Life has changed so much since the times of witch trials that it is difficult to believe they are real. The writings of Mary Easty and Tituba are hard for me to take seriously because the stories and claims seem so outrageous to me. I found myself wondering how modern court trails, judges, and lawyers would handle these claims. I also wonder why some people volunteered as being guilty of witchcraft or even entertained the idea of being somehow involved in witchcraft. Tituba’s story really made me wonder why she said everything that she did.

After reading The Cariboo Cafe by Helena María Viramontes, I was confused because I thought I was reading three different short stories, but once one of the main character’s said the word “coke” I realized all three parts were connected, and what I was reading were the character’s point-of-view. This short story depicts the real life thoughts, feelings, and actions of a Hispanic family who are illegal. The first part describes their plans for a better future and the rules they made up in order to avoid being deported; one of them is to avoid the police at all time because they’re immigration in disguise. Part two shows why “illegal” people don’t trust others, and that is shown when the owner of the restaurant points to where the people are
Call of the wild is a dreadful book with no plot and rubbish characters. The author Julie Fison wrote this book for tween's but really it is at the age group for toddlers. Set in first person, the book is fiction. The "Choose your own ever after" is a series of 5 books written by 3 different authors, however they all have 2 choice option. This book was published in 2014 as a 10+ children's book.
Alice by Christina Henry is a retelling of a well beloved classic but with some very dark twists. The main draw to the book initially was the cover and then I read the book blurb on the back and I fell in love with the ideas put down. Alice has spent 10 years in a mental asylum after the events of the infamous tea party and her only comfort is her friend Hatcher, who she speaks to through a mouse hole. One night a fire breaks out and Hatcher rescues Alice and the two of them runaway from the asylum.
In Rosalie Ham's The Dressmaker, various ideas are presented through the use of contrasting characters. The kind-hearted relationship between Teddy McSwiney and Tilly Dunnage exemplifies the idea of true love. Inversely, the controlling nature of Evan and Marigold Pettyman’s marriage conveys false love. Another important idea in the novel is ostracism. Through Ham's characters, particularly Sargent Farrat and Tilly Dunnage, she portrays how ostracism can manifest in a multitude of ways.

Poet, Nancy Mercado, worries that one day people will forget that heartbreaking day.

In the novel Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel,it's genre “magical realism is a realistic style of imaginary scenes or realistic fiction. ”Esquivel demonstrate the idea of revolution and liberty with the war that takes place in 1910 during the Mexican revolution, a battle between the federales and rebels, as well as figuratively in Tita’s struggle within herself with Mama Elena. Throughout the book conflict arisen between family ties along with political affairs.

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you” (Anonymous). This quote is very similar to how Adeline tries to live her life, despite all that is against her. In the memoir, Adeline lives being an unwanted, unwelcomed child, in the hands of a cruel mother, and a father who does not even remember her name. Adeline still tries to keep her talents close to her, and writing and learning in school lets her drift away from her adversaries at home. The whole novel makes me feel very inspirational about Adeline because how she can triumph over her challenges, still lives her life, and succeed in the way she did.
This theory refers to consumer’s behavior, when the consumer compares their self-image with the advertisement and the celebrity endorser. The more famous and attractive models in an advertisement conveys a greater image to the consumers in the sense of values and personality. The use of celebrity in advertisement provides a framework of reference and also points of comparison by which an individual evaluates the attitude in making a decision (kamins, 1990). The reappearing image of the celebrity endorser in social media further pushes the feeling of knowledge of this latter, which is also known as the concept of “remote intimacy”(theory given by Horton & Wohl in 1956). This congruence with the self-image, by certain brands, is also defined by the fact that celebrities plays a vital and role concerning the opinions to which consumer seeks to be
My favorite play we read this semester is Trifles by Susan Glaspell. I enjoy how this play is loosely based on murder case covered by Glaspell when she was working as a journalist. I enjoyed this feminist drama because often murder mystery stories are always about men. Although the play’s title is Trifles there is a substantial amount of substance to it.
Due to these circumstances and the fact that celebrities become increasingly involved with potential customers of companies, the trend of celebrities being used for marketing purposes will increase in the
However, celebrities tend to change their image to be more opened to different career options; consequently, the endorsement effectiveness will suffer from such inconsistance. For that reason, choosing the right celebrity can be a challenge to any firms. Customers may be unconvinced with the celebrity (Wells and Prensky, 1996), or in the case of Nick Lachey, a famous singer whose profile seemed to fit perfectly with the endorsed brand unfortunately turned out to overshadow MasterCard promotion; customers may pay more attention to the celebrity rather than the product and the brand being endorsed (Erdogan, Baker and Tagg,
