When Phoenix takes the nickel that has fallen from the hunter's pocket but later chastises herself for doing so, this tells us that she has a conscience.
She feels bad for taking something which is not hers, but rather belongs to someone else. Her conscience is guilty because of that action, and she keeps thinking whether it would be better if she never took that coin in the first place.
If someone is getting bullied I would advise them to speak with a parent, a teacher, or a guardian to help with the situation, don't be worried if the bully tells you not to or hurts you, ignore him/her, giving bullies attention feeds them and makes them want to do it more and more, so in sense, try to ignore them the best you can and if gets out of control tell someone that you trust and would help you.
Early Renaissance is the era I think
Drums because you can beat on anything almost and get a sound
