I have heard it said that Ananias would not have been asked this question if he was a lost sinner, as Peter would have known that it is the way of the ungodly to not tell the truth. I find it at least reasonable to believe he was saved but Satan filled his heart to lie.…

In this dramatic retelling of the Salem trials, Miller ensnares his reader with stories of adultery, betrayal, and material greed. His intention, however, is not to entertain with operatic drama. This play is a cautionary tale about finger pointing and its potentially fatal consequences.…

    Racism adds a dimension to the grandmother that makes the reader question her character further. Her racism manifests itself when she calls a black adolescent a "cute little pickaninny" (O 'Connor 132). “Pickaninny” is a term used to describe a very dark-skinned African American child; its literal meaning is often offensive because it caricatures those children as animals.
