Answer:
"The Crucible" is a play written by Arthur Miller, an American Dramatist.
The play is a fictionalized version of Massachusetts's "Salem Witch Trials" of 1692-93.
Explanation:
Abigail Williams is the antagonist in the play. She had an adulterous relation with John Proctor. But John is married to Elizabeth. Out of jealousy for Elizabeth, Abigail with some other girls, tries to invoke curse on Elizabeth so that after her death, she could marry John.
Abigail behaves as if she is an adult when John tries to tell her that their relationship is a past thing saying,
<em>"I know how you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion whenever I come near! I saw your face when she put me out and you loved me then and you do now! "</em>
Her lust and passion for John Proctor and her jealousy towards Elizabeth took a drastic shift in the play. When caught by her uncle in the forest dancing naked and performing pagan rituals, she accuses Elizabeth for devil-worship.
Mary, on the other hand, is a very naive and weak girl, in comparison to Abigail. She is the employer of Proctor's. She knows the truth of the girls and resist witnessing falsity against the Proctor's. But when pressed down by the situation in the courtroom she sides with Abigail and the girls and accuses Proctor's of being witch-craft practitioners.
My dad Mike and I were vacationing on Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massachusetts. We left from home, Concord, New Hampshire, and arrived at the ferry boat Nantucket Queen. The next day we rented a boat and sailed into Grebers Bay, the voices of other sailors and the sound of the water beneath us, and the flapping of the overhead sails was all so pleasant. Suddenly, the peaceful scene was interrupted by shouts from another boat that had turned and was heading right to us. "Watch out!" two men yelled excitedly. "We've lost control of our boat!" "Grab the tiller, John!" Dad yelled at me. "Pull it towards you when I give the signal, all right Dad?" I responded. Dad grabbed the sail and as he adjusted it, he yelled at me, "Now John! Pull back!" I did what he said not a moment too soon. Whew, what a narrow escape. The other boat passed within nearly twenty two inches of ours.

It was a social structure.
The world watched as the images were shared. Moments like this are rare not just because telescopes this powerful are few and far between but also because collective experiences are, too, at least ones so overwhelmingly positive. That is its own feat, and it’s what space exploration does: It reminds us of our inherent connection. Viewing images like these can also provide a profound sense of insignificance — they offer a sense of proportion and understanding of just how small we are on the grand scale.
