But the execution was an external event, not necessarily an internal exorcism. All their lives my parents, along with a nation o

f Dominicans, had learned the habits of repression, censorship, terror. Those habits would not disappear with a few bullets and a national liberation proclamation. They would not disappear on a plane ride north that put hundreds of miles distance between the Island and our apartment in New York.
And so, long after we had left, my parents were still living in the dictatorship inside their own heads. Even on American soil, they were afraid of awful consequences if they spoke out or disagreed with authorities. The First Amendment right to free speech meant nothing to them. Silence about anything "political" was the rule in our house.

Why do you think tituba was the first one blamed for witchcraft
maria [59]

Tituba was the first one blamed for witchcraft because she was a slave, the lowest of the low, the bottom class, below even the poor and homeless. Not only did this make her an easy target of blame for the girls, but to make her situation worse, she had been known for having known voodoo from her home in Barbados. She had been the one to stir the pot, and to sing songs in her native tongue. It is for all these reasons that the blame of witchcraft was thrown at Tituba. I hope that this answer helped!

avanturin [10]

Answer:

an attitude about the story's events or characters

The increase in the interest of the readers lies entirely on the narrator's way of storytelling. It is the narrator's attitude towards his characters and the plot that helps the readers to establish a constant connection between them. The wittier or smarter the characters, the more they hold the readers. The narrator's personalities highlighted in his characters helps in building a constant interest among the readers. The uniqueness of the characters and the method of storytelling are the advanced characteristics of a good narrator.
