For my essay I’m writing about the similarities and differences of The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, and Three Sovereigns for Sarah, by Victor Pisano. The Crucible came out in 1953, first as a play.

All in all, it is realized that the minuscule military and financial help that the English leaders received from the colonists…

The topic I choose to write about is the slice of life “Innocent or Guilty? A Seventeenth Century Witch Trial” (Experience Humanities). Trying to be proven innocent or guilty in other hands is a big leap…
