Having power is the ability to control and influence the behaviors of others. In the small town of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, women were kept from having power. They were to be docile and surrender to the authority of men. They were not to have a substantial role in their community - only men could fill the positions of leaders and ministers. However, women found a way to have power anyways, even with non traditional methods. A witch is a person close to God and being close to God is being in a place of high power. So, when rumors of women practicing witchcraft begin to circulate, the town’s biggest fear begins to arise and they quickly tried to put a stop to it, henceforth, the witch trials commenced.

The ways in which women are able to achieve power include Abigail Williams’ use of dishonesty and manipulation that prompts the witch trials as well as Rebecca Nurse’s refusal of a confession that defies the conventional paradigms of the society.

However, the negative effect comes later in the Second World War. What was the cause of Germany’s great loss? Some of the reasons were his powerful and inhumane mistakes. Whatever he has done remains in the history. What does that tell us about power? No matter who you are power will bring both negative and positive outcomes.

I don’t recall the exact process I went through to becoming bilingual as a child, but when I saw the reaction of the children in the film, speaking with tounges, on their first day of kindergarten in a mandarin dual immersion class. Even though they were lost, they also seemed very intrigued of what their teacher was explaining to them in an unknown language. I can visualize my reaction being very similar because of the knowledge I have attained throughout these courses of how second language acquisition occurs.
