Kut witch of blackbird pind
It has been a long time since I read The Witch of Blackbird Pond. I was pleasantly surprised to discover how well it held up over time. Quite deservedly, it was the Newbery winner in 1959 and it may have been my first "witch trial" novel, a sub-genre I still enjoy reading.
The story begins in April 1687 and Kit (Katherine) Tyler, 16, is sailing to her new home with her puritanical aunt and uncle in the colony of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Kit has grown up in her grandfather's lavish home in Barbados after the death of her parents. But now he is gone, too and there is no money to maintain the kind of life Kit had with him.
The only problem is that her aunt and uncle don't know she is coming, and, oh yes, Kit doesn't know they are Puritans. And to make matter worse, on the way to Wethersfield Kit manages to get on the wrong side of Goodwife Cruff when she jumps into the Connecticut River to retrieve a toy belonging to her daughter Prudence Cruff. Naturally, the first mutterings of witch are heard since Puritans believe that only witch's don't drown.
Of course, Kit's aunt and uncle take her in and to her delight, she discovers that she has two cousins - Judith and Mercy, both around her age. Kit tries to fit in but her impulsiveness keeps falling into disfavor by those around her. After she suggests that the kids in Mercy's "dame school" act out a Bible story, Kits runs off in tears after the minister harshly chastises her for it and finds herself in the great meadow where the witch of Blackbird Pond lives. The so-called witch is just a woman named Hannah Tupper, who had been run out of Massachusetts by Puritans for being a Quaker after being cruelly punished for her religion and is barely tolerated in Wethersfield by the Puritans there.
During a visit to Hannah, Kit also discovers that they have a mutual acquaintance - Nat Eaton, the son of the captain of the boat that brought Kit to Connecticut from Barbados. Though she is somewhat attracted to Nat, he seems more interested in helping Hannah.
Hannah's cottage is an attractive place to outcasts - soon Prudence Cruff is also a regular visitor. Not allowed to attend Mercy's "dame school" because her mother claims that she is too simple to learn, Kit secretly teaches her to read at Hannah's and discovers that Prudence often spends time there without her.
At the same time, Kit is being courted by William Ashby, a wealthy young man who could provide her with the kind of lifestyle she had enjoyed in Barbados. The only problem is that Kit isn't attracted to William and the reader can immediately see he is more suited to her cousin Judith.
Trouble begins when a serious illness befalls the residents of Wethersfield, causing some of the children to die. When Hannah is blamed for causing it using witchcraft, a band of citizens plan to go to her cottage, kill her and burn down her home. Kit hears about the plan, but she is busy taking care of the gravely ill Mercy. Can she do anything to save Hannah from certain death? And later, save herself from accusations of being a witch, too?
I read The Witch of Blackbird Pond on my own the first time and I thought it was a good story about a

The Witch of Blackbird Pond also provides a wonderful window into the culture and everyday life for the girls and women in this country in the 17th century, including education, courtship, marriage and running an efficient home and even ideas about friendship.
The author, Elizabeth George Speare, really researched her topic, making this one of the best historical fiction novels for young readers. She has skillfully blended in well known historical facts of the time and place well that we have planned a summer trip to Wethersfield to see it for ourselves.

Reviews for "The Best Techniques for Applying L'Oreal Magic Lumi Shimmer Cream"
1. Sarah - 1/5 rating - I was really disappointed with the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Shimmer Cream. First of all, the shade range is extremely limited, and I struggled to find a color that matched my skin tone. Additionally, the formula felt heavy on my skin and didn't blend well. It looked streaky and emphasized all the imperfections on my face rather than giving me a luminous glow. I also found that it didn't last very long and started to fade after just a few hours. Overall, I would not recommend this product.
2. Robert - 2/5 rating - I tried using the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Shimmer Cream as a highlighter, but it just didn't work for me. The consistency is too thick and sticky, making it difficult to apply and blend smoothly. The shimmer particles were also too chunky and ended up looking more like glitter on my face rather than a natural glow. It also had a strange scent that I found off-putting. I really wanted to love this product, but unfortunately, it just didn't live up to my expectations.
3. Emily - 2/5 rating - I have sensitive skin, and unfortunately, the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Shimmer Cream didn't work well for me. It caused my skin to break out and left it feeling greasy and uncomfortable. The packaging was also quite messy, as the product would often leak out of the tube, making it difficult to control the amount used. I also found that it didn't provide much coverage and didn't give me the radiant finish I was hoping for. I would recommend doing a patch test before using this product if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.
