It was late afternoon when Twyla reached her grandmother’s house. She was tired and hungry. Her grandmother was waiting for her at the door and welcomed her with a big hug. Twyla’s grandmother had food ready for Twyla

In light of pleading innocent, Bridget Bishop was held accountable for her witchcraft. Her innocence is proven in that these evidences presented against her were majority based on speculation. These speculations being that she was an owner of two taverns in which she knew how to entertain men, her husbands passed away by unknown causes linked to her sorcery, who dressed flamboyant, because it was odd to the puritans and her plea in court was not convincing enough.

Throughout the history of witchcraft it has been hard to establish if any of these accusations on ‘witches ' were actually true due to lack of records and proof, although it now seems certain that the vast majority of women incited were innocent. In the book "The Bewitching of Anne Gunter" we can see how these allegations can be completely fabricated for personal gain and revenge.

Once inside the store, Sylvia can no longer ignore the blinding imparity between the rich and the poor. Her discovery of an overly priced toy clown prompts her to consider what could be bought for its price: "Thirty-five dollars could buy new bunk beds for Junior and Gretchen’s boy. Thirty-five dollars and the whole household could go visit Granddaddy Nelson in the country. Thirty-five dollars would pay for the rent and the piano bill too" (605). Sylvia is forced to finally address the socioeconomic inequality that works against her while simultaneously conferring certain luxuries on the rich: "Who are these people that spend that much for performing clowns and $1000 for toy sailboats? What kinda work they do and how they live and how come we ain’t in on it?" (605).

A few of the famous accused witches were Bridget Bishop, Sarah Osborne, and John Proctor. These three alleged enchanters did not have much in common, apart from how they acted in the Village. All of them showed some sign of going against the grain of society, whether that be a female owning a bar, trying to take her dead husband’s property, or a male with Quaker ties. Evidence has helped to show the likelihood of the accusing party choosing those who broke societal norms to be witches.

Besides being accused of witchcraft earlier Bishop also had some other characteristics that helped mark her as a witch. Karlsen points out that many witches, including Bishop, where accused of witchcraft only a year or two after they had become widows.3 The loss of her husband leaves Bishop without a male protector for a bit of time and allows for more accusations to come up against her. Bishop’s husbands passing gives her power that Puritan women don’t usually have. Bridget was granted the write, “for the sale of the land aforesaid unto Mr. Daniel Eppes.”4 This action shows how Bridget Bishop was not in the usual role of women because she was in control of some property and was able to use some power over that land. Women in Puritan society where expected to be married and to help their husbands. Karlsen points out that Puritan women where expected to fit into certain rolls in which they should be submissive.5 If a woman did not fit into the roll of the Puritan woman then she had a better chance of being accused of witchcraft. Bridget Bishop did not fit the perfect vision of women that the Puritans

It was noted that by simply casting her eyes on them they would strike down into fits and would only be calmed by her touch. To add to the drama of the trial, a confessed witch, testifies that Bishop tormented her after her confession.

Maintaining high standards of evidence was important when quitting a witch because at the time large scale prosecutions of “witches” occurred. This is due to the fact that witches had been identified as enemies of God in a society that was heavily ruled by their faith. People thought that if they didn’t hunt down these supposed sorcerers they would feel the wrath of God. However, when adhering to normal laws, it is almost impossible to convict a woman of dabbling with magic. Fortunately, the appointed judge of a woman named Geillis Johnson recognized this and is perhaps the only reason as to why she was set free. Geillis Johnson had been accused of accidently murdering her son through witchcraft by his in-laws, but any evidence against her

Every year the trip date always land exactly on Halloween and today’s date just happened to be October 30th. Seth lay in bed that night thinking hard about the trip, he could feel butterflies flapping their wings around in his stomach, however he it wasn’t nervousness that occupied his body but rather excitement. He had waited all year long for this trip and in a couple of hours his wish would be granted. As the clock hands revolved and the sounds of clicking filled the air, Seth’s eyelids grew heavy, and he soon fell asleep, snug in his bed but tonight it wasn’t visions of sugar plums that danced in his head, only visions of his trip to Washington D.C.

Sarah slugged through the early morning work and realized-too soon- that she needed to make a trip to the house. She made her way, clasping her arms around her for warmth in the cold November morning. Painted Girl’s borrowed sweater did not help dissipate the cold air, and neither did the lingering whiskey in her system. A light shone in the window illuminating Grandfather and Dingle, who sat at the table together eating pie. She watched as Dingle grabbed a juicy strawberry from Grandfather’s pie and nibbled at it greedily. Grandfather must have finished his hunt early, Sarah realized. She had hoped to avoid Grandfather today but nature called. There was no choice, either the woods or the house. Sarah did an about turn and went for the

On a dark and creepy day on Halloween night some kids were going trick or treating but not all of them. Except the three Jameson kids who decided to stay home this year. The oldest boy’s name is Tommy, the middle child is a girl and her name is Sara lastly the youngest boy’s name is Tyrone. Before the permission from their mom, she has warned them about the missing kids who didn't decide to participate in Halloween last year who went off to do whatever they wanted and were missing so she is hopeful that they are not planning on going anywhere this halloween. An hour passed by and they realized that it was only 11:00 and Halloween wasn’t over yet. On the other hand, they were not even receiving candy so Tommy has come up with an idea that instead of staying in the house empty handed; he has something else in mind. Maybe we can sneak out the house and go to the haunted mansion by the gloomy corn field. Sarah did not agree, but it will be better than staying in the house. Tyrone agrees with anything but he just wants a piece of candy before the night is over.

To start with, it was a blistering sunshiny day in October. A couple of family members and I decided to go to the Pumpkin patch. The family members that attended were Kamari, James, Shackeithia, DeAnthony, Teara, and the parents of course. Driving to our destination was like a roadrunner, running from a coyote.
