Once upon a time in a small town that no one has heard of, there was some unusual business going down. The king’s daughter, Rebecca, was cleaning her room and all of the sudden a wicked witch flew into her room. “Well hello my princess,” said the witch, “I’ve been wanting to speak with you.” “Then talk,” the princess shot back. So, the witch started talking like the princess had said. “You see everything that you have, it is all so beautiful,” said the witch. She took a break to breathe. “BUT NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE YOURS!” Rebecca, who was frightened half to death asked, “Why do we not deserve all of this?” “I don’t know that yet,” said the witch, “but I still don’t want you to have it.” “Okay then,” said the witch with such urgency, …show more content…

“You are going with me of course,” the witch replied. The witch ran away with Rebecca and up to the mountain where the witch lives. About a half hour later the King (who's name is Kevin by the way) called his daughter down for dinner. “It’s time for dinner my daughter,” he said. No one answered. He called again, but this time he was a little bit scared so he raised his voice a little bit. “Time For Dinner!” he called. Still, no one answered. This time, he raised his voice so that he was screaming, “TIME FOR DINNER.” And for a third and final time, no one answered. King Kevin ran into the princesses’ room, and started searching for her. After a hour of desperately looking, he gave up. He said, “Tomorrow I come up with my new plan.” And that is exactly what he did. The next day, he hopped out of bed and started to plan right away. His idea was brilliant. The king’s plan was to hang posters all over the town, that invited only the bravest people to go on his journey. As soon as he put the posters up people came rushing to the castle. He chose the bravest candidates to go on his mission. One of the men's name was Jerry. Jerry was a strong and brave man who walked with much confidence in his step. The king saw this so he gave Jerry the job. “I will not let you down,” Jerry said with much

    Rebecca Nurse was known to all as a saintly woman. She followed God with all her heart, soul, mind, and strength. The Lord was her savior and protector. But because of mass hysteria, Mrs. Nurse was incriminated of exploiting witchcraft. This aghast most people because the most religious person they knew had been a witch. This was false. Rebecca Nurse was not a witch and had not demonstrated witchcraft by any means. She was innocent. She, like John Proctor, was solicited by Reverend Hale to confess but to no avail. Rebecca Nurse had held an immaculate reputation, and she was not about to let it get defamed by some false accusation. Rebecca Nurse, again like John Proctor, was hung for her falsely accused treacherous actions. This again is a prime example of what people will go through in order to keep a reputation that is accepted by

    “It’s strange how I knew you, but I suppose you look as such a good soul should. We have all heard of your great charities in Beverly.” This quote, stated by Reverend Hale, referring to Rebecca Nurse explains how others in the town think very highly of her.

    Birds and stars were flying right above me. I sat there looking at them for a while. Still squeezing the ball for five seconds and releasing for three. I could not think of anything my head felt fuzzy, so I continued to look at the birds and stars despite that these were warning signs. Somebody was right beside me I could not make out who. Perhaps, I should tell him. I debated it until it just slipped out of my mouth, “Heya, dude, I am feeling a lit- little lightheaded here.” My thoughts were racing now, Did he hear me? Wouldn’t they do something? Do they know what to do? Should I try again? Okay the most logical thing to do is to try and tell him again, he must of not heard me, he wouldn’t just leave me here.

    When Betty Parris and Ruth Putnam fall sick, Mrs. Putnam comes to visit Mr. Parris. She speaks of Ruth’s ailment by saying, “She ails as she must- she never waked this morning, but her eyes open and she walks, and hears naught, sees naught, and cannot eat. Her soul is taken, surely” (Miller 13). Miller uses a hasty generalization to set the entire play in motion. Mrs. Putnam makes the first mention of witchcraft in the play. Mrs. Putnam is suggesting that the girls are not sick, but bewitched. With this hasty generalization, friends, family, and neighbors start being accused of witchcraft, starting with Tituba in this scene. The villagers are fully willing to accuse each other of making deals with the devil. In fact, they use this to their advantage. With a neighbor hanged, their land is available to buy. The villagers make hasty generalizations because of their fear of the devil, their fear of sin, and their advantageous nature. Their belief that God damns all sinners makes them draw hasty conclusions to try to fulfill God’s work, which is taken to an extreme.
