I have two younger sisters named Carolina and Abigail. Abigail is 9 years old and Carolina is 10 years old and like all siblings, they occasionally fight. Usually, for silly reasons such as: stealing food or toys, not helping each other clean or sleep, or because one hit the other one. About a year or two ago, I walked into the kitchen and found Carolina hands pressed up against her chest and Abigail rubbing her leg. I asked, ‘What happened?” Carolina answered, “ Abigail gave me a purple nurple!” Abigail responded,”Carolina kicked me in the leg!” Immediately, I asked who hit first? Then Carolina yelled, “Abigail!” and Abigail retaliated with a clean crotch shot. Carolina groan, “OH! My testes!” I start laughing and assure her she doesn’t have

The central character for The Crucible could be Abigail. Abigail is characterized as being a fabricator with destructive tendencies. Though she refuses to admit her name has been tainted in the town, Abigail knows of her carnage in the village has ruined it for good. Abigail is accused of witchcraft in the beginning of the act and therefore attempting to lie her way through it, she ends up admitting it. But alternately of taking the punishment, she blames someone else for pressuring her into it. The quote “Don’t lie! She comes to me while I sleep; she’s always making me dream corruptions!” (Miller 14) shows that Abby had admitted dreaming and doing corrupt things, but puts the blame on others. At the end of the act, the blame switches from

There have been heroes like Frederick Douglass who has helped make the United States into a better place. Also we have had many villains like Abigail Williams who is a deceptive and vengeance-seeking person. Lastly we have the victim, Desdemona who is sweet and innocent, but not in the eyes of her lover. All of these people have big roles in each of the readings we have looked at.
I wake up and notice that Castiel isn't in bed with me. I check the digital clock on the nightstand. It's around nine-thirty. I slide my legs onto the floor and stand up. I wonder what Castiel's doing.
This story is relatable for anyone with siblings that has had any sort of sibling rivalry. This is a light, kind hearted rivalry, however, it still describes the competition between the two sisters as many of us have experienced.
The development period in which the siblings are in can have a major role on how and why the fighting occurs. (Living)
When you have a pair of siblings or more under one single roof, it is quite common for a house to not to be in peace. Siblings are born to bicker, fight, scream, and tease each other irrespective of the love they have hidden for each other. They consider each other as rivals and constantly try to pull down the other.
In The Crucible Abigail Williams is most considered the antagonist and the one who most deserves a punishment. She lied, threatened many other girls along with their lives and sent many people to their graves due to her influence in the community. Can she be considered a victim though and if she can be, is she really? Although it may seem black and white in whether she is a victim or not, people may find themselves seeing a grey area due to her history in life and the influences around her.

Much thought went into Arthur Miller changing the age and other details of Abigail Williams to make the story. She was a young child who began to get fits and be accused of witchcraft. In the book, The Crucible, there are things added like her affair with John Proctor and her age being seventeen instead of eleven or twelve.
In 1692, most people in Salem believed in witches, but they never thought that they would be accused. The accusations made, caused many people’s deaths and others imprisonment. Over 200 people had been accused of practicing witchcraft. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the character Abigail Williams, profligate, is the one to blame for the deaths of these people. With this in mind she has seen some horrible things including her parents being killed. Unstable, Abigail needs psychiatric help.
Born to be females and suppressed by male dominance, it is not a surprise that many wanted attention, in the late 1600s even if it depended on spreading lies, hysteria, and sending innocents to their deaths. The play The Crucible by Arthur Miller presents this idea through a particular character named Abigail Williams, whose lies fueled the mass hysteria known as the Salem Witch Trials. This event connected to the Red Scare in the years of 1950 was a time of corruption and mass hysteria spreading through a community resulting in deaths and loss in people's reputations. Abigail Williams had particular characteristic that she used to fulfill her goal of being fancied by John Proctor such as, being demanding, persistent, and deceptive. Arthur Miller presents these characteristics through dialogues and action that is played by Abigail, such as her threatening her friends or pursuing something that she knows she cannot obtain. Abigail William is described to have many characteristics, but her true personality of being determined, misleading, and demanding is shown through dialogues and actions.
The crucible is filled with so much tragedy but the person to blame for the outcome of the story would have to be Abigail Williams. The reason why she is to blame is because she made the other girls lie. The way she had got the other girls to lie was threatening that if any of them had told the truth about what had happen in the woods she would go to them late at night and harm them. Throughout the story Abigail is the mastermind I guess because she would say something then the girls would follow right after her. To me it was mostly like during the book the girls were playing follow the leader. Then Abigail had manipulated people into believing that there was witchcraft involved on that night. This had caused a big problem because if witchcraft was involved the people that were accused of witchcraft would get hanged. The reason why they would get hanged is because if you are associated with it you are associated with the devil. Before Abigail and the others started accusing people of witchcraft she had made a mistake in telling John proctor that the night the girls and Tituba were out in the woods there was no witchcraft involved. This shows that She had contradicted herself because she said that there was no witchcraft involved to John but then saying there was to everyone else.
Sibling rivalry is practically common to parents with more than one kid. Not just exclusive to young kids, sibling rivalry even extends out even to kids' adulthood.
