My Favorite Presentation.

After watching the presentations today, which one was your favorite? Why?

How do you think your Crucible Project turned out? What could you improve on for next time?

After viewing most of the presentations, I'd have to say that my favorite presentation would have to be Irving, Mailei, Cindy and Rahel's presentation.  Their keynote had good information on the characters and they analyzed them well.  I also liked how Mailei compared Puritan girls back in the day to the girls from this generation.  It added humor to the keynote.  My Crucible project turned out pretty good.  We work really hard on it and and I made it look pleasing to the eye.  I had a fun time working on this project.

Crazy in Love.

The Puritans wanted a fresh start,

to purify themselves;

Moved to America in the olden days.

The Crucible is a play,

about misunderstanding and crazy love.

About a girl and a man.

One fighting for love,

One fighting for his life.

Abigail Williams was just seventeen;

obsessed with love and crazy in the mind.

Some say she's a whore,

But she just ignores

Dancing in the woods with her kin

People would think this is a sin.

John Proctor was a farmer minding his own business.

Tempted by lust,

seduced by sin.

He eventually gave in.

Abigail and John had an affair.

He denies it while she threatens.

She starts to go crazy in the brain.

Trying to frame everyone in her way.

Elizabeth one of the victims, 

And John Proctor's wife.

Abigail "...thinks to dance with [John] on [his] wife’s grave!"

She is evil, manipulative and conniving.

Makes everyone believe her lies.

Her love, John Proctor becomes a victim in this trail.

Along with nineteen other people.


Seeing spirits and the devil is her game.
Accusing other people with their names.
Look, a spirit!
Look, the devil!


Some might say Abigail's reasons are just.
That she is so young.
This lead to people being hung.


Her guilt she saved to the very end.
Stopping only when her love dies.
Moving to a new place,
And making a fresh start.


Some say she became a whore.
Working the streets.
But it's ambiguous whether she did,
Or didn't.


All those lives lost in a lie.
It was like a fire,
which grew and grew,
Until it consumed.

Our Choices.

"Most of us do not have the choices we think we have. We are responsible for our behavior, but men don't have limitless choices. Given our characters, maybe fewer choices than we think."-Arthur Miller 
Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Free write about it.

I've grown up all my life in the United States.  And we've been told that we are born free, but I think that that's true to an extent.  Technically we can do whatever we want but most of us think about the consequences and that stops us from pursuing own hopes and dreams.  The United States say we are free yet we have a set of rules to follow.  Contradicting? Maybe.
