Crucible Writing Assignment (#2) Dear Diary‚ Alright I’m starting this diary so I can at least tell someone about how exciting my life is! I currently work as a housekeeper in house of the Proctor family‚ and it’s really fun. No‚ it’s not the work that’s fun‚ but it is the fact that I am kind of involved with John (Mr. Proctor). I know it sounds bad since he is married‚ but God put us together under the same roof for one reason; to unite our hearts. His wife is sickly and pregnant‚

The Crucible Character Diary Project Assignment: Before you begin‚ it is important for you to realize that writing—other than religious poems and praises—was not allowed by the Puritans. It was considered a sin‚ and punishable as an offence. What if one of the characters in The Crucible kept a “forbidden diary”‚ detailing their thoughts and insights on the events happening around them? Most importantly‚ this diary would reveal much about this person’s inner feelings‚ motives‚ and reasoning.

Three months ago I confessed that I have a blackened soul‚ darkened by lechery‚ and I am sure I will hang this morning because of it.

Alessia Garino Diary Entry 1: My name is Winston Smith and I think it is the year 1984‚ but I’m not really sure‚ for this matter no one is really sure of that. I’m a member of the outer party of INGSOC‚ live in Oceania and I work for the Ministry of Truth. What I’m writing today is a story that should never be told‚ as it should have never happened.

Diary entry Dear diary‚ It was my first day at the school today. It was a ridiculous school the students were crammed into small dark rooms with teachers that seemed very uneducated. The children were not much better. Many of the teachers at the school had a really bad teaching strategy and proceeded to teach the children by ramming tonnes of text books in their faces and hoping that they learn something from it. I feel rather sorry for these children forced to learn in a very old fashioned
