There are Puritan references. I hate books with Puritan references, but it is much more esteemed. I reference The Salem Witch Trials. Elizabeth Hubbard was one of the main finger pointers in that and Mrs. Hubbard (in the story) is her daughter.
I also make a reference to one of those stupid books about Puritan New England or about how crazy the beliefs of the colonists were (not life, liberty and pursuit of happiness more like ghosts, witches and headless horsemen). This one is a lot less stupid, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". I read it over the summer and it is referenced quite clearly. I will explain most of the story later on, but right now, all you need to know is "The cognomen of Crane was not inapplicable to his
person. He was tall, but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, long arms and
legs, hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served
for shovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together." and he has "long snipe nose, so that it looked like a weather-cock
perched upon his spindle neck to tell which way the wind blew." A weather cock is that thing that spins to tell which way the wind is going, like in Mary Poppins.
There is a gay character, Valentin, who is perfectly fine. He has a boyfriend, Harrison, who he falls for in this chapter. It is okay. Don't lose your head.
I think that is it.
