True [87]3 years ago

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.

Story Cinderella
dlinn [17]
The story makes it very clear who is considered a “good” person and who is portrayed as otherwise. The good people are easily identifiable by observing their characteristics; Cinderella, the main character, is a perfect example. Despite her rough upbringing she was still kind hearted and did the best she could manage, and just wanted to have fun and be able to share the same experiences of other girls (by going to be ball, being free.) She was also incredibly patient and gentle. The prince is also a good character, still accepting Cinderella even after learning she wasn’t the rich, classy woman she had originally appeared to be and continuously searching for her throughout the story because he had fallen in love with her. I believe that Cinderella and the prince are two examples of good characters in this story, but the tale presents many examples of both good and bad characteristics.


Apologies if this paragraph seems a little lengthy, but here’s what my answer would be. Hope this helps!
