    The infamous Salem witch trials began during the spring of 1692, after a group of young girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts, claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several local women of witchcraft. As a wave of hysteria spread throughout colonial Massachusetts, a special court convened in Salem to hear the cases; the first convicted witch, Bridget Bishop, was hanged that June. Eighteen others followed Bishop to Salem's Gallows Hill, while some 150 more men, women and children were accused over the next several months. By September 1692, the hysteria had begun to abate and public opinion turned against the trials. Though the Massachusetts General Court later annulled guilty verdicts against accused witches and granted indemnities to their families, bitterness lingered in the community, and the painful legacy of the Salem witch trials would endure for centuries.…

    After I completed my education, I want to contribute to the community by volunteering to teach foreign students. I have a motivation on helping foreign students because of my experience. When I moved to the United States, I feel alone, I had hard time learning the language, I did not make friends easily and other emotions that every immigrants go through. Being an immigrant have other consequences, as not knowing the school system. I speak of this by my experience and some of my friends experience. I move here in my sophomore year, the system of education in the United States was different from when I came ( Mexico). I was placed in English Learners Development class and I fall behind to finish my A through G class on time. I believe that if someone would teach me the requirements on time, I would not have to take additional classes to make my requirements and be able to take other classes that I would like. From this, I believe that with this contribution the rate of foreign students graduating and going to college will be higher. I also want to contribute in further future by using my talent in art. I want to use art as a therapy. The time when I arrived to the United States, I felt alone because my parents were not there for me. I live with my mother’s friend but it was not the same as living with my parents. I had hard time communicating with people and that is when I discovered my passion. I started making art and expressing my feelings through art. It gave me a better understanding that art can help with self-esteem. I got more confidence talking to people because people wanted to know about my artwork. I believe that expressing through art will help to make people more confidence about themselves and get over through negative emotions. I hope that I can be part of a contribution where I can use my ability and talent to help others.…

    Human behavior at times can be unusual and unacceptable. The behavior of people is influenced by their attitude, emotions, authority, and genetics. Behavior is the way a person reacts to different situations. A person’s behavior can be affected by many things, such as change of situation or even medical conditions. Every human being has different behavior. A number of human behaviors may lead to other people being affected. At times people do certain behaviors without even realizing it, and others do so due to psychological issues they are facing. The memoirs The Wounds That Can’t be Stitched Up, by Ruth Russell (Rosa and Eschholz 158-161), Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call Police, by Martin Gansberg (Rosa and Eschholz 239-242), and Me Talk Pretty One Day, by David Sedaris (Rosa and Eschholz 290-295), are perfect examples of a bad behavior situation in a specific place. In these memoirs, Russell, Gansberg, and Sedaris refer to the situations of bad behavior they went through in a certain place. All of these three authors were affected in a particular place by bad behavior.…
