The Puritans left Europe in hopes of finding a new
world to welcome them and their beliefs. What they
found was a vast new world, loaded with Indian
cultures new to them. This overwhelming cultural
interaction caused some Puritans to go mad and try
to purge themselves of a perceived evil. This came
to be known as the Salem witch trials. During

Europe. What happened when the Nazis came into

Billy Budd Herman Melville

Herman Melville created many characters in his
writing that had a mysterious nature to them.
Melville himself had a bit of mystery in his own
personal character and this quality is shown
through many characters such as Claggart and
Bartleby. Besides having a mysterious side to him,
this author was stubborn. Even though his work
wasn t always praised he remained determined and
pretty much always wrote what he wanted to write.
This stubbornness was shown through his characters

most, of the tobacco fields are abandoned now. The

Spilled The Soup Captain Vere Billy
565 words
Too much innocence is not always a good thing, but
a little helps from doing wrong. In the case of
Billy Budd, innocence was not an important factor,
therefor it did not save Billy's life. His
ignorance partly reflects his lack of experience.
Billy cant read or write so he knows little about
the world except what he has seen out at sea. He
is so trusting that he cant imagine the presence
of evil in anyone. This gullibility made him an
easy target for Claggart, who secretly was out to
destroy him...
