The Crucible Dialectical Journal

“They did not celebrate Christmas, and a holiday from work meant only that they must concentrate even more upon prayer.” Act 1, pg. 4

This paragraph could mean that you cannot fully judge someone. The church is judging all the people that are being accused just because Abagail and the girls said so. They are not fully listening to the facts or the people. The church doesn’t see how the girls are doing this out of jealousy and vengeance. This could be dangerous because innocent people lives could be at risk, because no one if listening to the true facts, they are just listening to lies.

“They were not badly off whilst Morel was in the hospital. There were fourteen shillings a week from the pit, then shillings from the sick club, and five shillings from the Disability Fund.” (pg.87)

1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).

1. They decided to create a union together. 2. The little girl was abducted brutally.

I was riding my horse, in bad conditioned weather, it was raining and snowing with a little bit of ice on the ground. I was just minding my own business then I hear 3 bells the first one is a little loud, the second one was medium loud, and the third one was extremely loud. I started panicking and so I tied my horses reign to the hitch. I started panicking everyone was riding in their wagon trying to get home, but I stopped to see what was going on in then I see John with a musket and I tell everyone to go home and lock their doors because this wasn’t going to end well. I went up to him and asked him, “what are you doing man, what is wrong with you, why are you doing this?” He replied and said, “I don’t know.” Then I said, “what do you mean?” he replied and said, “I don’t know what is wrong with me I think I need to go see a doctor because I don’t feel right at all I don’t even own this

As Logan and I sat at the intersection between Arrowhead Road and Midway, we waited for a text as the cars flashed past us. That was where we sat in the heated truck, waiting for a girl to give us the go ahead to come pick her up. We were jamming out to “Just What I Needed” by the Cars.

Light rose over the hills in the east striking the tin sheet on the Derns’ tent oddly. Light that meant a new day of hard work to match the sadness of the evening last.

“Why does the mailbox have to be so far?” Zuri thinks to herself as she turns the corner of North Broadview Avenue and Red Wood Road. As she rounds the corner she looks up only in time to see a white Lincoln town car barreling towards her and barely manages to jump backwards as it screeches to a stop right where she had been standing a few second ago. A tall, young black man hops out of the car and walks over to Zuri asking “Are you all right?” as he reaches out his hand to help her up. “Yeah I think so.” She replies as she gets up and dust herself off and looks around for her keys. “What you looking for?” the young man asks. “My keys I lost them when I jumped out of the way” she tells the young man as she continues to search for the keys.

Jessime said nothing as he heeded his masters commands. The boy climbed to his feet, a little wobbly at first but he regained his stance. As his master walked to the well, Jessime moved through the front entrance to get to the hog. He prepared the pig for them to eat again by stripping the left over meat and dropping it in the second well bucket that was left by the fire over night. Next the boy proceeded to grab his shirt and unstitch his other shirt sleeve, now he had a sleeveless shirt, perfect for the dry climate. After he carefully removed the thread from his shirt he grabbed a wood splinter and refined it with his dagger making a makeshift needle. Jessime grabbed the hog hide near by and began to diligently sew it into a hide sack. After

The piercing weee-ooo-weee-ooo of the approaching ambulance could be heard in the distance, the sound growing steadily louder, and overcome with emotion, Booker slid to the floor with a sob. For the briefest of moments, he had thought everything would be okay, but the reality was, he had failed his friend yet again. If he’d fought through the dizziness and remained conscious, he could have calmly convinced Tom to go to the hospital instead of trying to trick him. He’d underestimated Tom’s gullibility, and he had paid the ultimate price. The DNA evidence was gone, and there was nothing left to link the seven men to the rape except his and Horshack’s witness account and the video. But the video was of no use because he knew Tom well enough to know even if he tracked down the Keymaster, the young officer would never give permission to use the tape in court. Once again he felt the weight of his guilt pushing down on him and his misery intensified. He was a failure as a cop and a friend, and because of him, the seven Pi Taus would never be brought to justice.

Book 1: A distant family of four, on vacation on a secluded island resort, survive a terrorist attack and have to fight back. Barely escaping the family is thrust into the depths of the dangerous jungles. They cope together and become an even stronger family than before.

Seven of the wagons are identically painted in a brilliant red lacquer and with the edges and spoke wheels painted glossy black.

The sun is a reliable indicator of Meursault’s feelings. It can make him sleepy, angry, happy, or even resentful. This is very important for a man with such a limited range of emotions. It seems as if he uses the sun to justify the feelings he experiences, as well as the murder he commits. The sun plays a key role in not only his feelings but also in his decision-making. He said, “… my nature is such that my physical needs often got in the way of my feelings.” This is very important in seeing just how significant the sun is in relation to Meursault’s actions.

The celebration of New Year’s Eve was supposed to be an exciting one. Everyone was lighting up fireworks, having fun until the real show begun. The fireworks became the ammunition of the battle between the masters of the neighborhood. The usually kind and nice boys turned violent and obscene. They were “cheerful, aggressive dark figures” (lines 16 and 17). It’s ironic how the festivities of New Year’s Eve are in theory, happy and joyous, but ends up terrifying some of the characters and triggering Lila’s dissolving of margins. Lila “begun to feel horror” (line 30), and a “sense of repulsion” took over her (line 35). She began to see breaking down of innocence. Furthermore, Rino, the person Lila loves the most, also began to repulse
