The Crucible
In the book The Crucible there were two hangings, each getting very different reactions from the crowd. In the first hangings some of the townspeople truly believed they were freeing their town of witches. Some townspeople, however, were only excited because they got the revenge that they wanted. In the second hangings the townspeople were filled with sorrow because they were beginning to see the truth about the witch trials, and the corruption that was taking place. The townspeople also saw that the trials had gotten too far out of hand. The townspeople now did not want to see there friends get hung. Their hearts were filled with sorrow and there eyes filled with tears. There was a dramatic change in the townspeople's reaction during the hangings.

I agree that there was a dramatic change in the people's emotions during both hangings. I saw that the atmospheres drastically changed but for the better.
ReplyDeleteThere definately was a dramatic change in reaction. You used the word "corruption." I think it is a good word to use because that's exactly what the accusing girls were becoming.
