In this essay, I will look at the play “The Crucible”, written by Arthur Miller, the author of other popular plays such as “A View from the Bridge”, “All My Sons” and “Death of a Salesman”. The play was written in 1953, when Miller was thirty-eight years old. Literally, the play is about the Salem Witch trials, which were a series of trials in the county court of Massachusetts, in which over one-hundred and fifty townspeople were arrested and accused of practising witchcraft. However, metaphorically the play is about McCarthyism, a period of time from 1940-1950 in which many American Citizens were accused of being Communists, or supporting Communism. The accused were imprisoned, and thousands lost their jobs, including many Hollywood film stars. I will be analysing the presentation of relationships in three scenes, and looking at who has power, who has pride, and who only wants personal gain.

for the crucible.
for my GCSE coursework.
give it a grade?

I chose to argue it would have a positive effect ( everyone else chose to argue that it would have a negative effect, so arguing the opposite would make for a stronger essay) Instead of torturing you with a really long essay I’ll just present the main point:
1. Creates new revenue for the economy
2. Create new jobs
3. Affordable in most states (Massachusetts already has a system and I used some examples where if It’s system was used as a model and a few changes were made, larger and poorer states could afford it too)

I cant think of how to even start it… Here’s my essay

New England is a region of the country located in the Northeastern Corner. The colonies of New England consist of the modern states of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. English Pilgrims from Europe first settled in New England in 1620, in the colony of Plymouth. In the late 18th century, the New England colonies would be among the first North American British colonies to have independence from the British Crown. However, later they would oppose the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States.
The colony of Rhode Island was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams. Roger Williams led many Aristocrats to religious freedom. Rhode Island has many religions including Quaker, Puritan, Baptist, Anglicans, Jewish, Catholic, and Congregationalists. New Hampshire was first founded in 1623 by Pilgrims from England and was one of the first original 13 colonies. Pilgrims came to New Hampshire for religious freedom and starting their lives over. One of the ships which brought the pilgrims to New Hampshire was called The Jonathan. The Jonathan’s passengers were 10 white male pilgrims. Three years later more pilgrims came to New Hampshire and began to settle there.
When the Revolutionary War began in 1775, New Hampshire was the first colony to declare independence from England. New Hampshire is governed under a constitution that started in 1784. This constitution is older than every other state except Massachusetts. An earlier constitution for New Hampshire begun in 1776. New Hampshire cast the deciding vote on June 21, 1788 which put the Constitution into effect.
The geography is a mix of different things. They have a lot of mountains like Mount Washington. There are over 1,300 lakes and rivers. There is only one seaport in the colony, called Portsmouth. There are six religions including Roman Catholic, Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Puritans. The climate temperature through the year is from the average 70 degrees to 6 degrees. The average temperature in July is 70 degrees. The average temperature in January is 6 degrees. The jobs of New Hampshire pilgrims were fishing, lumber, ship building, and farming. Public education in New Hampshire was established by law in 1647 when New Hampshire was a part of Massachusetts.
Connecticut was founded by Thomas Hooker, so that he could practice his Puritan religion. For that same reason many colonists came to live in Connecticut. People in the colony included Native Americans and colonists. The economy included trade and growing crops. The climate in Connecticut is colder than England’s. Its summers are mild. Their government is based on the consent of the people. The colony of Connecticut was one of the first colonies to have a constitution.
Massachusetts was a spectacular colony. Captain John Smith founded Massachusetts for religious freedom. Massachusetts has rocky coasts, ports, cliffs, and is very sandy. Summers are warm and winters are mild. There is a population of more than 200,000 people. The people there were mostly puritans, Indians, and farmers. There were no trained doctors. The work was strictly divided between men and women. Their jobs were mostly farming and trade.
European history in Massachusetts begins with adventurous explorers, who explored the coast of Massachusetts centuries before the Mayflower made its voyage. There is a legend that Leif Ericson and his Norsemen touched here in the year 1000 to cast their nets for cod. In 1497 and 1498 John Cabot carried through the explorations upon which England based its original claim to North America. Other occasional stops were made by voyagers seeking a new route to the East. In 1602 Bartholomew Gosnold explored the bay and christened Cape Cod for the fish. Twelve years later John Smith wrote New England journeying. In1634, William Wood contributed his “New England Prospect” to the growing travel literature of the New World. There was talk in Europe of the wealth that was here and the trade that might be established. But the first important movement toward settlement started in religious aspirations.
