Bundle 1 Performance Task This story starts from “The Crucibles,” Act 4. The setting starts in a small prison located in Salem, Massachusetts in the year of 1692. John Proctor and Elizabeth are standing outside of the prison. Elizabeth is trying to persuade Proctor to confess to practicing witchcraft so he could avoid hanging. The different critical decisions my story will have Proctor admit to witchcraft and turn in the confession to Danforth, and then finding Abigail before she left for Barbados and charging her with witchcraft. I will be using 3rd person point of view. John Proctor, a man in his late forties, walks out of the small jail located in Salem, Massachusetts. Sweat was rolling down his
Putnam screamed as Proctor and Elizabeth walked inside their house,"He is a hypocrite and guile!" "He has only a gaunt layer of trust in this village! I can't believe we were so credulous!" Betty Parris screamed. "Where are the children?" proctor mumbled to Hale. "I will bring them home as soon as you get settled." Hale replied. As soon as proctor hit the sheets of his bed, he became inert. The next day Hale comes by to drop off the Proctor children. "I am full of penitence," John said to his children and Elizabeth," I will try to make our lives ameliorate." "I feel like I'm living in an abyss, John," Elizabeth said with tears filling her eyes,"What if we had exalted God every Sunday, and not plowed? What if we had been pious? I would not have to live in trepidation. We would have not had one indictment against us John!" "We will live not in trepidation every day Elizabeth, but in ecstasy. We will live in ecstasy because our lives were not taken, and we get to spend everyday with our children. We will live every day in a methodical way, a way like we did before the accusations. We will ingratiate everyone we come in contact with. We will live under the theocracy. They have reproached us of something of profane sin. They have used defamation against the Proctor name," Said

"I believe she has gone to the ship that is going to be on its way to Barbados," Parris said sadly," She has taken my money and she has gone with Mary Warren, Sir." "Call Hale, and we will find her right away." As the three of them go onto a hidden path a few miles down they see Abigal and Marry Warren. "STOP! STOP RIGHT THERE YOUNG LADIES!" Danforth screamed. They cuffed the girls and took them back to the jail house. "Bring me only Abigal, leave Marry Warren in the cell until further notice." There were two knocks on the door, and entered Abigal Parris. "Where were you going Abigal?" Said Danforth. "Sir, I was going to Barbados. I was going to Barbados to be with Tituba, and to get away from the madness. Everyone has trafficked with the devil here, Sir. I am one of the only pure ones in this village!" Abigal said. "Abigal you have fooled us enough. You have beguiled everyone in this village. Have you trafficked with the devil? Have you seen the face of the fiend? Have you seen anyone with him?" Danforth said in disgust. "No, Sir. I love God." She replied. "Take her to the cell and bring in Marry Warren." Danforth said. He heard footsteps through the hallway, and then three knocks on the door. "Marry Warren, where were you and Abigal going?" Danforth said. "Abigal was taking me to Barbadoes. She said she wanted to be with Tituba, so they
