This week we have been acting a play out about The Crucible and the witchcraft in the town of Salem. I have learned that some people would do anything in order to get rid of somebody they do not want alive. An example would be Abigail doesn't want Goody Proctor to be alive because she wants John Proctor to love her. We were getting the idea of do not accuse someone of something without proof. Everyone in the town has been accusing outsiders since they are not part of the big group so to say. I am wondering who is connected to the devil in the town of salem. I believe it is Abigail because she is acting really good around the minister and stuff but in reality is one of the naughty girls who is fooling around with witch craft. Abigail is causing much hatred for the rest of the town.

This week i learned a lot about witchcraft and some of the awful things that happened during that time. Many women were innocent yet were accused of witchcraft and were tortured or even killed because of it. I learned that people can be very stereotypical, even in today's world. People judge people because they are afraid or fear that group of individuals. People feared witches in the past like people fear ISIS and Muslims everyday today. If we see a Muslim now a days we automatically believe they are a part of ISIS. Just like how if there was unusual behavior by a women back in the day they were suspected to be a witch. This is some important stuff to look at today, if we treat every Muslim to be a part of ISIS and choose to discriminate them and torture them that's not fair to the ones who are actually just trying to follow their religion and be a good Muslim. Islam is the second most common religion in the world and only a small chunk of them are bad, yet for some reason we treat all of them as if they are bad. This is mainly because we are very scared of the bad ones so we take extra precaution around them. Yet it isn't fair to the ones who are just trying to live their day to day lives. At the start of the new trimester i have learned multiple things in the first week. I have learned that there are no shortcuts in life. I have learned about the power of an individual. I have learned to become a better writer, by just expressing myself and letting it all out. I have learned to communicate with others if i am in need of help. I would rate my understanding of the ideas so far really high, I find it really easy to learn the way it is taught to us. I gave an idea as to what i thought the Power of the Individual meant. I thought it was about the strength as to which a person can obtain or contains mentally. We read out of the English book about James Edwards this week and learned a little bit about him. We created our own weebly page, and wrote paragraphs about how we felt about reading and writing. |
