Crucible Reading Response The Crucible is a play based on a society ruled by theocracy. Danforth ‘s statement of “–a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it ‚ there be no road between” clearly demonstrates the Puritan’s prospective of seeing everything in black and white. Arthur Miller’s purpose of writing The Crucible was due to the close resemblance between the Salem Witch-trails and McCarthyism. They are both human tragedies that are driven by human fear. In

A response to Bertrand Russell’s Happy Life Happiness: What does that fully mean? To be truly happy‚ is that something that you can achieve in life? After reading “The Happy Life” by Bertrand Russell‚ my outlook on happiness hasn’t changed but has been enlightened.

The Martian Chroniclers response paper The article The Martian Chroniclers a new era of planetary exploration by Burkhard Bilger discusses Earth and Mars known as the “Goldilocks Planets‚” this is because Earth and Mars both have the perfect environment for life to be sustained.

Response Paragraph I really enjoyed reading Alexie’s essay. What he writes about is very expressive‚ and you get the full point of what he is trying to express. The main part that touched me is when he is explaining how he was treated‚ and what he had to go through just because he was smart‚ and wasn’t afraid to express himself. The other children would beat him up; he was looked down on‚ and also treated as an outsider because of this. Alexie didn’t care though because he knew that there was something

Reader Response: 1984 The novel 1984 made me paranoid and suspicious of the government’s power and intentions. I became aware of the potential manipulation of which the government could impose upon us. The very thing which I depend on for security and protection may be a conniving entity which feeds off of it’s own power and corruption. As I flourished in my naivety‚ I was unaware that the people I trusted‚ whom I believed to be wholly dedicated to our well-being as a society‚ could betray

A Time for Justice Video Response I learned many new things from this video. I learned that many people died in the black’s non-violent revolution for freedom and rights. I also learned that most African Americans were paid an average of only about $700. African Americans were denied education at all white schools‚ and were only allowed a less than average education at black schools. Under the Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs. Board of Education‚ a number of African American Honors students integrated
