Abby May

when Betty was laid unresponsive on the bed after a night of witchcraft between all of the girl,s Mary expresses to Abigail "Abby, we've got to tell. Witchery's a hangin' error, a hangin' like they done in Boston two years ago! We must tell the truth, Abby! You'll only be whipped for dancin', and the other things!" (Miller 18). Unfortunately with a few words spoken by Abby, Mary’s idea of confessing is soon…

In the play, two major characters are Reverend Hale, an “expert on witches” sent to Salem for investigation, and John Proctor, a man known for his leadership and hard work. Proctor and Hale, other than both being Puritans, are alike in their actions and motives…

Both parties, McCarthy and the girls in Salem, accused people to make themselves look better to others and gain respect. As John Proctor said “I am only wondering how I may prove what she told me, Elizabeth. If the girls a saint now, I think it not easy to prove she’s a fraud, and the town gone so silly” (The Crucible, p. 53).

The Lizzie Borden verdict was incorrect because Lizzie Borden was the only one home at the time of the murders, and her behavior before and after this tragic loss made her the only reasonable suspect. Lizzie Borden was the only other person who was in the house at…

stronger than conventional treatments. The research provided to us examines “genes that encode docking ports on a type of nerve cell activated by the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate” (Sodhi). Depression does not control all of our brain, although it may seem like it, it only occupies the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. With this specific information, we can produce medicine for depression that treats faster, and come up with ways of treatment that target this specific part of the…

Abby and I got out of our bed to see what the commotion was all about, as I went to the deck there were chunks of ice in the boat, people were saying we hit an iceberg.
