The trials described by Franklin took place in New Jersey, they took place at the same time and were not fair.

Benjamin Franklin  wrote "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly," a short text that satirized the witch trials taking place in the country.

By reading this text, we can see that:

  • Franklin describes the trial of a man and a woman who were accused of witchcraft.
  • The accusers said they saw them making the pigs sing and the sheep dance.
  • The trials put the accused through absurd tests, which caused the death of the accused, or forced them to admit the practice of witchcraft.

Franklin's intention in addressing this topic was to show how the witch trials were not coherent, but rather a crazy illusion. Franklin had this thought because he was so influenced by the stimulation of reason shown in the Enlightenment, which made him critically observe everything.

Make a story with the words: 1. Annals 2. Epic 3. Extremity 4. Intact 5. Demoralize 6. Disperse 7. Replenish 8. Inconspicuous 9.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

It was an EPIC day, the birds were chirping, the HIDEOUS creatures were nowhere to be found, and the hero of the story had to MEANDER his way through the LANDLOCKED region and into the ANNALS of the forest.

His movement was FERVENT, as he kept the scroll INTACT, hoping to catch the BELLIGERENT adversary unawares and DEMORALIZE him. He knew he had to DISPERSE and ERADICATE the evil plaguing his community, so in the moment of need, his courageous spirit had to MANIFEST and he had to perform an EXTREMITY for peace to reign.

He was intentionally INCONSPICUOUS because he wasn't on the journey to NEGOTIATE, already there was an INFLAMMATION in his belly and he sat down, ate some fruits to REPLENISH his energy so he could cause maximum HAVOC.

After a few minutes of rest, he continued his journey and already he was showing his DEXTERITY as he got closer to his target and the sound of the leaves RECEDE.

Homer included a very funny, though dark, situation in Ulysses’s interaction with Polyphemus the Cyclops. In no less than sevent
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

of bounty, and Odysseus's men simply want to take some cheese and leave, but Odysseus refuses.

When Polyphemus, strong and gigantic, returns, the mood changes. After Odysseus asks for hospitality in the name of the gods, Polyphemus reveals himself to be a barbarian in his disrespect of the deities, saying he won't "blink at" Zeus and that he has gotten more by "force" than from worshipping the gods. He then fully shows that he is, in Odysseus's words, a "ruthless brute" by taking two of Odysseus's men and "rapping them on the ground" until their "brains gush . . . out." Polyphemus then rips the corpses from limb to limb and devours them. Odysseus describes his response to him at this juncture as "paralyzed" and "appalled."

Odysseus is horrified at the animalistic, savage, and ruthless behavior of his host. He wants to stab him to death, but he waits, knowing only Polyphemus has the strength to move the "slab" blocking the door.
