THREE L’s: LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE. James Paul R. Aquino "LIVE LOVE LAUGH" was what it said. It made me smile and think how simple those words are‚ yet how serious they are.

The theme of The Crucible was very meaningful and powerful.. The way it came about was by thinking of the main problem in the play. Then choosing the topic from there.
