Now that you have read two excerpts from Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, consider the time period, the shocking accusations made t

owards innocent people, and the horrible events that led to the deaths of those innocent people.
Writing Task

Choose one of the following writing prompts to answer in a well developed paragraph of at least 7 to 10 sentences. Your response should be based on the play The Crucible and the time period in which it was written.


John Proctor admits to the court that he has committed adultery with Abigail Williams. Abigail is the ring leader in the town of Salem for a group of girls who accuse innocent people of witchcraft to hide their own guilt. Abigail is hoping that by accusing Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft and having her locked up in jail, Abigail will be able to take Elizabeth’s place as John Proctor’s wife. Consider the position John Proctor takes by standing in front of the court admitting to his crime of adultery, knowing he will be jailed for the crime. Why would he admit to this crime even though the consequences during this time period would be a jail sentence? The court wants Elizabeth Proctor to plead with John to admit guilt to witchcraft, but he refuses. Does admitting to adultery mean admitting to a lesser crime than witchcraft?


Reverend Hale is first invited to Salem by Reverend Parris because Parris's daughter, Betty, has become sick and will not wake up. Reverend Hale arrives in Salem as an expert in witchcraft and is welcomed by some of the townspeople. He begins to examine the villagers, looking for signs of witchcraft. Eventually judges are called to the town to lead the trials of those accused. At one point in the story, Reverend Hale quits the court and leaves the town of Salem. He returns when he hears of the upcoming execution of John Proctor. Hale pleads with Elizabeth Proctor to go to her husband, John, and beg him to admit he is guilty of witchcraft to help save his life. Why has Reverend Hale changed his mind about wanting people to admit to witchcraft even when innocent to save their lives?

Commiseration means sympathy or compassion for the suffering of others. In the myth "Hiawatha: the Unifier," commiseration is the motivation behind Hiawatha's actions. It is due to his sympathy for human beings that he comes to earth from Heavens. He rescues people from monsters and teaches them different skills so that they are able to survive on their own.

Explain the relationship between the 5th and 6th amendment and miranda v. Arizona .Cite evidence from the text in your response.
julsineya [31]
I only know a little bit about it, so the fifth amendment is the right to remain silent, Miranda rights and double jeopardy. while the six amendment it right to a speedy trial with jury for criminal cases. In that case Miranda was accused of kidnapping and raping an 18 year old, they took him in without telling him his rights which means that he did not know he could remain silent, they made him talk but since they did not tell him his civil rights he won the case. Which created the Miranda rights. Now double jeopardy means that they can't accuse him of the same crime. That's all I know and I hope this helps a little, I can't cite anything cause I got this off my government teacher.

Two ways you can avoid gender biased language
Strike441 [17]
I think the correct answer is B. Using general subjects and masculine and feminine pronouns are ways to avoid gender biased language. General subjects can pertain to a male and female. Also, including both masculine and feminine pronouns in a statement will aid gender equality.
