My Written Task On The Crucible By Arthur Miller
Rationale
My written task is connected to Part 3 of the course: Literature - texts and context. During this part we read the play, The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller in the 1950s which talks about the Salem witch trials that took place in Massachusetts during the early 1690s which will be the primary resource of my written task.

I always wanted to feel important, to move the game pieces and with this happening, I could do that and even get what I always wanted, John Proctor. He made a promise to me when he first committed adultery, and he could not just go back to his sick wife and leave me alone like if nothing had ever happened.
