The Crucible By; Joey Trunkely
The Crucible • They thought there was witches in Salem. • People could either admit to being a witch or deny it and be killed. • Innocent people died.
Modern day • A lot of crazy people. • People lie to get ahead in life. • Many people die everyday.
Fear in the Crucible • No one wanted to die so many people lied about people being witches. • John Proctor didn’t want to leave his family. • The church was scared because they didn’t approve of weird behavior. • They town was brought together by trials of accused witches.
Fear in modern day • War with other countries • Terrorism • Being judged on your beliefs. • Getting into trouble with the law.
Similarities of fear in modern day and The Crucible • Brought together by fear of a common thing. • Don’t want to get in trouble with the law/church. • Being judged by your peers.
Scapegoats in The Crucible • They would accuse someone else of being a witch just so they wouldn’t die. • Abigail blamed Tituba for making them dance in the woods. • The Putnam's blame Rebecca nurse for the supernatural deaths of Ann's babies.
Scapegoats in modern day • Criminals will blame other people for their crime. • People blame the government for their problems. • People will blame anyone to not get in trouble
