Once upon a time in a small town that no one has heard of, there was some unusual business going down. The king’s daughter, Rebecca, was cleaning her room and all of the sudden a wicked witch flew into her room. “Well hello my princess,” said the witch, “I’ve been wanting to speak with you.” “Then talk,” the princess shot back. So, the witch started talking like the princess had said. “You see everything that you have, it is all so beautiful,” said the witch. She took a break to breathe. “BUT NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE YOURS!” Rebecca, who was frightened half to death asked, “Why do we not deserve all of this?” “I don’t know that yet,” said the witch, “but I still don’t want you to have it.” “Okay then,” said the witch with such urgency, …show more content…

“You are going with me of course,” the witch replied. The witch ran away with Rebecca and up to the mountain where the witch lives. About a half hour later the King (who's name is Kevin by the way) called his daughter down for dinner. “It’s time for dinner my daughter,” he said. No one answered. He called again, but this time he was a little bit scared so he raised his voice a little bit. “Time For Dinner!” he called. Still, no one answered. This time, he raised his voice so that he was screaming, “TIME FOR DINNER.” And for a third and final time, no one answered. King Kevin ran into the princesses’ room, and started searching for her. After a hour of desperately looking, he gave up. He said, “Tomorrow I come up with my new plan.” And that is exactly what he did. The next day, he hopped out of bed and started to plan right away. His idea was brilliant. The king’s plan was to hang posters all over the town, that invited only the bravest people to go on his journey. As soon as he put the posters up people came rushing to the castle. He chose the bravest candidates to go on his mission. One of the men's name was Jerry.

The night was tempestuous and my emotions were subtle, like the flame upon a torch. They blew out at the same time that my sense of tranquility dispersed, as if the winds had simply come and gone. The shrill scream of a young girl ricocheted off the walls and for a few brief seconds, it was the only sound that I could hear. It was then that the waves of turmoil commenced to crash upon me. It seemed as though every last one of my senses were succumbed to disperse from my reach completely. As everything blurred, I could just barely make out the slam of a door from somewhere alongside me and soon, the only thing that was left in its place was an ominous silence.

The Crucible Hominem Analysis

When Betty Parris and Ruth Putnam fall sick, Mrs. Putnam comes to visit Mr. Parris. She speaks of Ruth’s ailment by saying, “She ails as she must- she never waked this morning, but her eyes open and she walks, and hears naught, sees naught, and cannot eat. Her soul is taken, surely” (Miller 13). Miller uses a hasty generalization to set the entire play in motion. Mrs. Putnam makes the first mention of witchcraft in the play. Mrs. Putnam is suggesting that the girls are not sick, but bewitched. With this hasty generalization, friends, family, and neighbors start being accused of witchcraft, starting with Tituba in this scene. The villagers are fully willing to accuse each other of making deals with the devil. In fact, they use this to their advantage. With a neighbor hanged, their land is available to buy. The villagers make hasty generalizations because of their fear of the devil, their fear of sin, and their advantageous nature. Their belief that God damns all sinners makes them draw hasty conclusions to try to fulfill God’s work, which is taken to an extreme.
