Davion Mandeville Mrs. Hostetler English 11 8 November 2012 The Crucible: #3 In the book The Crucible‚ there were many displays of courage‚ weakness‚ and truth. Many characters showed these signs‚ but only a few stood out to me. I believe John Proctor showed the most courage. As of weakness‚ I think that I would have to say that both John and Elizabeth Proctor showed a lot of this. Finally for truth‚ I would give it to Danforth. One way John Proctor showed courage was by speaking up to Reverend

Who was to blame for the Cuban missile crisis? The U.S had part of this crisis as they overreacted to the fact that the U.S.S.R was importing missiles into Cuba. They made Cuba tense because they tried to invade Cuba twice. The Cubans needed and help and the U.S.S.R were there to help. If the U.S didn’t try to invade Cuba then it wouldn’t cause so much tension thus the crisis not happening. Also if they haven’t set up a base in Turkey then this wouldn’t have led the Russians to put missiles in

He did not take careful consideration of the chances that things will not turn out the way he expected. Friar Lawrence entrusted a friar (who was unaware of the urgency) to deliver the letter. If Friar Lawrence had thought about what would happen if Romeo didn’t receive the message in time‚ he probably would have taken better precautions. It

Who is to blame for the deaths of these two young adults? Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare ending with the deaths of two star-crossed lovers. Many events occur that lead to their deaths. Also‚ many characters have performed specific actions that push these two lovers closer towards their death. In my opinion I believe the Friar is most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The Friar agrees to marry the two‚ he helps Juliet plan a fake death‚ and lastly Friar never

“Romeo & Juliet” “I love thee with a love that shall not die‚ till the sun grown cold and the stars grow old.” William Shakespeare. A lot of people say fate and the long-standing family feud is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death because of the saying “everything happens for a reason‚ we may not know the reason now but we will in time.” Some think because of Romeo and Juliet killed them selves even though its tragic also brought some good into it by the family’s coming together in the end

drives the community of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible to the hangings of various innocent people. Reverend Parris highly regards his reputation more than standing up to a corrupt authority. Judge Danforth wrongly condemns and hangs townspeople‚ yet refuses to admit his faults. By contrast‚ John Proctor is an ashamed lecher and prioritizes saving his wife and saving the unjustly convicted people who are still alive with the truth. Throughout The Crucible‚ Miller utilizes corrupt male authority figures

The Crucible In The Crucible‚ by Arthur Miller‚ I found three of the several themes shown throughout the play to be important. In Salem‚ fear rules the lives of the villagers‚ causing irrational actions. Also‚ the Salem Villagers are very manipulative people and will coerce others into doing what they want. Finally‚ the officials tend to follow either the letter of the law‚ or the spirit of the law‚ affecting the choices that are made in court. These themes are shown periodically throughout the
