Ch.4: “My friends,” he said, with a gloomy shake of the head, ”It is far more serious matter than we supposed.” PG. 24…
In chapter 11 page 202 Miller explains how people rarely talk about their actual jobs or job duties when they are asked about work. They talk about how they feel when they are at work and how they feel about the people they work with. Many will also explain the culture of the place they work. People’s emotional connection with the place they work has everything to do with how they approach their job and how they deal with those duties. So in a sense I would consider everyone’s job consisting of ‘emotional labor’. Now how bearable the emotional labor is will have to do with the individual. For example, if a co-worker comes to work in a foul mood I try my best to make the work day less stressful for them so that their bad mood doesn’t get…

Excessive pride is an inflated sense of one's personal ego or how they feel about their own accomplishments. The play, The Crucible, recounts the time period of American history in which the country was being plagued with accusations of innocent citizes working for Satan; these citizens were labeled 'witches' or 'wizards'. Most of the accused were hanged for their 'sins' and many were excommunicated from the Church. The author of The Crucible, Arthur Miller, employs the theme of Pride throughout the play to add plot twists and create suspense. In The Crucible, several main characters- Reverend Hale, Elizabeth Proctor, and John Proctor are dignified by their fleeting or strong standing acts of excessive pride in their individual roles.…

Love is defined by dictionary.com as “an intense feeling of deep emotion.†Love is not something that should be forced, because of common interests, intelligence, or good weather. Love is much more natural, it is not an equation to be solved; it is an emotion to be felt. Who one decides to marry is one of, if not the biggest decision one has to make in his or her life, it should not be taken lightly. In Mavis Gallant’s short story, The Other Paris, Gallant mocks humanity’s modern day over analyzing of love through narrative voice and characterization to prove that love is not something that should be forced or solved, but something that should happen naturally on its own.…

The famous writer F. Scott Fitzgerald said many years ago, “The reason one writes isn 't the fact he wants to say something. He writes because he has something to say.” [5] Arthur Miller definitely conveyed what he had to say in Miller’s 1952 play The Crucible. Arthur Miller was born in Lower Manhattan on 17 October 1915. [1] Miller worked very hard to pay his way through college at the University of Michigan, where he intently studied journalism. [1] [2] Miller grew up in the late 1940s and in the early 1950s when The McCarthyism Era broke out around the United States, and it drew Miller’s attention. [1] The McCarthyism Era led to Miller’s interest in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. [7] Soon thereafter Miller researched the trials, and began to write his claim to fame The Crucible. The Crucible made its commendable debut as a play in 1953 at the Martin Beck Theatre in New York City. Many people may know the plot of the story, but very few actually know the meaning of the word crucible. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary has an abundance of definitions on this word; however, only one applies to The Crucible: a severe test. [11] In the play The Crucible, the courts applied pressure, and gave the accused a relentless test to prove whether they were guilty or innocent. The Crucible is known as a dramatization of the Salem Witch Trials that occurred in the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1692 to 1693.[4] Many innocent people fell to execution in a plethora of unpleasant ways because the courts believed the accused had involved themselves in acts of witchcraft.[12] The Crucible by Arthur Miller has become an important part of American literature because of its relevance to the history of the Salem Witch Trials, the events similar to the Salem Witch Trials that followed the trials, and finally the significance and lasting effect of witchcraft in modern society.…
