Epilogue To The Crucibles

In chapter 8 just as we thought Ethan had given up on the idea of running away with Mattie, because he had no money he came up with a plan to deceive the hales in order to get an advance on the lumber money to fulfill his plan. His plan included taking advantage of Andrew Hale’s kindness and using his sick wife’s illness as a lie “suddenly it occurred to him that Andrew Hale ,who was a kind-hearted man , might be induced to reconsider his refusal and advance a small sum on the lumber if he were told Zeena’s ill-health made it necessary to hire a servant” (Wharton chapter 8). As he was making his way to the Hale’s home he saw Andrew’s wife and their son driving the sleigh. They stopped to talk and Mrs. Hale began to explain her sympathy for

They had no life; they were not allowed to have a life. They were isolated from not only the white race but also their own people. Mr. Michael Reed was one of those slave owners that treated his slaves that they were nothing more than a piece of property. In his files, Mr. Reed had a ledger of daily activities. This ledger contained an hourly and daily record of everything his slaves would do. In some of his recordings, Mr. Reed would write down very strange things for what activity his slaves were doing. He would make mention when they were sick, of course, so he could know how many hours they worked, but many of his recordings were not appropriate for him to be

A crucible is a container which is heated to separate impurities mainly from metals and sometimes other substances. Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, takes place in a quiet Massachusetts town known as Salem. Rumors of witchcraft, however have unfortunately left the townspeople susceptible to blame one another. A quiet town virtually turned in a mad haven for blame, revenge, and dark satisfaction overnight. The reader witnesses all of these events unfold as they delve into the story of The Crucible and reveal how revenge reveals the motives of many characters.

To follow, one can choose to resort to another lover or to isolate themselves from their family. Susie’s mother, Abigail may have been the one who took Susie’s death with greatest impact.

Thesis: In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Thomas Putnam, Deputy Governor Danforth, And Abigail Williams are most to blame for the catastrophic events encircling the Salem Witch trials.

It was a bright cold day in Salem, where the sun seeped through overcast skies above and the mist danced around in the street. The wind hissed and howled, and swept through the narrow streets. In the centre of the town, stood the proud house of Reverend Parris. But that day, Reverend Parris was not a proud man as the accusations of witchcraft drifted through the town, overwhelming him completely.

A little girl, named Sophia walker, was given a large doll by her parents. It was a gift from her great grandmother who had sadly passed on. Sophia was instantly unsettled by the doll, it had big black eyes that seemed to follow you around the room. Sophia, had the impression that she was expected to take the doll, because she was well raised and didn't want her parents to be upset by not taking it. The doll's name was Suzie, which made Sophia even more scared of it. Sophia thought to herself, “It was just a doll. There was nothing to worry about.” So she put her mind at ease.

I feel that extremism is dangerous because it can lead to intolerance, lying and hurting others.

The desire to be seen as perfect is seen among every human. It has been taken up by the puritan community as the way of life. Puritan belief has made it tremendously hard to not throw shame and regret on people. It causes children to act up due to them being able to get recognized. Everyone would constantly be blamed for things that weren 't bad to the community but due to human nature, they were blamed for benefiting them. Which in itself is not the act of a true puritanism. Women ( specifically young girls) all had a huge impact on Salem that caused lies and new beliefs. 3 women were the main cause of all the sales madness and mayhem these women were Abigail

In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, John Proctor is put to the ultimate test of life and death. Reverend Hale claims that people should do anything to save their life, including Proctor. However, Proctor makes the right choice to end his life not only to preserve his family's reputation but also to serve as a paragon by valuing the innocent people that died, an act more precious than his own life. If he chose to confess, Proctor would "blacken all of [his friends] when [his confession] is nailed to the church very day they hang for a silence" (132). They would have died in vain since other people will start to lack the motivation of living of upholding Christian values. In turn, Proctor would live with a guilty conscience for

Chapters 13-18 Lenina’s crush for John is increasing and it is slowly becoming uncontrollable for her. Her crush on John comes to the point that she feels obligated to go ask John out (Huxley 189) After the date is over Lenina tries to force John to have a sexual relationship with her. She does not succeed at getting his attention. John then lashes out at Lenina for trying to do something he did not want to do (Huxley 194). Shortly after John receives a phone call from the hospital. It is about his mother declining health. So, John rushes to the hospital to visit with his mother (Huxley 195-201) When he first arrives the nurses are shocked to see that someone wants to visit a person dying, but they allow it anyway. Then he tries to wake his mother up by shaking her, but was unsuccessful at it, because his mother died shortly after (Huxley 207).

My eyes drifted around the room before settling on the tea, now lukewarm in my hands. Maudie’s nonchalant face came to mind, and her firm, strong voice commanding Jean Louise and I back into the kitchen played in my head. The sudden news of Tom’s death had upset her, but she revealed nothing as such. She said to Jean Louise to stop her shaking and instructed me to control myself. Maudie maintained her composure, and assisted in upholding mine. I wondered how she had done it, but nevertheless I was grateful.
