In The Crucible, there are many argumentative statements. In one such statement, Reverend Hale basically tells the Proctors, Mr. Corey, and Mr. Nurse that there are crazy things happening right now and everything he’s seen in the court supports that, so they could all stop whoever has been accused and not trust their friends. With this statement, Reverend Hale is trying to convince everyone he is speaking to, that court is not a sham and they are legitimately finding witches.
This statement is an argument because of its use of a premise and a conclusion. The main premise of this statement is the proof that Hale has seen in court. However, he doesn’t elaborate on this proof. This leaves Hale’s premise weak. His statement has a few conclusions
