Homework 12/17
Hey guys, different format tonight. Don't bother doing the quotes, questions, etc. What I want you to do is prep some questions for discussion and debate (just because I am guessing you'll have different opinions, nothing formal though) in class tomorrow.
I recommend doing an outline format, kind of like I do in class. wIth some personal notes and maybe pages to reference for quotes.
The questions are as follows and are all pertaining to Chapter 14! (previously said 15, MY BAD!!!)
Questions for discussion:
What does Hester now say about her scarlet letter to Chillingworth?
Describe Chillingworth physically.
What do we find out Dimmesdale’s true "death" is, and how does he suffer it?
Describe exactly how Chillingworth has treated Dimmesdale and why he has treated him that way.
Why has Dimmesdale increased his debt to Chillingworth?
Is Chillingworth’s argument valid about that point?
What is the final resolution between Hester and Chillingworth? Is there one?
IF you type it, it wouldn't hurt to print it out for class. If you write it in your notebook that is fine, just bring it in tomorrow for me to check.
Thanks,
Mr. G

Writing Topic 3
Crucible Writing Activity 3: Toying With Our Emotions
1.) Describe John Proctor’s redemption. Questions to consider include: Why is he unable to be redeemed in the beginning of the play? What are key shifts that allow him to be redeemed? How is he ultimately redeemed?
2.) Describe Abigail Williams treacherous fall. Questions to consider include: Why does the audience dislike Abigail? What makes her, as opposed to the other sinners, specifically the most detestable? How is her end worse than all the other characters?
What I would like you to focus on in these essays is the human side of each of these characters? How does the author manipulate the reader into feeling certain emotions for these characters? What is it about being human that makes us feel this way?
This essay should be at least 2 pages long and no longer than 5. It should be in MLA format. I expect there to be no errors, so make sure you have someone proof read.
100 Points.
Due: Friday December 5th
To Redeem: To set free; rescue. Or: To save from sinfulness.
Treachery: Willful betrayal of trust.

Thanksgiving work
So, I didn't want to give you guys an essay since we won't have a chance to go over it or talk about it, so instead you will be doing something you are more familiar with. You'll be writing 3 letters (at least a page) from characters in the play to one another. The time or place is determined by you (aka you could do a love note from Abby to Proctor before the play started, or a note from Danforth on his death bed). The theme could vary, it could be an apology note, a love note, a note from proctor to his son before he died, whatever.
What i'm looking for is your in depth understanding of the characters. I want you to demonstrate that you know how they would act in certain situations and I want you to use the language they would use.
Each letter is worth 20 points for a total of 60.
As always, no errors.
Post on blogs before next Tuesday (I don't have you on Monday), and bring in a typed copy as well. (by the way, try and post it as soon as you do it, so that I can grade it earlier....as a favor to me. Don't worry if you don't do it till later though).
They can be as long as you'd like, but at least a page (also keep it in the form of a letter).
Any questions, email me.
Have an outstanding thanksgiving. God bless.
