.... to witchery: if a farmer’s cow failed to give milk, or his horse went lame, or his well dried up; it was a witch’s doing; if a housewife couldn’t get the butter to come, a witch was controlling the churning; if a horse’s mane was found tangled, it had been knotted by a witch who had used it as a stirrup to mount for a stolen ride to a witches’ Sabbath (Robbins 56). In the Massachusetts Bay Colony, a strong belief in the Devil, factions among Salem Village fanatics and rivalry with nearby Salem Town, a recent small pox epidemic, and the threat of attack by warring tribes created a fertile ground for fear and suspicion (S.W.M. Ed.1). The dra .....

.... forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far nobly advanced. It is rather for us to here dedicated to the great task remaining before us– that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion– that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain– that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom– and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth." Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863. It .....

.... used make-up and wore baggy dresses, which often exposed their arms as well as their legs from the knees down. The flapper movies were modern and influenced a revolution in fashion. During the time of the Great Depression, film was a source of cheerful escapism for most. People were out of work, but they did manage to find money to go the movies. Even during the darkest days of the Depression, movie attendance was between 60-75 million per week. The balancing act for film making was to both reflect the realism and cynicism of the Depression period. They also provided escape entertainment to boost the morale of the public by optimistically reaff .....

.... very well. The basis of Tai-Chi Chuan derives from the idea of being constantly round when performing it. If you are attacked on a straight line and you resist on a straight line, the stronger force will win, but if the incoming force is neutralized by circularity, then it becomes easier to defeat your opponent, no matter how strong they might be. That’s what Tai-Chi is based on, but It takes years of practice to get any good at it and decades to master. Another example of is Korea’s Tae Kwon Do. The main differences between Tai-Chi and Tae Kwon Do is the uniforms and idea of movement. In Tai-Chi you can wear whatever clothes you feel com .....

.... Ohio were busy experimenting with gliders. Wilbur and Orville Wright had first becomed interested in flying machines as children when their father brought home a whirling toy . Fascinated, they wound up the rubber band on the cork and paper toy to watch it fly again and again. They built and flew their own versions. "Throughout their lives, the brothers experimented with mechanical things Wilbur would come up with the ideas and Orville would analyse and implement them." (McMahon 23). The two brothers opened a shop in 1896 to build and repair bicycles. The same year, Otto Lilienthal was killed when his glider crashed and the Wrights began to sear .....

.... turn it into a good film. The result was a success - though the film is a far cry from the novel - so far the film's title doesn't even make sense. To Have and Have Not has every necessary ingredient for success: sex, violence, suspense, and the occasional musical interlude. Hawks gives us a little of everything in his hacked-up version of Hemmingway, and when the sparks start to settle he has Bacall do a little number at the piano bar which may be irrelevant, but Bacall's lovely and libidinous manor far makes up for it. The film may lack class but it's all the more entertaining because of it. Bacall and Bogart strike a .....

.... define theatre anthropology. It is defined as “the study of the biological and cultural behavior of man in a theatrical situation.� He writes that anthropology and theatre have no definite boundary and uses anthropology to show theatrical aspects in everyday life, which brings one to ask the second question. How do the social sciences show theatre used in everyday life? Helbo uses sociology and biology to site instances through which theatre is used in everyday life. Sociologists see theatre in the social structures we face on a daily basis. A handshake, tipping a doorman and even the forbidden middle finger is what Erving Goffman terms “r .....

.... of that Saturday, three Cuban military bases were bombed by B-26 bombers. The airfields at Camp Libertad, San Antonio de los Ba¤os and Antonio Maceo airport at Santiago de Cuba were fired upon. Seven people were killed at Libertad and forty-seven people were killed at other sites on the island. Two of the B-26s left Cuba and flew to Miami, apparently to defect to the United States. The Cuban Revolutionary Council, the government in exile, in New York City released a statement saying that the bombings in Cuba were ". . . carried out by 'Cubans inside Cuba' who were 'in contact with' the top command of the Revolutionary Council . . . ." The New Yor .....

.... who had become accustomed to a certain way of thinking were not willing to budge, thus keeping the radicals silent. Individualism was also partially suppresse d by the succession of three traditionalist Republican presidents whose partiality to the strong was displayed by their strong backing of big business while discouraging the Labor Union movement. Literature was one medium by which the new intelligencia could express their views on impracticality and injustice of the social system and government in the 1920's. Sinclair Lewis was one such author who used his writing to condemn the stale and outdated ways of thinking that were so widely popul .....

.... each others way of making profit, The North felt that the South was growing too much cotton, were building too many plantations, and were too dependant on this one crop. They also felt that the South was destroying the Union by trading the cotton for goods with the Europeans and not enough with the North. But there was another side to this, the South said that they would trade with the North if they built more factories to process the cotton. The North bitterly opposed this idea. They felt that it was too risky to build more factories and lose a profit. The North would said that if they, the South, slowed down their cotton crop then there would .....
