A soft blanket of snow fills the road like an artist preparing a fresh canvas waiting for imagination to flow from his paint brush. Laughter fills the path as a group of children walk home from school. One of the children’s names was Catherine. She was basking in all the wonderful wintry-wonderland scenery. Instantly her feelings of awe and amazement were replaced by fear, replaced by petrifying fear, they were replaced by really, really, really petrifying fear. In the woods, a dark figure loomed about and then vanished. Alarmed, she pointed to where the dark figure was before it vanished. Almost at once she asked herself was this real or just a figment of her imagination? You decide.
Catherine chooses to believe it’s a ghost, but whether she should give this ghost food and a family heirloom is a tough choice to make. Some believe that Catherine should not have given the ghost food, while others suggest the opposite. Catherine should not have helped the phantom for three reasons: she was fearful, the potential accusations of others about her if the word gets out, and the consequences.
The first

Some would say that this man was in need a harmless. This phantom was probably just a lonely, helpless, and a pie hungry slave. Being an outsider he would try his best to not steal if necessary. Finally, he could find work and earn a living for himself and earn some respect for his name. I believe that this man had the capability to harm people of the village. He could very well capture Catherine and her friends and her parents would never see her again. She could also become a slave to the ghost or be sold as a slave. Catherine shouldn’t have given the ghost food for three reasons: she was fearful, the potential accusations of others about her if the word gets out, and the consequences. Catherine’s integrity was on the line and she would be endangering herself and others by giving the phantom food and a
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a suffragist and a leader of the Women's Rights Movement. She organized the Seneca Falls Convention, which was considered as the first women's rights movement in the United States. She wrote The Declaration of Sentiments, which is often called one of the first steps towards women's rights.
The Crucible was created to described what really happened in these witch trials, and the effects it had on the Colony itself. There was more than 50 men and women accused of witchcraft but less than 20 were hung. The town embraced their trials as a template for their envy of hate.
I disagree with Ryder because in a way she is a villain. Abigail did so many things that put her family, friends, and others in danger. Abigail: Abigail lied to everyone so that she wouldn’t get in trouble but later on did. She also made her friends lie. “Now look you. All of you. We danced.” Abigail has done so many wrong things. She got Tituba in trouble, Elizabeth Proctor chained and thrown in jail, and John Proctor hanged. She told Hale that Tituba made her drank blood. “She made me do it! She made Betty do it! She makes me drank blood!” Elizabeth Proctor had to testify against her own husband.
IRTC spoke with assigned CPS, Leslie Johns, who reported that she made a visit to case address and she was able to observe one subject child who was free of visible injuries. CPS stated that the alleged subject was arrested due to concerns regarding another adult. CPS added that she tried meeting with the other children but the parents of three of the children are not retuning her call and another parent had to confer with her husband before make a decision regarding a visit. At this time, this case will to be enhanced to an IRT.
The World Anti-slavery convention, this is where many abolitionists met at Exeter Hall in London. This convention was formed because of the common goal to end slavery. (Hollitz, Contending Voices, 161) Many didn’t want slavery to end but the people who did come were people intent on stopping human bondage(slavery). Many women and men came to this convention but the females and men were not allowed to sit together and the women were not allowed to speak for themselves. This convention humiliated many women that came that day and made many determined for women equality. (Hollitz, Contending Voices, 161)
Do teachers have a right to free speech in the workplace and can comments on personal beliefs and views be grounds for dismissal? In a fictional situation, teacher Ann Griffin is dismissed from her position as a tenured teacher after a conversation she had involving the Principal and Vice Principal in which she made the comment that she “hated all black folks.” Ann Griffin was teaching at a predominantly African-American school and after this heated conversation, the Principal Fred Watts recommended Griffin’s dismissal based on doubting her ability to treat students fairly and questioning her judgment and competency as a teacher. Was the Principal justified in dismissing Ms. Griffin? Should Ms. Griffin’s speech be protected as a First Amendment right? What precedence can be found both supporting Ms. Griffin’s dismissal and also to support her continued employment?
Being forced to choose between what is morally right and what is legally right without the negative repercussions puts me in a tough situation. I am currently serving active duty army, with a part-time job in a retail store called Charlotte Russe. Now this store’s target audience are young females anywhere from teenagers to women trying to look trendy and chic. The employees are usually aged to fresh out of high school or early mid 20’s. At our store we have a wide variety to include well, me. A young solider raised in the west coast currently surrounded by people from Tennessee. Charlotte Russe is usually always a simple routine 4 or 5 hour shift. Clock-In, greet and assist customers, put away the go backs (unwanted clothes from the fitting
What would you do if your father told you he wished you were a boy? This is the scenario Elizabeth Cady found herself in as a young girl. From that point on, she devoted her life to women’s rights, proving to everyone that males and females were equal in all aspects. To achieve this goal, she drew upon much courage throughout her life. Though she may not have shown physical valor, she showed bravery in the way she stood up for the rights of herself and others during a conservative period in history. Courage means taking a stand for what you believe in; Courage means believing in yourself, and doing what is morally correct, despite the circumstances or challenges. Elizabeth Cady Stanton truly embodied these values throughout her life, especially
Catherine knew of the many dangers and what they would bring with them. She also knew that what she was doing was risky, given that she could be hurt or killed. Above all, she knew that later on she could reflect on her actions and know she did the right thing. Catherine should not deliver the quilt to the stranger for these reasons. The first reason Catherine should not deliver the quilt to the stranger is that if Catherine got hurt she could freeze because it was cold, she was risking her life because she could get lost, or trapped by the anonymous stranger.
Psychotherapist Kate Huntington and her P.I. husband end up at odds over a case when Skip’s undercover operative is shot and the alleged shooter is one of Kate’s clients, a man suffering from severe social anxiety.
Minnie is not telling the truth because her testimony does not align with the evidence shown in the crime scene. For instance, Minnie reported that Horace was in the shower and fell, but in the image Horace is shown with a toothbrush in hand. The toothpaste rested on the sink far from the bath. This shows that Horace successfully and safely made it to the sink and was brushing his teeth. Therefore no matter what, Horace did not die inside of the shower. That already conflicts with the story presented by Minnie. Additionally, There is only one towel that had been used and was clumsily put on the stand. The towel says “Hers” indicating that the towel belongs to Minnie and not to Horace. Generally, it would be unusual for people to go as far as
Alicia’s survival during the Holocaust depended on her ability to prevent her emotions and age from restraining her. For instance, when her mother was shot by the Schutzstaffel, Alicia “wished at that moment to be dead by her [mother’s] side. But somehow [Alicia’s] legs carried [her] away” (Appleman-Jurman 221). Alicia’s body acted independently of her mind, revealing that her spirits do not have the power to influence her physical body. Because eyes are frequently associated with one’s soul and spirits, not including eyes in the figure represents the lack of power the spirits have. Thus, the empty eye sockets represent Alicia’s refusal to allow her emotions to influence her decisions. Furthermore, when the head of Brecha, the group that smuggles
I was furious when the leaders of the civil rights movement believed Claudette was not a good example for the movement so they completely left her alone. I hated how they abandoned her in a sense when she had a child because it was deemed inappropriate and she was not allowed to tell her story. I can not comprehend people who have the same goal but refuse to accept the help of others because of their age of gender. Claudette would have been a great example of the unfair treatment of people of color because she is an educated teen that strongly believes in justice.Teenagers of all time periods do not have much of a voice in society when we are the ones who are leading the next generation.
Mildred had a shocking event in her life called suicide. One day she took a bottle of pills, and the next day when she was better her husband told her about that horrible event, but she said that she never try to commit suicide, she denied it more than one time again and again (Bradbury 17). It was obvious that she had a problem, most of the times depressed people are victims of suicide, and depression is a disease. Probably her superficial relationship with her husband affected her life at this point. Maybe her obsession with television represents the interaction that she did not have with her husband also she saw a family through one program (hoping and imagine that that family was part of her life), probably in her interior and with the
In recent discussions of Catherine’s mental hygiene, a controversial issue has been whether she can fend for herself as a productive member in society. On the one hand, the prosecution agrees Catherine cannot safely fend for herself. In the words of the prosecution, one of this view’s main proponents is Catherine admits “that she’s afraid she’ll be like her dad (Auburn, 82). The issue is important because Catherine states that her sister “wants me in New York she wants to look after me. Being taking care of, it doesn’t sound so bad I’m tired (Auburn, 81).
