Eng 11(S)

1. Hand in missing work.
2. Begin "The Crucible" essay outline
Topic options:
1. Compare the roles that Elizabeth and Abigail play in "The Crucible"
2. Discuss the changers Reverend Hale undergoes in the play.
3. How do the witch trials empower individuals who were previously powerless?
4. Discuss the role that grudges and personal rivalries play in the witch trial hysteria.
5. Another topic of your choice (see me for approval) [You may want to write a paper about the Puritans, sin in the play, theocracy, etc).
*Remember: Thesis - answers the reader's question "so what?"
- Use a minimum of 3 quotes as support (cite the Act and page number)
- Discuss theme, literary devices (irony, symbols, allegory, etc)
- Consider the many binaries explored in the play: Good/Evil, Madonna/Whore, Innocence/Guilt, Moral/Immoral, Men/Women, etc.
***You will have Tuesday and Wednesday to plan and edit your essay; Thursday we write the good draft in class***
