Hale Woodruff

Nathan Hale was born in Coventry, Connecticut, in 1755 to Richard Hale and Elizabeth Strong, his parents. In 1768, when he was fourteen years old, he was sent to Yale College with his brother, Enoch. Nathan was a classmate of a patriot spy. His name was Benjamin Tallmadge. Nathan graduated with first-class honors at the age of 18 and became a teacher. He was the first in East Haddam and later in New London. After the Revolutionary War began, he joined a Connecticut militia and was elected first lieutenant

Reverend John Hale, an educated man of the Lord, arrives in Salem and unwittingly starts the Salem Witch Trials and reveals the theme that lies blind even the most well intended from the truth. Reverend Hale represents a good uncorrupt holy man, unlike Parris, and we have chosen a New Testament bible due to his piety, but also due to the Congregationalist Protestant faith which settled in New England. Hale presents himself as an educated man of the world and at the time only priests became educated

The Culper Ring was a spy ring created by American Major Benjamin Tallmadge under command from General George Washington in 1778 during British occupation of New York City at the peak of the American Revolutionary War. The "Culper" name was given by Washington who created it from Culpeper County, Virginia. The two main people in the Ring, Abraham Woodhull and Robert Townsend, used "Samuel Culper, Sr." and "Samuel Culper, Jr.", as code names. Tallmadge was in direct control of the Ring but Washington

A Gradual Decline in Prejudice between Places and People in North and South Through her characterizations of the two main characters in Margaret Hale and John Thornton, Elizabeth Gaskell develops a transition from prejudice to love. She reveals their inner most thoughts through an omniscient third person narrative to allow the audience to empathise with their feelings. The Characters develop through dialogue because they dispute over the North and South divide and try to distance themselves

Shannon Hale is a compelling feminist writer who inspires young women, creates twisting plots, and uses incredible language. I read two books by Hale: Dangerous and The Goose Girl. Dangerous is a sci-fi futuristic fiction, hopping all over the U.S and a island off the coast of Ecuador. The Goose Girl is a fascinating retelling of a Grimm's fairy tale. Both have a incredibly strong willed female, main characters who, at the beginning of the book have insecurities but grow out out of them. They both

: Reverend Hale’s changing through the story is even more evident in act two, and Reverend Hale can only be described as indecisive throughout act two. The reverend begins to doubt his former certainty of the witchcraft surrounding Salem and struggles with deciding. The reader first sees Hale’s doubt of his own skills when he is in John Proctors house talking to Elizabeth and John Proctor about Elizabeth being under scrutiny of the court, when he says “I am a stranger here, as you know. And in my

“Could that be an air raid warning?” He whispers, recalling that in World War 2 they would sound sirens to warn of the German planes in the skies, “This is fantastic,” Freddie, says ducking behind a barrel to avoid detection as a spotlight slowly passes by the alley entrance. Peeking from his hiding place, he notices the many shattered windows, missing bricks, and crumbling walls. With a long glance at the debris, the sound of gunshots startled him. “What the hell am I going to do now?” the reality

Espionage, the use of spying to obtain secret information regarding the intentions and capabilities of other persons, groups, organizations, or states is largely seen as a modern twentieth-century phenomenon (Burds, 2012). In reality, it is one of the oldest political and military acts, appearing in historical and literary accounts since the beginning of recorded history. A vital tool of statecraft, espionage shapes foreign policy and changes how wars proceed. Unbeknownst to many Americans, subterfuge

The millhands, enraged at Thornton’s hiring of Irish workers while they are on strike, descend in a mob upon Thornton’s mill and home. This chapter is also pivotal in the relationship between Thornton and the novel’s principal character Margaret Hale. In the novel, Gaskell parallels the conflict between Thornton and his workers with the conflict between Thornton and Margaret. Both relationships erupt in this chapter leading to consequences throughout the rest of the novel. Gaskell establishes

Morally ambiguous characters are seen all throughout different works of literature. In “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, Reverend Hale can be considered a morally ambiguous character because of the actions he takes throughout the play. Reverend Hale can be considered morally ambiguous because he helps capture the accused “witches” but he consoles them as he is doing it and is reassuring them that everything will be okay. This can be taken as morally ambiguous because he is considered evil for going
