So I have a collection of what I think are heretofore unpublished lines from student papers, quizzes, and tests about Arthur Miller's The Crucible. None can compare to my all time favorite, the paper that was titled: "The Testes of John Proctor." She meant "Tests," or else the paper didn't really deliver on the title. As always, my comments in ( ).
- 7 of her 8 babies died in infantry. (They enlisted young.)
- I have sympathy for Tituba because she is a scrape goat.
- John forgets adultery and this is significant because Elizabeth tried to remind him about irony. (You should always remember irony.)
- (Abigail) is psychologically maladjusted, which causes her to comit crazy behavior.
- Abigail was a huge blame for the unhappy ending.
- Abigail's hope that she with be with John Proctor... is shone brightly.
- "Because it is my mane!" (The Crucible meets The Lion King?)
- In the crucible that test the characters John Proctors patience gets tested. (Right, got it.)
- People are not always quilty. (Uh, guilty?)
- He becomes to be self aware of himself. (Department of Redundancy Department here.)
- John had no self respect for himself. (Yes, Department of Redundancy Department. How may we assist or help?)
- Danforth ask(s) John to confess or to befoul with hell.
- Abigail recalled the physically involved times she spent with John Proctor. (There's a new euphemism.)
- All but one child of hers has died or not lived. (Thank you for calling the Department of Redundancy Department.)
- Elizabeth had trusting issues.
- Abby initially started in the beginning casting spells. (Department of Redundancy Department. How may I direct your sentence?)
- She has the ice of heart to do it.
- John Proctor through out the book showed change through is character.
- John Proctor was a very dense and quiet man.
- ... a wide arrange of characters.
- The trials caused many lives of innocent people to die.
- ... they were discovered dancing in the woods in Rev. Parris' house. (Big house.)
- (Abby) said Elizabeth made a voodoo doll to sabatosh her.
Here is hoping none of you get sabatoshed.
