Crucible Reflection

Looking over the Crucible, I am going to reflect on the characters. The characters are really only thinking about themselves. They're not only selfish but they are naive. They believe anything that is told to them by any certain person. Abigail could sit there and tell them the world was ending because Goody Proctor made it end, and Danforth would most likely believe it. The only thing they care about is keeping their their lives. Because no one wanted to die, they all ended up lying and "confessing" to save themselves. In my opinion, Abigail would be the most annoying person in the world.

Arthur Miller Biography

Sinners in the hands of an angry god sermon.

1. There is no lack of "power" in God to throw wicked men into hell at any moment. Men's hands cannot be strong when God rises up: the strongest have no power to resist Him, nor can anyone save them from His hands. He is not only able to throw wicked men into hell, but He can do it most easily. Sometimes an earthly prince meets with a great deal of difficulty trying to subdue a rebel, who has found ways to fortify himself, and has made himself strong by the mere numbers of his followers. But it is not so with God. There is no fortress that is any defense from the power of God. Though hand join in hand, and vast multitudes of God's enemies combine and associate themselves, they are easily broken into pieces. They are like great heaps of light chaff [worthless matter;rubbish] before the whirlwind; or large quantities of dry hay before devouring flames. We find it easy to step on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth; likewise it is easy for us to cut a slender thread that anything hangs by: therefore it easy for God, when He pleases, to throw His enemies down into hell. What are we, that we should think that we can stand before Him, at whose rebuke the earth trembles, and before whom the mountains collapse?

A person who played a large part: Squanto

Squanto became famous and well known for helping  the pilgrims during their voyage. Squanto played a huge part in their survival. First, he showed the pilgrims how to plant crops so they could provide food for themselves. He taught the women how to prepare corn in several ways and how to befriend other indians. He even stayed with the pilgrims for a while to help them get started.

Jamestown Photo

This is a picture of the Jamestown settlement. This picture shows it just as it was described. A triangular area protected by tall wooden posts to keep out the enemies. The only difference i see is that they do not have cannons in every corner in case of an assault. I think this picture most accurately displays Jamestown.

Native American Culture

While we read about the Native Americans in our book, I found the beliefs of each tribes origin to be the most interesting. Out of all of the origin stories, I thought the skyworld story was the most interesting because it must have taken a lot of time to think how all of the world was created. It seems extremely farfetched to me that a lady would fall through the ground, put dirt on a turtle's back and grow the Earth. While reading these stories I did realize that they incorporate their culture in with their beliefs. Its pretty cool to see all of the different beliefs of the Native Americans.
