Narrative Essay On The Witch's Tale

Improved Essays
The Witch's Tale Now, now, before you all point out the obvious, let me explain my hideous appearance first. It’s not my fault that I look like a witch. The green skin came from a horrible spray tan I recieved hours before those two blonde annoying brats came stomping on my lawn. My long black hair runs in the family from birth, so I can’t really control all of that nonsense. And lastly, I honestly don’t know why these children are facing charges against me when I was only simply trying to help them. Now I was minding my own business, cleaning up all my candy decorations. Then all of the sudden I heard a chomping noise. I looked to my left and right there, on my brand new black licorice panel window was Hansel and Gretel, eating part of my house. I was furious! Did they know that I spent many, many hard working hours decorating my house just in time for …show more content…
Right then and there I saw Gretel trying to prepare some home cooked meal. As confused I merely saw her, there she was sprinkling ingredients onto an enormous pan.
Confused I had suddenly asked, “Gretel! What in the world are you doing?” She had swiftly explained that she had wanted to have one final cooked dinner by her and her brother to thank me on everything that I had done for them. After a few minutes of her banging each one of the silver pots and pans, she had finally asked in her cool sickening voice, “Can you go check the oven, I don’t know how to set the timer” So there I was crouching down on the cool tile ground trying to set the timer, and then I suddenly I felt the little brats tug on my ankles and drag me on the lid of the oven. As they pushed the heavy lid I slowly tumbled down into the blazing hot oven. I never knew that an act of an good deed can lead towards the misfortunes of another.

    Norton presents a text where she offers a “new interpretation of the witchcraft crisis” of Salem, Massachusetts (101 of 8616). She argues that rather than solely analyzing Salem, scholars must analyze the whole of Essex County, Massachusetts (113,184).

    Witches! The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem is a National Geographic book that gives an overview of the Salem Witch Trials from its start to its finish. The author, Rosalyn Schanzer, is complete in her telling of the events, starting from the point where no one guessed that the afflicted girls were being tortured by witches and ending with the stories of how each person lived out their lives after the trials ended. The drawback of recording over a year of time within 131 pages is that the information isn’t as in depth as possible, and though everything is touched on there are obvious focuses, such as the reverend, who appears on nearly twenty different pages, as opposed the the symptoms of the girls’ affliction which appeared on…

    In The Notion of Witchcraft Explains Unfortunate Events, E.E. Evans-Pritchard discusses one case study about the time he spent with the Azande tribe and what he learned about them and their interpretations of magic and witchcraft. Evans-Pritchard describes that the Zande have a philosophy that can easily be described by the following metaphor: witchcraft is the umbaga (or second spear) meaning that the Azande people use witchcraft to complement their understanding of reality (The Notion of Witchcraft 25). The author then offers a point of contrast by speaking about the “we” of Western society and how we differ from the Azande people. In Structural Anthropology, Claude Levi-Strauss provides multiple different ethnographic vignettes that attempt…

    Before and during the murder Lady Macbeth’s character changes from persuasive, manipulative and dominant to just dominant, but Macbeth’s character also changes but in a unique way since his character changes from a person who relies on others to decide for him to a remorseful person. Lady Macbeth’s character before the murder is persuasive and manipulative. Evidence for this can be found when Lady Macbeth is talking to Macbeth and she tries to make him decide on whether to kill Duncan or not by saying ‘I dare not wait upon I would’ or for him to ‘live a coward'. In addition to her being persuasive, it also seems as if she may be an impatient person, as she said, ‘I dare not wait’.…
