Accused Of Witchcraft Rebecca Nurse
532 words
A "hideous screech and noise" poured from the open
windows of the meetinghouse. Inside, the young
accusers who said they had been bewitched by their
neighbors twisted their bodies and cried in pain.
Frail and weak, Rebecca Nurse, the most unlikely
to be in league with the devil, stood to be
questioned. From the moment on that cold January
day when the specter of a coffin appeared during a
childish game, Salem Village convulsed with fear,
finger pointing and suspicion, and the normal

Mother And Child Glass Doors

As Ms. Mallard uneasily sat in the waiting room,
she watched the hustle of people as they scurried
in and out of the clinic doors. The ring of the
bell above the door sang like wind chimes on a
blustery day. She stared at a mother and child
across the magazine table as they flipped through
an old and badly torn edition of Highlights. From
the short distance she could tell that the child
was around three or four years old and the mother
was expecting in a few months. Mom was in good
health and it...

... ing, and he actively ignores many warnings
that he shouldnt continue to pursue the murderer.
Tieresias warns him, Jocasta warns him, and the
old shepherd warns him, but he brashly ignores
them all. It is not that he is a bad man; his
motive is both self-less and selfish. He wants to
save his city, but he also wants glory and
vindication. He believes that he, one man, can be
everything. Sophocles is pointing out that this
isnt true. No king, no matter how hard he tries,
can be a perfect ruler...
