Fall time is something different all in itself.  With the leaves changing colors and falling it is a beautiful sight.  It is something that cannot be matched by anything else.  It is a wonder that God has created for all of us to marvel at as we watch as the leaves turn from green to red, orange, and yellow, until they fall of the tree.  It is one of my favorite times of the year and Im glad that we have it.  It is a unique time of the year as the weather begins to change for the worse it is a last attempt for reasonable weather and the promise for what will come again in the spring.

McCarthy Hearings

Joseph McCarthy was the person who began the McCarthy hearings.  These hearings were during the 50's when everyone was afraid of the Communists especially because of thinking they were Russian spies. This started because of the Cold War with Russia and just our fear of them.  Because of these hearings people lost their jobs and reputations.  They were very harmful to many people and towards the end people wanted McCarthy's head for it.  They were fed up with what he was doing.  It eventually came to a stop because they ran out of people and names to question.

Act I Blog

In act 1, we see many strange things happening.  There is mass hysteria all over the town and people don't seem to know what to do.  They accuse each other of witchcraft and the town goes crazy.  Of course the mob effect doesn't help things at all.  Just because someone said that they saw someone else practicing witchcraft the person was right away being attacked by the mob.  We saw in the movie that just because Tituba was being accused Reverend Hale and the mob showed up at her living area and beat her until she confessed, repented, and started naming names that she saw with the devil.  Of course if you are hurting someone they will eventually tell you what you want to make it stop.  Because of this issue it just made it more hysteria because no one wanted to be accused.  We also see Abigail start to come into power.  Because of this Mrs Proctor is afraid that she will be accused.  She thinks this because of the affair that went on between Mr. Proctor and Abigail.  She thinks that Abigail will try and replace her.

King Phillip's War

This is an account of King Phillip's War.  Many years had passed since the white men came from overseas and disturbed the indians.  They had eventually made peace and had some people who acted as peacemakers.  Over time, these peace makers passed away.  This then created anger and fighting between the indians and the colonists.  The colonists took King Phillip's brother at gunpoint and forced him to come with them to Plymouth.  Mysteriously short thereafter he became sick and died.  This made the indians angry and so King Phillip took over and started a war against the colonists.
