    In the movie "The ghost of Mississippi" are multiple examples of why it illustrates our key concepts of unit 1. Firstly the movie went down in an era when there was extreme discrimination against any "coloured" poeple therefore creating a "black vs. whites" main plot which we studied in class. Throught out the movie you can also see that the actions of one man can change or make a dent in an important issue‚ similar to the individuals we studied in class. Aristotle said a long time ago‚ "Law is

    Many assumptions have been made by historians to explain the occurrence of the Salem witchcraft trials‚ and on why the afflicted girls behaved the way they did‚ but yet there still seems to remain a sense of doubt on this issue. It seems that this case is not just because of one factor such as Ergotism‚ but several more. The affliction started by mind suggestion. The early beliefs and superstitions in Puritanical society that were practiced on an everyday basis supported the idea that the behaviors

    Erin Sullivan Dating back to 1692 when the Salem Witch Trials were occurring‚ it was a time of despair‚ concern‚and many accusations.

    At the start of the book a naïve‚ young and innocent African American girl lived life almost oblivious to the socially constructed issue of race.

    Some people say that the Salem Witch Trials were less a religious persecution than economic in purpose‚ using religion as a guise to gain property. I believe that the Salem witch trials were less a religious persecution than economical. I believe this for several reasons; one being that the accused witches were using their witchcraft on other people in the town and it was affecting them. Many people were accused of performing witchcraft and were persecuted for doing so. But I believe that people

    The most controversial issue in this story is probably the Thomas Robinson trial. The entire town of Maycomb was involved in this trial‚ and each took sides. I am certain that Thomas was innocent because all of the evidence pointed back to the “victim” and her father. I am 100% certain that Thomas is innocent because the bruises on the victim‚ 19-year-old Mayella Ewell‚ could only have been caused by a left-handed person. Thomas‚ however‚ lost all mobility in his whole left arm after a cotton gin
