That the residents of Salem were scared that witches would somehow use their power against innocents. And that anyone that seemed sketchy was a witch/warlock out to get people for their pleasure
The reason versus instinct is the what comes through in the "The Most Dangerous Game" excerpt. The book, "The Most Dangerous Game" is also known as "The Hounds of Zaroff."
Dear Mrs./Ms./Mr. ...
My name is ... and the reason I'm reaching out to you is my belief that people should know about a certain person named ... She lives in a village in India and has recently become a hero for some and an outcast for others.
..., as many other girls in her country, was brought up in a traditional family whose values were taught her, but certainly not accepted without questioning and resistance. She has, even though with little support at first, decided to fight an ancient system she believes to be most unfair.
She has refused to get married in an attempt to protest against the dowry system. She belives it to be a tradition worth letting go of, one that keeps women where they do not belong: below, as someone who not only has the obligation of getting married, but the obligation of paying for it.
... has suffered a great deal and had it not been for some good friends and social media, she might not have had any of the acknowledgment she has now gained.
I believe, however, that more can be done for her through your newspaper. If her story were to be shared and known this way, it might open the doors for her to become an official speaker on behalf of all the women who live under the same circumstances.
I truly hope you'll take my request into consideration. For further information about her, you may contact me at...
Sincerely,
...
This is just my guess, but maybe it's because the dictators use their words to climb up and become one?
For example, Adolf Hitler was in the congress for a long time before he became a dictator. He talked and gave lots of speeches that the Germans (At the time) thought were good, so they slowly trusted him and unfortunately let him become dictator.
I wouldn't use this as an answer to a quiz or test, though.
