Upton Sinclair Narrow Minded

... or allowing the other two men to escape and
eventually be deported before they could be
charged with any crime. This would have made the
police out to be incompetent. How would the press
react to what now was anarchism against our
justice system? If none of the perpetrators were
brought to justice then capitalism and the police
look bad. It would look as if the police and the
immigration officers were not on the same page.
That would send a message to other anarchists that
they could get awa...

Megan Crawford Pd. 9 Honors English May 16, 2000
The Salem Witch Trials From June through September
of 1692, nineteen men and women, all having been
convicted of witchcraft, were taken to Gallows
Hill for hanging. Another man of over eighty years
was pressed to death under heavy stones for
refusing to submit to a trial on witchcraft
charges. Hundreds of others faced accusations of
witchcraft. Dozens wasted away in jail for months
without trials. Then, almost as soon as it had
started, the craze ...

What species would travel over 2000 miles just to

Arthur Miller And His Distorted Historical Accuracies
1,937 words
In 1953, Arthur Miller wrote his famous play The
Crucible, in response to a fear of Communism that
had developed in the United States during that
decade. The Red Scare, as it was later called by
historians was led by Senator Joseph McCarthy,
whose paranoia of a communist takeover spread
through the nation like a wildfire. Men and women
alike fell victim to McCarthys pointed finger and
as a result of this hysteria, were mostly deported
from the country, their careers and lives ruined.
Some argue ...

The Causes Of Witch Hunting Hysteria
1,512 words
From the late fifteenth century until the
seventeenth century, Europe experienced a
hysterical religious movement, centered on the
persecution of individuals as witches. The
movement was born during a period of considerable
economic, religious, and social upheaval. The
Protestant Reformation challenged the old
structures of the Catholic Church; as a result,
many parts of Europe had broken away from papal
authority. Yet, the Catholic Church was far from
defeated, it still held the attention of av...

Finding Purpose In Arthur Miller The Crucible
676 words
The Crucible is a book that conveys a very ugly
part of American history. The author, Arthur
Miller, uses a play format to educate his audience
about a very confusing event that took place in
Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. In 1692 a tightly
wound New England community broke into a rash of
scandals and rumors having to do with witchcraft
and devil worship. Miller uses actual occurrences,
names, and dates in the story, which makes the
book a semi- reliable source of information about
the event. Mil...

Wicked Witch Witchcraft Trials
743 words
First, witchcraft has a very fascinating history,
which is fairly important to discuss. Because much
of its history is shrouded in superstition and has
not properly been recorded, its exact history is
hard to explain. It is easier to see witchcraft as
a mindset or belief than an organized institution.
According to Montague Summers, "witches can be
described as heretics and anarchists, " most of
which follow the chief of demons, also known as
the Devil. Obviously Mr. Summers, along with many

Halloween -- the annual holiday when sidewalks and

figures of fantasy and imagination today. But

Adolf Hitler Lower Class

Much like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin was one of
the most ruthless and diabolical people in the
history of the world. Hitler once said of Stalin,
He is a beast, but hes a beast on a grand scale
who must command our unconditional respect. In his
own way, he is a hell of a fellow! (Stalin Breaker
of Nations, p. xvi) What Hitler said of Stalin is
only his opinion, and it is not a valid one at
that. For you must consider the source, it takes a
beast like Adolf Hitler to know a beast and Stalin

1692 Salem Witch Trials and made a controversial
