Like Ann, Lewis claimed that she saw Martha Cory’s spirit roasting a spectral man on a spit inside her fireplace”(Schanzer 45). If one person became afraid of another because they were seen doing strange things or wearing strange vestments, then they might convince others that the person is an imp or a witch/wizard. “Common history has painted Annand her young peers as selfish, vicious fakers who fueled the witchcraft trials out of boredom or spite.

In Shakespeare's “The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” Tybalt is responsible for Tybalt's death due to the fact that all his actions leading up to this one draining event.

Beatty had known about the secrets Montag kept and while trying to misguide him, the shy acquaintance had been whispering in Montag’s ear guiding him to ignore Beatty.

I chose fire because when I would here about it it would paint the most vivid picture in my head out of the 3 options. When the old Jewish lady would scream about fire on the trailer I could just picture how big and scarey this fire would be and knowing about how they killed all the Jews by burning them alive it just made me sad that there was such brutal things happening to these people just because of what they believed in.

The way that this information supports my opinion is that just here how she was yelling about a fire made me think about how I have seen big fires and what happens to things when you put things in them and just having heard about all the story about burns on humans that it just made me think the

The firefighters also burn whole houses down, “Beatty flicked his fingers to spark the kerosine. It was too late. Montag gasped. The woman on the porch reached out with contempt to them all, and struck the kitchen match against the railing.”

Symbolism is one of the most important properties a story can have. It's often used to develop a character or a theme throughout the story that is being told. Symbolism in literature is best described by as the use of symbols and objects to signify ideas and qualities by giving them a symbolic meanings that are very different from their literal sense. The short stories "Where are you going, Where have you been?" and "The Yellow Wallpaper" have very obvious examples of symbolism.
