“The greatest conflicts are not between two people, but between one person and himself” (Garth Brooks). The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a story based on the events of the Salem Witch Trials. In Salem, people are being accused of witchcraft, and most of the time hung to death if found guilty. If people confess to being a witch, they are pardoned and able to become a member of society again. John Proctor has many conflicts with people throughout this story, whether it is with his wife Elizabeth,…

For several reasons the minimum wage for all states should be raised. The minimum wage law exists to protect Americans against unfair pay rates. If the rate they receive cant even put food on a family 's table, then the wage may need to be raised. Abby Sewell quotes Ms. Flores "employee who earns $9 an hour and…

her own childhood with her brother, father, and future author Truman Capote” (Werlock). For instance, the character Atticus was inspired by her own father, who was a lawyer. Likewise, her mother might have slightly inspired Aunt Alexandra. “Mrs. Lee may have inspired Aunt Alexandra, whom Scout describes in To Kill a Mockingbird as ‘analogous to Mount Everest … cold and there.’” (Ashburn). Her mother suffered from poor health and experienced severe mood swings and unpredictable behavior. Aunt…

In the play The Crucible, John Proctor is the unfortunate saint in light of the fact that despite the fact that he has numerous respectable and outstanding qualities,he is bound to disaster as a result of his own imperfections.

“Be remembered!” echoes through my mind every time I get up to bat. From Tee Ball to now, softball has made a huge impact on my life. Ever since I was 5 years old, I have been playing the game that I love the most. Imagine standing on a softball field expected to perform at the age of 5. Even though the butterflies in my stomach were fixing to start a war, nothing was going to stop me from stepping on that field to play my first tee ball game as a Little Tiger. Fans cheered, but what I…

Crucible there were seven girls who lied about being witches, everybody believe them because they were teenagers and they had the “symptoms” of it. Also the girls were dancing in the woods,and one was naked speaking in different language. Miller asked Abby what did you do in the woods (Miller, 1952, p 142) “Uncle, we did dance; let you tell them I Confessed it—and I’ll be whipped if I must be. But They’re speakin’ of witchcraft.

This leads me back to a phrase that the three of us would always shout back and forth to each other each night, while going home, and that phrase was “Bay, Abby, and Jessie, best friends forever!” That phrase has held true to its meaning up until this day, and that is a message that I am trying to get across here, and that message is that true friendship will never cease no matter what direction we go…

decency this person had to accuse these people were as low as the decency of some of these accusers. “ A victim in the end of his own recklessness” (Joseph Mccarthy). This quote about the red scare shows that even though some people even though they may not have known any communist would accuse these people to get the attention off of them. In some cases many people got killed for being accused of communism even if they had no clue what communism was or is, and not only did this rumor affect…
