There were plenty of people with brilliant ideas and concepts which helped spread the Enlightenment to great heights. These people were writers, feminists, aristocrats, and more.

In the play, “Antigone” involves a young girl named Antigone who, was trying to achieve something that was against all odds.

Witches (1983) written by the British writer Roald Dahl is a story about a young orphaned boy and his Norwegian grandmother who find themselves in a hotel full of witches; it turns out that the evil creatures hate children and plan to destroy them. Unsurprisingly, the book has been targeted by feminists who claimed that it is misogynistic, sexist and shows “how boys learn to become men who hate women.” 2.3 Witches on the silver screen Perhaps the most prevalent image of a witch is that of an evil old woman stirring a mixture in a large kettle.

To start with, Caroll defines the “final girl” as someone who witnessed the events of the slasher happen and is the chosen one to carry that burden with them throughout their lives. Halloween’s (1978) Laurie Strode ( who after her apparent demise in Halloween II (1981), came back in Halloween: H2O (1998), and shown to be an alcoholic after all these years because she carries the burden of her brother’s deeds with her) is a really good example of this, as is Nancy from Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). However, when examining the Sam Raimi 's Evil Dead franchise, one cannot but notice that Ash fits this mold as well, and in fact the entire Evil Dead franchise is built around this notion, almost literally.

As Kathleen McWhorter states in Successful College Writing, “each person learns and writes in a unique way” (32). It is easy to determine what learning styles you may have, and not every person is the same, the author J. K.

In Harry Potter and the Socerer’s Stone, Hermione Granger shows how she uses her independent learning styles in many ways.
