Analysis Of The Witch Of The Blackbird Pond

494 Words2 Pages

The Witch of the Blackbird Pond was about a girl named “Kit” or Katherine Tyler who ended up meeting a lady named Hannah Tuff, who people thought was a witch. Kit’s journey began when she moved to Wethersfield to live with her aunt named Rachael after her grandfather passed away. She traveled on a boat called the dolphin, and met Nat Eaten and flirted and hung out with him. She also met a polite, young man named John Holbrook. During the trip they stopped by America, and Kit got off the boat. While getting back on, a small child dropped her toy and pitched a fit, but no one moved so Kit dived in and grabbed it. Then Nat jumped in to save her because he did not think she was able to swim. When they arrived in Wethersfield, she told the captain that she didn’t tell her aunt she was coming, but when Rachael saw her she was happy and let her stay. It was pretty hard to adapt to the new place, and do labor that her old slaves used to do. While working in a field, she asked about a shed by the blackbird pond, and she went to meet the owner who lived there with her cats. She told her aunt about her new friend, but Rachael did not approve because she was mistaken as a “witch”. When in reality she was a Quaker, but it was …show more content…

Kit was very brave. Racheal was gentle and timid. Mathew was Strict. John was very polite and professional. Nat was just cool. Judith was impatient and Mercy was kind. The thing I would change if I had the option might be the title. The title is “The Witch of the Blackbird Pond” and the “witch” is not even mentioned until the eighth chapter and after that she isn’t even really a main character. I liked pretty much everything, except for some awkwardness. There were a lot of themes that I picked up. Kit was a very brave and courageous character and everyone had a lot of loyalty. In conclusion, I would recommend this book. I thought it was pretty

    Honestly there were parts that were a little boring in between all the action and fighting, but for the most part it kept me interested. One thing that I loved and hated was the use of so many characters so fast. For me, this made certain parts very confusing as I tried to put names with facts while getting certain characters mixed up. The beginning of the novel is harder to follow because of this.

    I loved how each character had an extraordinary distinct and quirky trait, but portrayed in a very dark, humorous way. Especially the incredibly racist and witchy Mrs. Wire. Nightingale reminded me of a the character Rick from the Adult Swim show Rick and Morty, but instead of a scientist he is an artist. Nightingale’s cynicism and blunt manner towards the writer accentuated the qualities in Rick, so it was very easy to read Nightingale’s lines in his raspy voice. Initially, I really admired Jane.

    People often dislike someone because they are different. This then leads to outrage and confusion when the person makes a stand that changes the way of life. In the Witch of Blackbird Pond, a novel by Elizabeth George Spear, Puritans in the 1600s were similar in this way. Puritans do not understand people who were different from their religion. The Puritans do not understand Katherine Tyler, who goes by the name Kit, a girl from Barbados, who has moved to Connecticut to live with her Aunt Rachel, Uncle Matthew, and Cousins Judith and Mercy.

  • Identity In The Witch Of Blackbird Pond

    392 Words  | 2 Pages

    Based on what I have read in The Witch of Blackbird pond and Identity, these two stories approach the same theme which is being an outcast or not being the same as other people around them. This is because in Identity, it states, "I'd rather be unseen, and if /shunned by everyone/ than to be a pleasant-smelling flower/ growing in clusters in the fertile valley,/where they are praised, handled, and plucked by greedy, human hands," (stanza 15-18). These stanzas tell that they aren't the same as other people around them so they use plants as a metaphor. This is because it would make it easier to understand in this poem. For example, in Identity, it states, "I'd rather smell of a musty, green stench/ than of sweet, fragrant lilac," (stanzas 19-20).

    Even though I thoroughly enjoyed this book, there was one particular thing I would change. Instead of having organized her chapters to follow a traditional plot, Ellen seemed to have randomly ordered the series of events that occurred throughout the book. What I mean by this, is that there was no distinct flow to the story. It was mostly just a big clump of jumbled events. With this, I would sometimes get confused and lose interest in sections of the book.

The family faces many hardships along the way such as losing family members and also having two die, but they also meet many new people. The main idea of this book was family because no matter how bad it was Ma was able to keep the family composed. There were many characters throughout this book
