Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Sacagawea, me, and others were sent by Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. Our expedition into the Louisiana Territory was not only to explore but record information about the land and find the source of the Missouri-northwest passage- make peace with the Indians as well. This expedition started in 1804 and ended in 1806 which is two and a half or twenty eight months. The expedition was from St.Louis , Missouri to the Pacific…

Arthur Miller’s message about human motivation in the crucible is very apparent in The Crucible. Throughout the entirety of the story the characters either provide a false representation of their true self, not to mention the characters are bluntly shown in the aspect of their integrity in which a fellow Salem resident is accused of Witchcraft under false pretense. Each individual in the story is propelled by their own personal gain. Whether it be based upon saving your life by falsely…

John Hale: A Tragic Hero Arthur Miller’s The Crucible symbolises the events that took place in the 1950s known as the, “Red Scare”. This event is what inspired Miller to write The Crucible. In a creative fashion, this was Miller’s way to criticize the paranoia surrounding the overly conservative American government. Using his greatest weapon, the pen, Miller was able to compose the historical character, John Proctor, in the spitting image of Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero (Posses a…

It all started in a small Town called Salem, Massachusetts where many were accused of practicing witchcraft in 1692 which lead to Arthur Miller’s writing of The Crucible. It is simply about a group of girls who begin to accuse several different people of witchcraft in which they are also able to convince the leaders of the community that the Devil is present in Salem. This leads to the killing of nineteen innocent people and one dog. This is very similar to the persecution of communist in the…

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are very well-known for for their cross-country journey, where they met and traveled with Sacagawea, a native American woman from the Shoshone tribe. She acted as a translator and guide for the expedition. They made countless great discoveries, including many native tribes, not all of which were friendly. The group was composed of not just Lewis and Clark, but rather 31 members. Each member had their own unique specialty, such as woodworking or mapmaking, Lewis…

The spring of 1823 would bring a new wave of missionaries to include, William Richards, his wife, and Charles Stewart, with his wife Harriet, and their African companion Betsey Stockton from the Second Company in Boston. These missionaries, along with many westerners, were weary of the Native Hawaiians as viewed in the journal of Betsey Stockton. An excerpt from the first interaction with the natives on April 24, 1823, defined the Hawaiian men who greeted the ship as “half man and half…

Sacagawea Was Sacagawea an important member of Lewis and Clark’s discovery team? Without her, Lewis and Clark might have gotten lost and died. Lewis and Clark just led the discovery team. Some people believe she isn’t as important as she really was. I highly disagree though, she was very important to the team of discovery. First, she knew the land very well. “She began to recognize the mountains in the distance.” If she didn’t recognize them, that would have been a sure sign that they were…

“Be careful who you trust, the devil was once an angel.” The Crucible, by Arthur Miller talks about how witchcraft was before. As well as how many people were accused by being a witch. Especially women because they thought that women had too much time for themselves that they decided to do or start something dangerous. In The Crucible, the characters of Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail Williams can be compared and contrasted through Witchcraft, Love, and Lies. To begin with, Elizabeth was…

Who Is The Blame? In Arthur miller’s The Crucible, Abigail Williams was the cause of the Salem Witch Trials. Took place at Salem village, Massachusetts in 1692, the guilt of this is Abigail Williams and she is eighteen years old, lived with her uncle and she had an affair with John Proctor. In Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, miller demonstrate that is was Abigail flaws – Dishonest, jealously, and lust that led him to be most responsible for the tragedy of the witch-hunt in Salem. That…

The character I chose to do my essay on is Rev. Parris. He was the Reverend of Salem and was one of the first people to start blaming witchcraft. He is untrustworthy, mischievous, and a liar. Those three things will be shown and conveyed by the end of the story. In The Crucible, Rev. Parris lies about a lot of things which is to help him and to help others. One example of this is, “And what shall I say to them? That my daughter and my niece I discovered dancing like heathen in the…
