“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” ( Dr. Seuss) “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” (Psalm 23:4) “God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.” (William Shakespeare) These quotes, found throughout many different time periods of history, all say the same: “Be who you are and don’t let anything change that.” These are great words to live by, but, in time of weakness, does one stay true? Can even the good be twisted? This is a theme that is represented throughout The Crucible many times. Characters such as Elizabeth Proctor, John Proctor, and Reverend Hale had good intentions

The carriage clattered over the rough road, and there were moments when Abigail felt the conveyance tilt upon its wheels, sending her toward the side with her mother's scant weight pressing upon her in grim reminder of how little the frail, ill woman could withstand the rigors of such a journey. Her fingers in Abigail's hand were cold, hardly more than winter twigs. She could feel the fear inside with them, an invisible fog that sapped heat and set her teeth to chattering, despite the warmth of the air.

Book Two is trying to emphasize three important points that God wants us to understand. First, Book two wants individuals to know that God wants all men to be saved and for all men to believe in him and now and understand that God is real. Secound, important point that is made in this passage is individuals need to not have doubt in God only knowledge and belief in God and in the choices that he makes. Also, individuals need to not be selfish and only look out for themselves but these individusasl need to follow Gods wants and needs that he has for us. Third, important aspect of this passage is individuals need to not judge God and the choices he makes for us. Individuals need to trust in God’s decisions and most importantly have faith in God because God makes choices for a reason. We may not understand why he makes the choices he makes for us but sometimes God makes certain things happen in order to lead us down a different path that we ourselves did not think of but God knows it is a good choice for us.

Aunt Reed, takes him to a special church meeting when he is twelve, “to bring the young lambs to the fold.” The singing, preaching and praying in the crowded church makes for a highly charged religious environment. All the children who “have not yet been brought to Jesus” are made to sit in the front row so that the rest of the congregation can pray for them. Young Hughes and another little boy, Westley, are left after all the other children get saved. Westley eventually decides to get saved because he is tired of sitting at the center of attention. Hughes takes a while longer because he expects to physically see Jesus – to see a light and feel something inside, just like Aunt Reed had described to him. Nothing happens. The pressure on Hughes to get saved intensifies as the preacher and his aunt urge him on. He realizes that he is holding up the whole service and feels ashamed of himself. He conforms to mob psychology by pretending to go to Jesus even though he is convinced that the other children are lying about it.

15) The intensity of such a dramatic scene is impeccably encapsulated by sensory, a reaffirmation of societal roles, and ultimate justification before Dana succumbs to her fear. In context, Rufus had just sexually approached a frightened Dana, prompting her to rush to the attic and get a knife. Rufus followed her to apologize, then proceeded to wrap his arm around her, when Dana suddenly contemplated loving him. “[She] could feel the knife in [her] hand, still slippery with perspiration.”— a major denotation of nervousness, as sweat glands moisten hands under such circumstances. Then her mind raced toward the other end of not stabbing him, as “A slave was a slave. Anything could be done to her. And Rufus was Rufus— erratic, alternately

In chapter 5 the tone is an important part of the chapter and the whole story overall, it’s something that makes the story interesting and something that should be focused on throughout the story.

At the beginning of senior year, rich, handsome, black hair, blue eyes, high school quarterback Jared Rider wakes up angry at the memory of catching his girlfriend cheating on him the night before, but everything in his world is about to become more severe when he is sent to fetch oranges at the old Victorian mansion across the street.

Ever since 1692 in the city of Salem, Massachusetts where the idea of “witch-hunts” originated, several groups across the world have been persecuted because of their race, religion, ethnicity, or other unsupported reasons. In Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, the witch-hunts that took place during Puritan times are specifically targeted and serve as the focus point throughout the course of the story. Aside from the main plot points of the play, Miller also comments on a period in the 1950s during the Cold War when people who were thought to have been communists were persecuted against and deemed guilty without substantial evidence. These so-called “witch-hunts” stemmed from periods of fear and racism, and people were victimized with no way to prove themselves. Based on the outcome of multiple historical events throughout the course of history, “witch-hunts” are not justified or needed to achieve justice or establish order in society. One prime example of a historical “witch-hunt” is the Negro Holocaust, a period in the late 1800s and early 1900s where African Americans were lynched by white people based on their skin color.
