After watching the Three Sovereigns for Sarah‚ there were many thoughts that went through my head. The main idea of the movie was the fact that there was something so called “witchcraft.” Many factors played into the accusing of people who were “witches‚” like‚ superstition‚ politics‚ gender‚ religion etc. As a basic summary of the movie‚ mostly there were some girls who thought they were possessed by witches. When some of the townsmen asked who possessed them‚ they stated some names‚ and just kept

By Sarah Peart When I heard someone yell out "Hey chick!"‚ I calmly turned around prepared to explain to this juvenile male that I don’t appreciate being referred to as a fluffy baby chicken. To my shock‚ I found that it was a feminist woman. The idea that women can "reclaim" words that have always been sexist is virtually received wisdom in student feminist circles. A quick flick through many magazines and a glance at some TV shows show that it is "geek girls"‚ "riot girls" and "cyber-chicks"

(Wong 246). Wong originally found her dull compared to Barbie (Wong 247). As the essay continues‚ Wong realizes that this black-haired doll she disliked actually looked like her‚ while the more "prettier"‚ blond Barbie looked like Wong’s best friend‚ Sarah. This is the point of comparing. (Wong 248). In the end‚ I think the message this essay was trying to give was that what you can be is more important than already looking pretty. Wong probably organized this essay the way she did because she wanted

The Sarah Bartmaan video today had some very shocking mistreatment of African Americans. I don’t understand how Europeans could justify their actions of treating another human being like that. Also to know that people still went to see her pickled remains for almost a century after her death showed that it was more than one person that contributed to this. People thought that African Americans were a different species and weren’t even human. We can also see this in our society today. I grew up outside

Sarah Elisabeth Wheaton is my favorite character because she is such a good role model. She always is nice to all even though she misses her home when she comes to
