The Crucible

  The Crucible symbolizes Mc.. Carthyism  which took place in the 17^th Century. Arthur Miller was a  man who was against it and that is why the whole storyline is based on witch trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts.

  It takes place us back to the puritans that all migrated to Europe . In which all were very religious and everything was taken seriously with the trials in death and executions. For example, the crucible for the cause of the girls acting odd they assumed the girls were being bewitched by the devil. Then after Abigail was the one who started the witch hunt and manipulating all the girls and she knew she would be blamed for that reason Abigail admitted her sin so she will be remorsed and of course be seen as a victim and only have pity for her. The rest of the girls began to blame others and that was how the witch trials took place and began. Twenty-seven people were being accused, nineteen whom were hanged for example , John proctor and more than one hundred were imprisoned.

  The government they had at that era had high authorities and for that people didn’t have enough rights and many individuals were fearful of being convicted. The whole point is that the characters in the crucible mainly Abigail Williams was taking advantage to lie and blackmail John Proctor so his wife Elizabeth will get killed. No one could be trusted and caused a huge dilemma and for that many innocent people died and that is a big example of what really occurred in the 17^th century.

Margaret Mead

     In the quote written by Margaret Mead she states "the concept of success is a source of confusion."

 In other words, it begins with many Americans , which do not know what they can achieve in. By

doing so it can start off with something unusual or unexpected that people rarely do and not look

 forward to. No matter what it is regardless its something we are proud for others in pursuing it. 

     I agree with Margaret Mead because in any obstacles individuals should always be supportive because its best to hope the good in others. Anyone can be successful and theres so many categories to decide from. My opinion is that it causes motivation then more and more people will want to be involved and do something productive. For example myself I can slack off easily and give up on things i would like to achieve on. Knowing that others just keep going even if they fail till they make it I realize I should do the same and will succeed. Also I like helping others out and maybe give a little advice if i can. That is something important to go out and talk to the community to persuade and give others ideas for their future.

     As Margaret states no matter what profession you do as long as you become stable and successful and it will benefit the people and being outgoing and do the impossible and make it possible.

Stream of Consciousness

   During my winter break I spent most of my days relaxing and fatiguing. I'll admit it 

wasn't exciting whatsoever, especially the fact that I didn't do anything productive the 

entire time. In a way I regret it that way I would've done something instead of 

procrastinating and wasting my days. The good part is I at least hung out with two close 

friends one whom lives in Palmdale and also I don't see very often; luckily I had the 

chance to do so . Christmas was simple not something I look forward to anymore it used to 

be more exciting , but I was with my family and friends so that was good. For New Years 

I spent it with my best friend from Palmdale and her family including my friend who I 

invited . We went to Universal Studios it was actually fun surprisingly . Overall I enjoyed 

my break for the meantime .
