The Crucible Chapter 1-11 Summary

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

In Act II, we see quite a bit going on, and it seems to be the climax of the story. We see Torvald belittle women once again when he says " is it to get about now that the new manager has changed his mind at his wife's bidding." We learn that Torvald expedited Krogstad's dismissal, and thus we see Nora acting really out of sorts as she tries harder and harder to maker sure Torvald never learns her secret- even going as far as to pretend she has no clue how to do the Tarantella to stop Torvald from reading the letter that Krogstad left. Finally, the Act leaves us with Nora stating "Thirty-One" hours to live- so us as readers are left wanting to know- is she going to commit suicide? Will Krogstad kill her? Or is it hypothetical- that she believes

To start off I felt this was a good movie overall. One scene I felt that had stood out was when the black man was showed the pattern on the cloth showing that there was a house he can escape to with his daughter. This scene kind of gave us a hint that many people probably knew about the house but was too scared to escape in fear of being caught. I felt that the black man was very determined to get his daughter away safely no matter what so much that he went in to unknown water just to hide from the slave masters. I was a little confused at the begging because I thought slave work consisted of picking cotton or some other hardship. There was a scene that stood out to me on a personal note. The scene were the black man was hanged and his daughter was watching as this occurred.

In chapter 38, Viola reads a letter to Todd written by his mother before she died. Even though Todd’s mom was already dead, I think Viola gave his mom a voice again by reading the letter. As Todd listened, he said he felt as if his whole world transformed into one made up of his mother. This letter taught both Todd and Viola a lot about each other as well as the history of New World (the planet they live on). Back when Todd’s mother was still alive, she wrote about disagreeing with Aaron’s ideas and preaches, implying that he was an extremist from the beginning and that he might have been trying to take power over New World. She wrote, “We’ve been lucky to have him, tho I must admit of late he’s not been saying things I exactly agree with

The main characters in the scene during this part of the trial is Rachel, Brady, Drummond and Cates. Brady should be played by an old grandfather looking man with a stern and strict demeanor. This is because in this scene he is very interrogative of Rachel and doesn’t break his demeanor even when she is distressed while taking the stand. Drummond should be played by a more middle aged man, short and quiet. I see him as this in the scene because though he is trying to stand up for his client, he keeps being knocked down- either by the judge overruling or Brady counteracting Drummond’s statements. You can tell by the way it describes him slouching that he is feeling defeated in the courtroom. Cates should be played by a young but tired looking man. Young because he is described in the beginning of the book as young, yet he is tired because being berated by the public is going to get to you. Especially because he

In 1727 Captain Kidd buried treasure in a swamp one afternoon. Near this swamp lived a man and his wife named Tom Walker and Mrs. Walker they were both miserable people. So miserable that they would fight each and argue with each other or even decieve each other by cheating to get what they want.

Sunday after church, James tossed the car key to Henry and told him to drive Mother and me home. Henry’s eyes beamed. He’d been able to drive for a while, but Daddy had never let him use the car, and James had done all the driving since Daddy passed. Henry had complained often, but James would shake his head and tell him he wasn’t ready. I wondered what had suddenly changed.

The beginning of the religion side of the novel starts in Chapter Four: “Doubts and Difficulties” in this chapter Mr. Hale tells Margaret why they are relocating their family to Milton: It is all myself. Margaret, I will tell you about it. I will answer any questions this once, but after to-night let us never speak of it again. I can meet the consequences of my painful, miserable doubts; but it is an effort beyond me to speak of what has caused me so much suffering.'

This story uses metaphor to mention lots Christian symbols and the different actions between religion-religious people and non-religious people.

Jesus' decision to physically cast out the moneylenders from the temple stands as one of the most interesting events of his life, because it represents what seems to be the only moment in the Gospel narratives where he becomes visibly angry to the point of physical action. While one could argue that Jesus is frequently (and justifiably) angry with the disciples from time to time, this is the only moment that Jesus' anger moves him to physical force. Although the event is recorded in all four of the Gospels, this study will focus specifically on its rendering in Matthew, because when considered in the context of Matthew's larger narrative, one can see how Jesus' decision to cleanse the temple does not represent an aberration in either his character or theological message, but rather the natural culmination of Jesus' life and works prior to that point, and demonstrates a kind of revolutionary, anti-authoritarian element of Jesus' message of salvation that is all too often overlooked by Christians and critics alike.

McKenzie raises the question, “If you knew that your life would end tonight, what priorities would you be glad you had honored? What would be your regrets?” The primary purpose of the parables told in Luke 12 and 16, as with any other, is to stimulate the hearers to action- to avoid the immoral and the selfish attitudes exemplified by the rich man, and to imitate instead the self-gratifying attitude shown by the shrewd manager. Taken all together, Jesus’ parables were governed by a single purpose- to show, directly or indirectly, what God is and what people may become, and to show these things in such a way that they will reach the human heart if it is possible to reach them at all. Our choice is between two motives: we can hold on to our
