 * Song- displayed that witches were tortured and treated unfairly


 * //Does the project have unity?//** Many of the writer's genres were in the perspective of "Dorcas Good," so those ones in particular were cohesive and seemed to flow together. Others, however, seemed somewhat random and didn't fit well with one another. At times it was also hard to determine who the audience was.


 * //If you cannot detect how this was done immediately, how do you think cohesion might be created in a topic like this?//**
 * 1) Make the targeted audience a little more clear
 * 2) Think of genres that flow a little more smoothly
