 * Crucible: Fact vs. Fiction **

While there are many similarities between Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and the Salem Witch Hunt, there are also many differences. Please research 1 difference in each category listed and write a paragraph for each category, explaining and analyzing the differences. Paraphrase and CITE your sources used after each paragraph. Your paragraph should also include why YOU think Arthur Miller made the change from history and what effect you feel it has on the play. You are not to copy and paste from websites.

This is to be completed in MLA format. Please keep on your computer and save as your hour, last name, and FF web. (2 Smith FFweb.docx)

Categories:

The Legal Process: This includes anything having to do with the court-judges, actual accusations, the length of time. People’s names and ages: This category includes changes to characters’ names or ages. Who they were or what role they played in the Salem community could also be changed. Plot events: This includes major plot points that are changed from real life to fit the literary aspects of the play. Stick with major events that did or didn’t happen in real life that are portrayed differently in the text (not the movie-the text). Executions: This includes differences that surround the executions. People, dates, methods, additions or subtractions to the text.

The Crucible Character Analysis Paper
 * Essay Assignment: **

Chose a character from “The Crucible” and analyze him/her and his/her importance to “The Crucible”. Ask yourself, how did this character act throughout the play? Does he/she change behavior throughout the play? Any reason why? What motivates how the character acts? Does that motivation change at all and why? How is this character’s behavior and belief important to Miller’s story? Let these questions lead to other questions.

Analyze that character and construct a well-developed paper with support (you should use quotes from the text- cite your textbook with the page number in parentheses after the quote) that shows that you have analyzed him/her.

DO NOT give me a summary of the story DO NOT use 1st or 2nd person DO NOT give strictly a description of the character You DO NOT need the internet for this assignment. You are to analyze and use your text as support.
