I read a fantasy book called Ranger’s Apprentice: Halt’s Peril by John Flanagan. This book is about a group called the outsiders who go to little villages to bring their religion and God’s (Alesiass) protection with them.

When Araluen (like the England of that place) hears about it they send Halt, Will

Symbolism in Trifles by Susan Glaspell The play Trifles by Susan Glaspell is a great example of an early feminist drama because it shows two women Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters who both realize while in the home of Mrs. Wright that she was justified in her killing her husband in the middle of the night.
