For all the problems, the cities promoted a special bond between people and laid the foundation for the multiethnic, multicultural society that we cherish today. During the time of the Industrial Revolution many things affected the farmers, factory workers, and William Jennings Bryan.
What do Harry Potter, Star, and The Wizard of Oz, all have in common? They all follow the Hero’s Journey.

It's hard to claim innocence when “Wicked” is a part of your name. The Wicked Witch of the West is looked at as an evil character only because she is looked at from the worst angles possible.

In the book, The Witches: Salem 1692, the author Stacy Schiff attempts to condense a large volume of research into a cohesive narrative that tries to avoid to much speculation.

However, the author defends her arguments logically, and her inferences do seem to bridge the gaps effectively. One of the items that causes some confusion, to both the historically curious, and to the researcher is that the author has created a list of dramatis personae in which the historical figures are labeled as a cast of characters which might make the book seem fictional.
