke in a grand manor, with money aplenty. I splurged in my new abundance, and had already forgotten the favor that was to be asked of me. On the third year, at the cusp of dawn, the little girl appeared to me again. “Fulfill your favor.” She murmured. "Kill the one whose heart is the most selfish, or you will have nothing, once again." Instantly, I knew she was referring to Elizabeth, the one who cost me my old job all for less competition. Who else could have a more selfish heart than her pitiful being? The witch further continues her explanation. "Next, follow the north star, and find what land it radiates its light. Bury the heart." "That's all?" "Yes.” The little girl glares, looking at me like I’m a test subject she would like to inspect. “I will sacrifice a life. It’s in my best interest, is it not?” I asked agreeing to her deal. “Perhaps. I will see you soon.” Just as suddenly as she came, she vanished, and I was off. I quickly put on a pair of leather boots, snatched a dagger from the games room, and emptied a bag of potatoes for a bag. I ran out of my manor, and made my way downtown, using memory to scout out the manor I’d worked in so many years ago. Once I found it, I snuck to the back of the manor and found the door that was always unlocked, for the servants to have quick access to the outhouse. When inside, I crept towards the servants’ quarters and

Today is the fourth day me and Little Ann have been sitting here waiting to hunt. Billy is just walking around the camp looking at other dogs and talking to the hunters. He starts making his way back to Little Ann and I. In the buggy Billy digs us each out a weenie and feeds it to us. I swallow mine whole and look at him and ask for more. I don't really think he understood me because he just walked away smiling.

You know life can be different for many people. And there are many different classes in this and other societies. Most people think that there are only two types of people “the hunters” and “the hunted”, but that is their thoughts on this matter. In the story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, there are three ideas that show throughout this book, who the hunters are, who ended up being the hunted, and the thoughts on whether or not there are two types of people the huntees and the hunters. To begin with, the hunters in this story are Zaroff, Rainsford, and Ivan.

The human king sent his child of to the army, leaving him in the charge of the general of the king’s army. Both of the caretakers of the children were not kind to the babies. The witch had completed the first phase of her plan, what was left was the waiting game, she was sure the children would never return to their

Throughout the semester we have covered a lot of material, but what has resonated with me the most, was the documentary titled The Hunting Ground. This documentary discusses the issue of sexual assault on college campuses across the United States, and how school administrations have failed to deal with the problem adequately time and time again. We learned previously, in class, that most victims are between the ages of 16-24, therefor it makes sense that many of these assaults would take place on school campuses. However, it was very overwhelming to hear the stories of women who have been victimized and how they have been discouraged by their own institutions to report their cases.

A War of Witches is an astounding version of a world of sorcery and magic and that depicts the deepest

When we analyze the reputation, the culture, and the consequences of being a witch in the Middle Ages, we can conclude that life for a witch would be easier in today’s society than it would be in the Middle Ages.

Enter Three Witches is a gripping retelling of Shakespeare’s classic Macbeth. Written by Caroline Cooney, the novel follows Lady Mary as she experiences the tyranny of Lady Macbeth, and the struggles of trying to save the lives of anyone she can. Many comparisons can be drawn to the original, however many differences are prevalent. Although suspenseful and action packed, Enter Three Witches struggles with keeping characters straight and starts off very slow.
