The Crucible Act 5

In Act II, we see quite a bit going on, and it seems to be the climax of the story. We see Torvald belittle women once again when he says " is it to get about now that the new manager has changed his mind at his wife's bidding." We learn that Torvald expedited Krogstad's dismissal, and thus we see Nora acting really out of sorts as she tries harder and harder to maker sure Torvald never learns her secret- even going as far as to pretend she has no clue how to do the Tarantella to stop Torvald from reading the letter that Krogstad left. Finally, the Act leaves us with Nora stating "Thirty-One" hours to live- so us as readers are left wanting to know- is she going to commit suicide? Will Krogstad kill her? Or is it hypothetical- that she believes

In chapters 14-16 it was very amousianal for the march family, they had a lot of cause and effects especially of the civil war that is occurring right now.In the first chapter Marme has to go to the washington hospital because there dad got sick in the Civil War.But before she went she didn't have enough money to take the trip so Jo cut all her hair to get 25$ so Marmee could go.When she left it caused them to be on there own but they were not that prepared.Not long before they left Beth got sick with the scarlet fever.That caused Amy to leave to her aunt because they did not know if she was immune to it.Eventually Marmee came back to help Beth when she did she got better.But Amy still had to stay at there aunt until it was fully gone. These

To start off I felt this was a good movie overall. One scene I felt that had stood out was when the black man was showed the pattern on the cloth showing that there was a house he can escape to with his daughter. This scene kind of gave us a hint that many people probably knew about the house but was too scared to escape in fear of being caught. I felt that the black man was very determined to get his daughter away safely no matter what so much that he went in to unknown water just to hide from the slave masters. I was a little confused at the begging because I thought slave work consisted of picking cotton or some other hardship. There was a scene that stood out to me on a personal note. The scene were the black man was hanged and his daughter was watching as this occurred.

Chapters 13-18 Lenina’s crush for John is increasing and it is slowly becoming uncontrollable for her. Her crush on John comes to the point that she feels obligated to go ask John out (Huxley 189) After the date is over Lenina tries to force John to have a sexual relationship with her. She does not succeed at getting his attention. John then lashes out at Lenina for trying to do something he did not want to do (Huxley 194). Shortly after John receives a phone call from the hospital. It is about his mother declining health. So, John rushes to the hospital to visit with his mother (Huxley 195-201) When he first arrives the nurses are shocked to see that someone wants to visit a person dying, but they allow it anyway. Then he tries to wake his mother up by shaking her, but was unsuccessful at it, because his mother died shortly after (Huxley 207).

During his trial, the Yankee makes a false claim that the man he assaulted struck him first, and that he was only trying to defend himself. When he returned to his quarters, he found his master's body dead on the floor. He soon found out that the king had escaped, and so his master began beating the other slaves and they revolted against him. All the slaves were sentenced to death, and in an effort to save himself and the king, the Yankee contacted Clarence. Clarence then sent a rescue team to London.

Act 3 takes place in the church, which had been turned into a courtroom for the witch trials. Mary testified that they were only pretending to be afflicted by the witchcraft. Proctor was questioned about his religious beliefs. Judge Danforth arrested Giles for not giving him the name of the man who gave him information on the witchcraft, because he didn’t want to give away Putnam. Abigail was then sent on trial, and denied Mary’s testimony. The girls accused Mary of bewitching them with a cold wind and that she was responsible of the witchcraft. When Abigail accused Mary, Proctor called Abigail a whore and confessed his affair with her. He explained that Elizabeth fired her when she discovered it. He claimed that Abigail wanted Elizabeth to

In chapter 38, Viola reads a letter to Todd written by his mother before she died. Even though Todd’s mom was already dead, I think Viola gave his mom a voice again by reading the letter. As Todd listened, he said he felt as if his whole world transformed into one made up of his mother. This letter taught both Todd and Viola a lot about each other as well as the history of New World (the planet they live on). Back when Todd’s mother was still alive, she wrote about disagreeing with Aaron’s ideas and preaches, implying that he was an extremist from the beginning and that he might have been trying to take power over New World. She wrote, “We’ve been lucky to have him, tho I must admit of late he’s not been saying things I exactly agree with

I feel that extremism is dangerous because it can lead to intolerance, lying and hurting others.

They had no life; they were not allowed to have a life. They were isolated from not only the white race but also their own people. Mr. Michael Reed was one of those slave owners that treated his slaves that they were nothing more than a piece of property. In his files, Mr. Reed had a ledger of daily activities. This ledger contained an hourly and daily record of everything his slaves would do. In some of his recordings, Mr. Reed would write down very strange things for what activity his slaves were doing. He would make mention when they were sick, of course, so he could know how many hours they worked, but many of his recordings were not appropriate for him to be

Scene 1 Narrator: Once upon a future, in the year a brother and sister were watching TV and was enjoying a snack. During the middle of the show, an art show aired. “Why do they still have these?”

Elizabeth is thrown back by the all these questions. She tells Mrs. Clara

During Act 2, many occurrences happened. One in particular took my attention with a bit more force than some of the other content. According to the text, “… But not Sarah Good. For Sarah Good confessed, y’see. I hear a voice, a screamin’ voice, and it were my voice-and at all at once I remembered everything she done to me” (Miller 60)! This quote shows that this woman, Sarah Good, did something to Mary Warren that made her traumatized and afraid. According to the text, “… ‘Sarah Good,’ says he, ‘what curse did you mumble that this girl must fall sick after turning you away’” (Miller 61)? This quote demonstrates the acts Sarah did to Mary. I connected to this scene by remembering an old show that recently aired called Merlin.

Parris finds out about it. He says, "And what shall I say to them? That my

The Crucible by Arthur Miller is an astounding playwright that created a fictionalized premise of the events from the Salem Witch Trials. It helped aid the readers into gaining a better understanding of the events that took place in Salem. But while writing The Crucible, Miller took out a scene from Act 2 that he most likely thought would not go well with the rest of the scene or book as a whole. With taking out this scene, Miller took out points that were not initially needed. Although Act 2 Scene 2 was intended to be in The Crucible, the scene went against the idea that Arthur Miller initially had in mind for the characters and story.

In the crucible there has been a character and or characters that were afraid to admit they were wrong. In certain situations I have gone through the same situation before, so I can relate to that. First, with the crucible, Rev. John Hale would be afraid to admit that he was wrong. John Hale is a witch expert from Beverly, he comes to Salem to check out what is going on as far as witchcraft. He thinks he knows everything and is very arrogant about it. He has not seen anything like this before. Things are happening in Salem such as people going into a coma, and people going against each other.
