The Baker's Tale

In “The Baker”, Heather Cadsby’s use of figurative imagery helps to convey the memories of the Holocaust that still haunt the baker. The use of a metaphor compares the survivor’s tattoos to veins in order to convey the permanence of the baker’s memories of the Holocaust. The speaker remarks, as they gaze upon the baker’s arm, “It’s that blue code on your arm/ [, those] four numbers I can’t decipher./ They are fixed veins” (lines 5-7). The poet uses this metaphor to compare the permanent tattoos on the baker’s arm to veins because both are blue and both will be with the baker as long as he lives. The four blue numbers on the baker’s arm are actually his identity code

When Martin and Bertrand were betrothed they were given a seasoned drink, which was supposed to make the couple fertile, but instead inhibited them from having kids for a lengthy time. After the town found out about their infertility, the village was under the impression that they were under a spell in which they were mercilessly teased. This demonstrates the belief in magic that the small town must have had and only strengthened when an elderly woman “cured” them of their infertility by teaching them to use special prayers and eat

In The witches Stacy Schiff starts off by giving accurate background information of what happened in Salem. Fourteen women and five men died in 1692 because of the witch trials. Then Schiff starts to get in to detail. In the village minister’s house, the two little girls crawled under the furniture it was a great hassle to get them out, they would make made silly noises, spread their arms out like wings and pretended they could fly. Betty Parris nine years old who was the parson’s daughter, and cousin Abigail Williams who was eleven years old. These actions were absurd hence they have always been exemplary children. Soon enough comments began to spread through Salem: The children had been bewitched. Then Clergymen started coming then the

Firstly, a circle of girls makes a poor choice of lying about being haunted by witches, which later

That Little Betty Parris was sick, and that the Dr. Griggs (who was too proud to say that he could not diagnose Little Betty illness) claimed she was bewitched (Richardson 7), were enough reasons for court authorities to suspect witchcraft was the cause of the illness. In addition, several young girls in the village had participated in 弎lack magic?experiments ?harmless adolescent games ?in the company of Tituba, Reverend Parris slave. The restless young girls allegedly met in Parris shed, and created and listened to Tituba incredible tales of sorcery and black arts, which were doubtless an outlet for their repressed feelings. Soon, faulty cause-and-effect relationships sparked delirium.

Sometime in February 1692, likely after the afflictions began but before specific names were mentioned, a neighbor of Rev. Parris, Mary Sibly (or Sibley; aunt of Mary Walcott), instructed John Indian, one of the minister's slaves, to make a witch cake. She intended to use traditional English white magic to discover the identity of the witch who was afflicting the girls. The cake, made from rye meal and urine from the afflicted girls, was fed to a dog. According to English folk understanding of how witches accomplished affliction when the dog ate the cake, the witch herself would be hurt. Invisible particles

“Thus, it is striking to find that many victims of witchcraft accusations were poor beggar women who were said by their neighbors to have laid a curse not God 's, but the devil 's on a household in which something had gone wrong.”(Klaits, p. 87) Women who did not have a man to support them would go through the village and beg for food for themselves and their family. If they were denied, and something happened in the house, they begged at the neighbor would say that the beggar woman had placed a curse on the house. This could have been anything from the neighbor 's child becoming ill to even the cow not giving milk anymore. These accusations usually came after the beggar was refused charity and walked away mumbling something mean. They were usually then reported once something went wrong within the home they had looked for the charity at.

“They must be; they are weighted with authority” (Miller36) Reverend Hale makes a conclusion that Betty’s sickness is unnatural. Later he hears that other family’s children are in a similar state as Betty. Reverend Hale understands he is dealing with a sort of witchcraft. Many of the girls are in danger of this witchcraft he assumes and proceeds to come to different conclusions. ”I cannot tell. If she is truly in the Devil’s grip we may have to rip and tear to get her free” (Miller39) Then soon after when the girls awaken they proceed to make different accusations. Everyone accused by the girls is brought to court and charged with being a witch. Some confess to being a witch which contributes to the hysteria.

What’s the most common adversity of an immigrant? Struggling to cope with embedding oneself into being servant to two masters. The term “masters” used here are figurative objects where two distinct form of societal expectation collide with each other and one can’t completely ignore either side. Sarah, in Anzia Yezierska’s Bread Givers, as an immigrant, faces adversity to implement her personal pursuits in assimilating with the American Culture against her native culture where the father plays the authoritarian and dictatorial rule in the family. Being servant to two master brings one nowhere but Sarah fights on her stand and brings out the outcome to be otherwise.

The events which led to the Witch Trials actually occurred in what is now the town of Danvers, then a parish of Salem Town, known as Salem Village. Launching the hysteria was the bizarre, seemingly inexplicable behavior of two young girls; the daughter, Betty, and the niece, Abigail Williams, of the Salem Village minister, Reverend Samuel Parris. The trouble began when two young girls asked the slave, Tituba to help them know their fortunes. They used an old trick of suspending an egg-white in a glass of water to find this out. Over several months, the girls began to exhibit strange behavior, which soon spread to other girls in the town. The girls, under pressure from Reverend Parris, identified two local white women and the slave Tituba as the witches who were causing them pain. The

During the first scene; the film depicts as in the play is the forest, Betty is unconscious in both the film and movie, but the distinction between both is that the film included the girls casting spells to make the men love them, in the book it just said the girls were dancing while Tituba was making the spells. Reverend Parris then questions Abigail Williams in order to find what was going on at midnight, which in both the film and play are identical.

“Did you steal my toothbrush again?” he screamed, storming into my bedroom. I was sitting on my bed with his toothbrush in my mouth. I stopped. He glared at me.

After the baker takes all the rage thrown on him by Ann, he in return begs for forgiveness and gives the parents what they were lacking, that is food. The baker does all this even though he is alone and virtually makes contact with anybody.

The first witch had previously sworn to take revenge on a sailor. The second witch then promises to help the first witch by using the wind. This scene demonstrates how weather is used to augment the witches’ powers; thus increasing the fear we have for the witches.

Undertale doesn’t have to be a game of violence or peace or apathy or empathy. The game provides you with something amazing and no not “DETERMINATION” but close its choice. Which even in a game like life can sometimes be taken away from you easily without your say. That what I value the power I have to choose and be more than what I am already. Undertale, a fictional game, taught me a life lesson that I didn’t receive from any real person. Undertale also so blessed me in a short time the value of understanding others, to never stoop to hatred, and what should I care about in life and so many more that I can’t even name.
