An Analysis of the Geography of Witchcraft

Benjamin C. quill wrote The Geography of Witchcraft Accusation in 1692 Salam Village in order to intend that geographic analysis of the witchery accusation, economic, ghostlike as well as hearty status shows at that place was no square east-west variance within Salam Village. In the article, diversify points out that the defend included in Salam Possessed is not scarce interpretive but as well incomplete.He states that there was an inconsistency in giving a numerical count of accusers and accused in the village. Moreover, he questions about the setting of the air line at the center of the interpret. enlighten also offers a rewrite map of the accusation due to incorrect twist of accuser and accused and intended exclusion of eighter from Decatur afflicted girls and the five villagers. From the revised map, radiotherapy reveals that there is no signifi dopet division.Conversely, Boyer and Nissenbaum express that inclusion of the eight afflicted girls would not signifi cantly change the geographic imitate because they were not decisive shapers and also six-spot of eight were not living in the parents house during the witchcraft outbreak. Although Boyer and Nissenbaum provided a wide of the mark range of information related to the accusation, they failed to present data as given in sources and convincing explanations. Apparently, they intended to show the division in the Village by sounding at the map.However, Ray not only indicates errors contained in the map but also reveals the different possible interpretation which can be drawn conclusion from the revised map. I believe the use of the map for illustrating the east-west division of the witchcraft accusation in inappropriate. for omission of accusers and location of the demarcation line, and Boyer and Nissenbaum introduced sentiment of geographic distribution in the patterns of witchcraft accusation in the first chapter of capital of Oregon Possessed.
