In the video “The Confessions” presented by Frontline, a murder of a women that was committed by one man, quickly resulted into a false gang murder-rape scene committed by eight men. The victim, Michelle Bosko, was seen to be raped and killed in her apartment in Norfolk, Virginia. From the video, it has been proven that seven out of the eight men that confessed were innocent, but somehow they all received an unequal punishment. Because the innocent men admitted to a murder that they didn’t commit out of fear, they were all sentenced to some time in prison. The head detective, Glenn Ford, intimidated the men so much that they either were convinced that they were at the crime scene or they told him every detail that he wanted to hear.

Redemption is defined as atoning for a fault or mistake. Therefore, the idea of a redemptive character emanates from that character committing a perceived wrong and then overcoming the subsequent consequences with his actions. The Crucible, a famous play by Arthur Miller, incorporates this idea of redemption into its plot through the personal journeys of major characters in the Salem Witch Trials. One such character that displays these qualities of redemption is John Proctor. In the beginning of the play Proctor presents himself as a man full of honor and integrity with a loathing towards hypocrisy. Eventually though, his adultery is revealed and he

Conformity is a belief that has conflicted people since the beginning of time. Conformity is the inner feeling that will make you second guess everything you do: should I go to my friends party or should I resist temptation and stay home and study, should I change my beliefs or stand alone in the crowd.

Conformity plays a key role in the play because it shows the reader that everyone is hiding something and it gives a deeper meaning to some of the characters

All eyes on them, some even with tears, and the three thick ropes with a noose on each end. They dangle there waiting… This was happening now, it was really happening. His heart was beating out of his chest and his palms were sweating, as he stepped up, step by step until death itself was palpable. As he looked out into the crowd, he felt the rope being placed around his neck, then as the rough rope got tighter he could feel the relief of his sins. He knew he was doing right by god, he was ready. As they said their prayer in unison, one by one the floor beneath them all was swept away and all that was left was the three bodies hanging silently.

The Crucible was a very emotional book in terms of plot. The plot was about a girl named Abigail who accuses many people of witchcraft. She also accuses Elizabeth Proctor, wife of John Proctor. Abigail uses her power of the court to get to her obsession, John Proctor, by trying to eliminate Elizabeth. She is unsuccessful in getting this done and ends up executing over twelve people including John Proctor. It is great to see all the different kinds of characterization and themes.

It also shows how envy, greed, hate, and jealousy can impact

“History repeats itself, but in such a cunning disguise that we never detect the resemblance until the damage is done.” (Sydney J. Harris). Lies and deceit are known to be misleading, inaccurate, or false but we may not see them in action because of the source. In the Salem Witch Trials, there is a great deal of controversy and uncertainty because of lies for vengeance and a specific hatred of an individual by another. In cases like this there is always two sides. Wrong and right, lawful and unlawful, loyalty and life. Mob mentality and chaos breeds quickly and panic-stricken decisions are made with little thought or solid evidence.

I feel so guilty my mind chaotic as I try to piece together everything that’s happened. Not only am I accountable for a man’s death but a terrible role model for the youngen’s. As much as I should, I feel no remorse towards the death of such a callas man, my father, Bob Ewell. My well-played pretence of a victimised white woman and a seemingly happy Pa and daughter brought Tom Robinson to his terrible demise and my Pa to his end. My guilt eating away at me but not for the horrible drunk I called my father but for the coloured man I wronged and fought against for nothing now for the only thing that was making me is now dead.
