1.What was Miller's point in writing The Crucible?
http://www.honors.umd.edu/HONR269J/archive/MillerCrucible.html
This site was composed by Arthur Miller on October 21, 1996. When Miller read a two-volume, thousand page study by the Mayor of Salem, Charles W. Upham, he decided he wanted to write about that period.
2.How are McCarthyism, the Red Scare, Arthur Miller and The Crucible interrelated?
http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/SaccoV/redscare.html
I like this site b/c it really describes the Red Scare and McCarthyism. This site is really good if you are confused about what McCarthyism and the Red Scare are. It clears it up nicely.
3.Document other times in American history when 'witch hunts' were conducted and discuss the outcomes of the Salem witch hunt and the other witch hunts you find. What do they all have in common?
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAkkk.htm
This is another example of witch hunting. White people think that they are supreme and try to elimate the black race, this is similar to the Salem 'Witch Hunts'. Christians in Salem were trying to rid people "possessed" by the Devil. The Ku Klux Klan and Salem witch hunters are similar.

Hey Sonja!.. i like your websites that you used for your crucible assignment, and how you mentioned the kkk..i never thought of that!
3. Great idea for witch hunting! I never thought of the KKK, very niiice!
Miller's site was great! I thought it was interesting because it was from his view point and how he really felt about McCarthyism. Great job!
So far you have a good start Sonja! I liked your first site, how it was written by Miller himself. Keep up the good work!
I really like the sites you choose. The spartucus site is very reliable and discuss some importamt issues that may come up later. I encourage you all to read it. There are several sites about the House Un-American Activites Committee that link Miller and Mc Carthy; try another search.
Good start Sonja! I have the same first site, which is a really nice site because Miller wrote it himself.
Sonja...make sure you put some sites to help answer question two; you may be getting to it. Good Job!
Good sites. I like the honors one and I didn't even think about the KKK. Congrats
1. Good site for this...it was interesting.
2. Just look up the info for this and you're set to go after you summarize!
Great Job! Your Crucible #2 had a great site that tells a totally different reason why Miller wrote the Crucible. I didn't know that, good job finding it.
Good job on your blog sonja! but u do need a site for the 2nd question eventually, but your 1st question was very informative and i liked it a lot. Possibly another example of witch hunts would help you out, but it was stated nicely. Nice!
You have great informative sites. I thought your KKK idea was a nice example of a witch hunt.
Good Job Sonja, but you might need to add some more information for your second question to even make it better. Good job
1) I had most of this same info on my blog..
2) there isn't a link for the second one?
3) this is a sad ordeal. but you're right about the similarities..
The first site was a pretty good one. It could have said a little more, but it was helpful all the same.
Just google everything you're looking for for the second question. You should be able to find something.
Your summaries were really pretty good. They could have had a little more substance but you're blog looks good!
1.I think that this site has so much information, but I would like to be directed to some specific useful sections that you thought answered the question.It seems like a lot of the movie reviews have really great info. in them.
2. You had another site, I noticed, on your other crucible post. Why don't you use that one?
3. The Klu Klux Klan is an interesting example. I would like to see some other websites and find out more about what makes the group witch hunters.
Good Job.
Sonja make sure that you put at least one site for question number two along with a description. Good start though Sonja.
