of the play. In act two while talking to the Judge Elizabeth Proctor states, “It is her dearest hope, I know it. There be a thousand names; why does she call mine? There be a certain danger in calling such a name—I am no Goody Good that sleeps in ditches, nor Osburn, drunk and half-witted. She’d dare not call out such a farmer’s wife but there be monstrous profit in it. She thinks to take my place, John”. (II) In this quote elizabeth is pointing out that Abigail is accusing her for unfair…

Hetch Hetchy Valley with its water roaring. Hard to believe, but it was once recognized as the counterpart of the Yosemite Valley and grabbed the same attention for its natural beauty— cascading waterfalls, lofty mountain cliffs, and serene rivers. John Muir, an ardent advocate for the preservation of the wilderness, described the experience of visiting Hetch Hetchy to be a sheer pleasure: “it [was] a bright day in June; the air [was] drowsy with flies; the pines [swayed] dreamily, and you…

The book of Matthew portrays Jesus as the promised Jewish Messiah and the fulfillment of Old Testament hopes and prophesies. For example, Matthew 1:1 states, “This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son Abraham.” From the beginning, Matthew writes to a Jewish audience and clearly states his purpose to depicts Jesus as the King of the Jews. He continues on to describe Jesus’ entire Jewish genealogy, which clearly portrays Jesus as Christ of the Jews. Additionally, in…

isn’t even known if the starving man actually survives. The final act and image in the novel is also a bit out there, with Rose of Sharon suckling this grown man to keep him alive.

Perhaps some of the best writing and classics leaves endings open to interpretation. However, there are clear messages…

Men, women, and children all have hopes and dreams. People set unattainable goals in which they hope to accomplish even though their hope of completing this goal can disappear in a matter of seconds. When we think about how tenuous dreams can be, we think about how much agony we go through when our dreams are shattered. Dreams are extremely delicate and we aspire to achieve them, even though they may be unattainable. In the tragic novella Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, Lennie, one of the…

When most people wake up they hope something good will fall upon them, but most don’t think of the burden that might lurk behind the blessing. This statement could be used as the moral for John Steinbeck’s book The Pearl. The Pearl is a story of a fisherman named Kino whom found a pearl beyond price and doesn’t at the moment understand the dangers that might result from it. As mentioned earlier I believe John Steinbeck paints a very noticeable moral. Kino is a family man that wants nothing but…

John’s Background John was called by Jesus when he was with his brother James on the shores of Galilee. This calling occurred early in Jesus’ Ministry (John Exiled, 2013). The brothers were fishermen by trade, and preparing to cast their nets when Jesus called them. The story is recorded in Matthew 4, and reports that after the Lord’s call, they immediately left their nets and their father, and went and followed Him (Holy Bible, NIV, 2016). We are not certain if John heard about Jesus…

Arthur Miller introduces John Proctor after the crisis including Betty and the girls at Reverend Parris’ house. The initial description introduces Proctor as an untraditional protagonist with bad moral values. He is set out as a man of the church, but “...a sinner…
