Fear: a simple word with an abundance of meanings. To one, fear can be losing a loved one and to another it can be being alone for their entire life. Ghandi once claimed that the enemy of every soul is not hate, but fear itself. This enemy, however, can be derived from hate, for everything you loathe is the reason for your distress. Taking the Salem Witch Trial as an example, fear portrayed an enormous role in the lives of many. During the time period of 1692 to 1693, fear controlled an entire village by manipulation and hatred. Arthur Miller’s The Crucible perfectly captures how fear is exploited by characters in the play because these characters used their hatred towards others to build up horror in the sacred town of Salem. Although this classic novel was written over fifty years ago, Miller touched on timeless societal fears that still apply to the existing world today. As seen through Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, fear can prompt people to denounce their beliefs in order to save their own lives, prevent their reputation from being tarnished, and it can make one take extreme measures in order to protect the ones they love.

Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat. Our own emotions, especially fear, make us do the things we never saw ourselves doing. In the play “The Crucible” many of the characters actions are driven by fear. President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. This emotion doesn’t have to control our actions.

rucible” a word that it's not only to form a sword but also to form a men. John Proctor after all the time he spent on jail and on the court he still remained a man with honor. In the play The Crucible written by Arthur Miller in 1692 most individuals are being control by fear and in that feeling certain emotions show up. On the 1960’s there was a group called the red hunts that promoted fear on potential rise of communism or radical leftism and the crucible basically the same as the crucible but the crucible is based on the 1600’s on Salem and it involves witchcraft. So fear it’s a powerful emotion that can result in many things.

Throughout the play, fear played an important role and often ended in persecution. Tituba, a slave, was a woman who entertained the children in the town. She was accused of witchcraft due to this and had to get out of it somehow. Out of fear and in the midst of being beaten, she decided to admit to the accusation although flip it around, blaming others, specifically homeless woman, who would be easy targets. Another time fear was apparent was when Mary, a nervous girl working for the proctor household, accused John proctor to save herself.

14) Earlier in the story, the alchemist told Santiago "when you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed." At the end of the story, how does this simple lesson change Santiago’s life? How does it lead him back to the treasure he was looking for?

Some people in the book assisted Santiago on his guide, but the Alchemist inspired him to not give up. He said, ‘“At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to

When many Americans look back on the Salem Witch Trials, they wonder how it could have happened; they don’t realize that they are currently living in the midst of a modern day witch hunt - this time with a different targeted group: Muslim Americans. In the years since 9/11 occurred, Americans have become obsessed with terrorism and looked for people to blame these terrible attacks on. However, it has been within the past nine months or so that hysteria has hit a fever pitch. Leading up to the 2016 election and following the appointment of President Donald Trump, terrorism and national defense have become topics of intense interest across the nation. Although not supported by many Americans, a hunt for terrorists in the country began, with Muslim Americans being the first to be targeted. Arthur Miller’s The Crucible reveals how fear can make a group of people act in irrational and misguided ways, a lesson that is extremely applicable today in how Muslim

Arthur Miller wrote “The Crucible” in 1952 and about forty years later explained his purpose in an article titled “Why I Wrote the Crucible.” Miller expresses some of the emotions he went through as his book gained popularity saying, “I remember those years...but I have lost the dead weight of the fear I had then. Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth.” At first, he refers to fear as dead weight as if it was useless but still pulling him down but then he explains the importance of fear. He claimed that fear can warp our judgement which seems realistic because when people are in a situation the causes fear they are known to take out of the ordinary action. Miller also suggests that fear is a crucial part of our memory and without fear our memories can fade and the truth of the issue as well. Miller was likely fearful of the

In the story I predict that the children will end up not meeting Boo, because they are too scared to even walk across the sidewalk by his house. The children were playing baseball and they threw the ball over the fence, and said it is gone forever. That is how scared they must be to not even try and go get it. The children think that he will do the worst possible thing if they even consider getting their ball back. The children believe that if they walk near his house or even grab something by his house that Boo will come out and kill them all. Therefore many of the children are scared because the they believe that Boo will come and hurt them. Some of the kids also say that he goes up to their windows at night and watches them sleep, and if

Fear is a common human emotion, but the way some people react is different than others. Although, it is harder on some humans unlike other people. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said,” Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.” I think that means that fear harms more people than anything else does in the whole world. Also that people can scare themselves way easier than normal and it’s not healthy.

Young boy Santiago is a shepherd because he knows what he wants. In “The Alchemist” Santiago changes in many ways and learns many things from the start to the end of the book. Santiago is going to a village as a shepherd and in the meantime, he is staying in an abandoned church. When he is sleeping he keeps having a reoccurring dream, so he explains it to a gypsy woman. The woman says that he will find a treasure in the pyramids in Egypt. Later, he meets an old man that tells him that to he has to listen to omens to find his treasure.

When he gets enough money to cross the desert and go to the pyramids, he meets a caravan about to cross the desert. On their way to the other side of the desert, they figure out that war is going on in the middle of the desert, so they have to stop for a long time until the war is over. Since Santiago

“The Gift Of Fear,” a psychology book written by Gavin De Becker, is an extremely useful and informative read. It gives valuable advice about how to act upon human intuition, how to recognize threats, and defines what real fear is and it’s purpose. I found the book to be extremely interesting. This book provided me with a sense of understanding on violence and fear and I feel much better prepared when it comes to recognizing dangerous situations.

Obviously, to not believe in what Christ’s taught and fought against, inevitably becomes the same thing as not believing in Him.
