Abigail's Early Childhood

Foil characters are two characters that are complete opposites of one another. In the story The Crucible, there are plenty of characters that differ from each other. Two of the characters that have the biggest foil are Abigail and Elizabeth. Abigail is manipulative and attention seeking child. However Elizabeth is suspicious and a very relaxed wife of John Procter. Abigail and Elizabeth show their two very different personalities in three different ways, one being their traits, two being how they both change threw out the story, and their effect on being different from each other, therefore; characters in the story The Crucible are shown to be very different from each other.

Abigail Adams was born Abigail Smith in 1744 at Weymouth, Massachusetts. She was a descendent of the Qunicys', a very prestigious family in the colonies, on her mothers' side. On her fathers' side Abigail was a descendent of Congressional Ministers. During a time when women did not receive a formal education, her grandmother at home taught Abigail. Her eagerness to learn and to read is what created a bond between John Adams

1). Q: What ethos does Abigail establish in the opening paragraph? How do the questions contribute to the person she presents?

The author of this document is Abigail Adams, a white female that is married to John Adams. She lives in a time where women have no form of representation, and they live in the shadow of men. Because of this, Abigail takes up a woman’s traditional role and performs activities such as manufacture clothing for her family, soap making, creating gun/cannon powder for her husband, and other chores for the benefit of her household (Adams, Paragraph 12). Fulfilling this role has shaped her by securing her inferiority to her husband and other males. She as a woman lacks power both socially and politically when it comes to the opposite gender; however, it is just this that has cultivated her attitude towards her government, the male sex, and even her own spouse. By requesting that her husband remember to give rights to women, it shows that she was brave enough to present her opinions even though they were unwelcomed (Adams, Paragraph 9). She is headstrong in the sense that she is willing to rebel if she does not receive the proper representation that she is asking for. Also, by mentioning that the women would rebel, Abigail displays her intelligence because she could foresee the inevitable future if women’s rights were not improved (Adams, Paragraph 9). She sees the world for what it is, unjust. Moreover, her social and political inferiority did not result in ignorance. Based on her vocabulary, writing style, and comprehension/expression of such complex ideas, she reveals that she is

“The most memorable characters in fiction are not people most of us would choose as our friends” (Allen 1). Readers find it intriguing to learn about a character that lacks predictability: they could do no wrong in one scene, then turn around and become a backstabbing liar in the next. The same characteristics that would not make the best of friends. Irregularity makes a character and the story, for that matter, interesting. Abigail Williams from The Crucible develops into a character that readers love to hate. Her anger, her cunning, her passion, every twist and turn she brings throughout the play brings fascination with it. She would not be an especially remarkable candidate for a best friend, however, but it perusers find it extremely easy to remember her. Abigail exhibits memorability not because of the qualities that prove a good friend, but because of her intransigence, her passion, her accusatory behavior, and her manipulation.

Abigail Adams married a man destined to be a major leader of the American Revolution and the second President of the United States. Although she married and raised men that become such significant figures during their time, her herself was played an important role in the American society. The events that happened in her life, starting from childhood and ending in her adult years, led her to be a Revolutionary woman. Three main reasons behind her becoming such a strong, independent woman was the fact that she married a man who had an important role in politics, growing up with no education, and raising a family basically by herself.

I’m writing this letter on behalf of Abigail Raup, student ID #4406770 in support of waiving the non-custodial profile. I have known Abby for about three and a half years, as her School Counselor. Her relationship with her biological father has been estranged for many years now.

In The Crucible, I assume that the character Abigail is a static character. Abigail is considered a static character for the reason that no matter what her feelings never change. She does whatever she is yearning to be happy with herself. It makes no difference if she is hurting other people as long she is joyous. An example is how she accuses Elizabeth Proctor of being a witch even though it's not true. She only did it for the reason that she thought she would be able to be with John Proctor. The character John Proctor is a dynamic character. John is considered a dynamic character because he changes his feelings in the entire play. In the beginning he was a quiet farmer and now he is a brave man with a great deal of courage. In the beginning

    Abigail Adams was also a very intelligent woman for her time.  She was never formally educated, but she wanted to be as educated as she could be.  Instead of being formally educated she was educated through her peers, friends, family members, and books.  Being a female it wasn’t seen as important for a women to get a formal education, “Female education in the best of families went no further than writing and arithmetic.” (Holton, 7).  They were suppose to focus on the family and the work at home.  She loved reading.  Her education played a great role in her relationship with her husband John Adams.  For example, John gave Abigail books as a way to win her over, because he knew her love for expanding her knowledge.  They also would show off to each other their own knowledge, and while doing so Abigail learned many new things.  Abigail was also very involved in the politics that were going on around her.  She kept up with them very religiously.  While John was away she would write to him about the politics going on at home and she felt about them.  She wanted to be educated in politics and believed that women should have more rights.  Overall Abigail didn’t let gender restrictions, or any other ideas or practices get in the way of

Dearest Friend: A Life of Abigail Adams is a New York Times bestselling biography, written by Lynne Withey. The contents of the book mainly revolved around the life of Abigail Adams, who became the most influential woman in America’s Revolutionary Period. This happened in large part due to being the wife of patriot John Adams, the nation-state 's significant second president. Throughout her life, and their marriage, Abigail maintained her and John’s farm in Braintree, Massachusetts, bore six children, and sustained an interest in politics as well as current events. John spent years traveling, first to Philadelphia and then to Paris and London, which left her to take care of everything at home, single-handedly. She eventually accompanied John to London, and to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. when he was elected as the vice president and then inaugurated as the president of the United States.

Abigail Adams’s father was William Smith, Reverend from congregational church. Her mother was Elizabeth Quincy, from a well-known political family in Massachusetts. Abigail. She was born second and her siblings

The central character for The Crucible could be Abigail. Abigail is characterized as being a fabricator with destructive tendencies. Though she refuses to admit her name has been tainted in the town, Abigail knows of her carnage in the village has ruined it for good. Abigail is accused of witchcraft in the beginning of the act and therefore attempting to lie her way through it, she ends up admitting it. But alternately of taking the punishment, she blames someone else for pressuring her into it. The quote “Don’t lie! She comes to me while I sleep; she’s always making me dream corruptions!” (Miller 14) shows that Abby had admitted dreaming and doing corrupt things, but puts the blame on others. At the end of the act, the blame switches from

When Elizabeth Blackwell graduated from Geneva Medical School in 1849, she became the first woman doctor in the United States. When she enrolled in the Medical Register of the United Kingdom, this made her Europe’s first modern woman doctor.

Summary- Adam and Eve bear two children, Cain and Able. Cain is in charge of tilling the ground and Abel is in charge of herding the sheep. They both sacrifice part of their work to God; Cain presenting God the fruit of the ground and Abel the fat sheep of his herd. The Lord favored Abel's offering over Cain and as a result of that, Cain grew very contemptuous and resentful of his brother. Cain murders Abel and the Lord punishes him by banishing him, condemning him to a life of wandering, and the inability to harvest crops.

In the novel “The Crucible”, Although Abigail did do many things that are wrong and truly punishable, I don't think all the blame should be placed on her because there was many factors adding on to the sad ending conclusion. Personally, I think Abigail was so in love torn over not having John Proctor as a lover or even just a friend in her life that she took revenge into her hands and vowed to herself that she would take Elizabeth’s happiness away from her. I think in a way she wanted Elizabeth to suffer just as she did when Elizabeth cut ties with her from seeing John Proctor after the affair. I feel that many people reading the story could in fact justify that it was all Abigail's fault for all the tears, pain, blood, and hurt caused throughout the story but many of her little girlfriends and village people participated in many of the lies that she told. People like Judge Danforth, Tituba, Mary Warren and many more did not help with their opinions and horrible judgments throughout the story. For example Tituba, towards the middle of the story says “ Mister Reverend, I do believe somebody else be witchin’ these children” and “ I don't know, sir, but the devil got him numerous witches”. If she would've never said that to the reverend the girls would of never really made such a big fuss yelling out other people's innocent names to the village. Honestly if she would of never said that i do think Abigail would of had such a good background story in keeping the lie up and i
