Abigail's Short Story

Decent Essays
It was a warm day in May, the sun shining and a cool breeze blowing. Abigail was sitting on the beach just thinking what it would be like to have friends. She was a girl that grew up not having friends and she still didn’t have any. She was shy and to herself. She also loved to read.

She was lying on the beach, reading her book. She didn’t notice that she had fallen asleep. She was awakening by a touch on her arm that startled her. When she opened her eyes she noticed a man who had woke her up. He wanted to let her know that the tide was coming in and if she didn’t get up, she was soon being in the ocean. She got up and thanked him and was starting to leave when he asked her to stay and talk. He told her that he was there

    In most modern day stories, the “villains” are becoming more sympathetic characters that win over our hearts, making the readers think that they were never evil to start with. For example, Winnie Holzman’s book Wicked is from the perspective of the “Wicked Witch of the West” about how she was never evil, it was just how “Good Witch” betrayed the “Wicked Witch of the West” as a way to fame. I believe that Arthur Miller, author of The Crucible, was ahead of his time for this literary movement. Abigail Williams is the center of this plot, creating drama and lies. And because of that, many believe she is just a “whore” and a murderess.…

I was going to save my social tolerance for her wedding in half a week, but I didn’t want to disappoint her. So I gave in to her request, only to be left a short time later.…

    The word “crucible” is defined as a severe test or trial, OR a vessel that can withstand intense heat and is used for melting substances. However, it’s best to describe it using the word “and”, rather than the word “or” in the means of the characters in the book. The word “crucible” is defined as a severe test and trial, AND a vessel that can withstand intense heat and is used for melting substances. In “The Crucible”, two characters really stood out that either showed the qualities of a crucible, or was a complete opposite. Abigail Williams displayed the characteristics of a crucible as a noun when she wouldn’t succumb to the pressure opponents were giving her.…

    Gender, age, and status were just a few of the things that played a role in the tough life of Abigail Williams; a life that though unknowingly, fostered a continued growth of hatred and anger inside of her.

What may have started as a small lover 's quarrel between her, Proctor, and Elizabeth quickly grew to massive proportions with the witch trials. And Abigail, being as perceptive as she was, did not hesitate to seize the day. Using vivid imagery, religious appeals, repetition, and theatrics; Abigail turns the trials into her stepping stone to begin her onslaught of vengeance and accusation.…

    I find that anytime spent indoors is time wasted.

There’s nowhere to go and no one to meet, everyone here already knows everyone.…
