Crucible (Kevin)

I believe that the author Arthur Miller surrounded the theme of the crucible and the name of the book by the definition of, a severe test or trial, because all throughout the book it gives evidence that the witch trials was a severe test of strength and faith in your religion. The characters in the book were put through accusations and they watched as their town was tearing apart due to hysteria and strict puritan rules. One of the major indicators of that the book is based on this definition is the word “trials”. Characters were incarcerated and were put on trial to confess their bids with the devil or their loyalty to god and their religion.  People were forced to lie in order to save their life because if they didn’t confess they would be hung in the middle of the town where everyone could see but if they do they will be known as a liar. The arise of so-called “witchcraft” changed the town completely. People who know each other began accusing each other of things that don’t even exist to save your own life and when you have to do that the situation has to be very serious

Family (Jose)

-->

People Care When you do something stupid but then some peoples don’t care cause they just don’t care. But if it was somebody that I know and that she doing something stupid then yeah I would care a lot because she could be my friend or one of my family and I wouldn’t let her go do whatever she wants cause its bad. For a example if she go prostitute In the midnights like I would care a lot because she my friend or she could be one of my family but yeah I would care and try to talk to her to leave all the crap and have a better feature cause peoples are going to be noisy if she be prostituted her self and I don’t think its right to be doing that stuff because it looks bad if girls are being a hoe so yeah I would care for those people’s that are doing those stuff especially for girls cause to be honest it look’s really bad for being a hoe and just to get some money but yeah that’s my opinion for that I would care a lot  of the person.

The Theme of The Crucible (Vanessa)

The theme of The Crucible is that it might be better to die with integrity than to compromise your faith, honor, and decency in order to live. In my opinion I think it’s better to die telling the truth than to live being a liar. I think that John’s decision in The Crucible, dying standing up for what he believed was a good decision. I am happy that he chose to tell the truth rather than lie. I know I would of done the same thing if I was in his place. If I had to chose between lies and live than die and say the truth I think I would tell the truth. In my opinion I would not like to live and be a liar. The truth always comes out, I wouldn’t like for my family and friends to know me as that girl who lied or the imposter. If I had to die saying the truth I would be okay with it because I would die with a good reputation and dignity. I know it would hurt my mom to lose her daughter but I think it would hurt her more to know that she was a layer. 

Theme of the Crucible (Daleshawn)

One of the themes of the Crucible is that it is better to die with your honor, instead of compromising your faith, honor, and decency in order to live. If I were to live without my dignity I would feel terrible. The reason why I would feel terrible is that I would not have respect for myself for what I did or what I said to live. Some of the reasons why I would die is because it would make me look and feel like a better person, my name will be well respected and remembered, and a lot of people will think good things about me. If I die for my honor it would make me happy because I believe that I did the right thing. Another reason I would be happy is that a lot of people will respect me for doing the right thing for the right cause and will remember me as a good person. I do not think that I could live without my honor because I think that other people will think I’m an non trust worthy person, disrespectful, and other things like that. I also would not have faith in myself to do well, do the right thing, be respectful, and do well in school. The main reason why I would die is that I believe it is the right thing to die for your honor, respect, dignity, integrity, and faith and other things like that. So if I had a choice out of living without honor or die with my honor, my choice would be to die with my honor.

The Meaning Of Crucible (Alberto)

The meaning of crucible is a container made of a substance that can resist great heat, for melting, and fusing metals, etc.  This meaning would describe the story because I think that the story is mainly talking about the how people are trying to kill the witches because they think that they are daughters of the devil. The story also talks about how the witches blamed others so they can stay alive. I think that in the story is basically saying that they are really strong and nothing can destroy them. In the book that’s how the story started by talking about how the witches were really strong because they are a team and how good they work together, and when you’re together no one can defeat you. In the book the girls were made into witches because of tituba, he was the one who created them. The story also describes how difficult is to get rid of the witches because they are all in a group and there really strong together. The only thing that the witches have in common was that they were all created by tituba. This definition helps the story a lot because it tells everything that happens to the girls.
