Sinclair Lewis

work by C.S Lewis can expect just that. Lewis was a poet, scholar, and above all, one of the most renowned authors of fantasy literature during the 20th century. He was best known for The Chronicles of Narnia series, and specifically, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. He was a devout Christian and was a defender and teacher of the faith. His faith and life experiences had a massive impact on his works of literature that can be seen clearly by readers. Clive Staples (C.S.) Lewis was born…

The physical setting of The Crucible is in a small town with about 100 or so people. The temporal setting takes place in the early 1600’s with a heavy religious background. The author advances the storyline by breaking the story in acts. The setting is very critical; I don’t think a Crucible type of story could take place in the sunny hills of California in the 21 century. The tone is dark and religious, and the theme is lying, trust, and deceit. The main protagonist of The Crucible…

There are quite a few characters in “The Crucible” and all with different situations and personality, but a man named John Procter is the character is the character that peeks my interests most.

John is a good honest man who is able to see all perspectives of a situation and always sought for a solution that would benefit the people most, he was really looked up to by the…

In The Crucible, some say John Proctor was a hero for giving up his life and some say he was a fool. I say he was a hero, there are many reasons why he was a fool but many reasons why he was also a hero. John was honest, he was brave, he was also understanding. John was honest because he, after signed the paper, admitted that he had nothing to do with witchcraft and didn’t need anyone to hang his name up on the church board. John also was honest to his wife about the affair with Abigail…
