Nicholas Lemann begins his book “Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War” with the 1873 Colfax, Louisiana massacre where a White League militia comprised of former Confederate soldiers killed black Republican voters. The Colfax massacre was perhaps the bloodiest event of Reconstruction. Lemann views this event as a startup of what would happen later in Mississippi if Federal troops did not defend black voters. Lemann blames Ulysses S. Grant’s Secretary of War, William W. Belknap, for not stopping the White Line activity in Louisiana and Mississippi. Grant had worked hard to stop the Ku Klux Klan in the early 1870s with Congress passing legislation and Federal troops putting down Klan activity.
The film “Wit” delved into the hospitalization of Dr. Vivian Bearing once she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, delving into topics like the dehumanization of patients as a result of the hospital culture. I found this movie very memorable and emotional, because it went through influential scenes that made me feel connected to Dr. Vivian. The movie also used the differences between the patient’s conversations with the nurse and with her former student, Jason to emphasize the dehumanization of patients. Whenever Jason visited her, he focused on trying to figure out whether the current treatment that she is on is effective, instead of seeing her more as an actual person who was suffering from physical and emotional pain. I was initially very
In the play John Proctor makes the descision to tell the court that he had relations with Abigail Williams. This results in Elizabeth having to answer a tough question. Is your husband a lecher? Even though Elizabeth truly knows the answer she chooses to say no. This crucible questions elizabeths ability to tell the truth while selling her husband out.
In the Play based on the novel by Anne Frank a young girl who died during the evilness of the holocaust. When Mr. Frank finds Anne's book he reads a specific quote that has much meaning and truth of what happened to Anne in the holocaust. The quote by Anne Frank comes at the end of the play, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. " This quote shows and means a lot in the story telling that even though through all of the evil and sadness Anne went through she still believed their is good in all people. This quote illustrates the importance of Anne's story.
In The Crucible, there could be many suspects to blame for the innocent deaths that happened in Salem. Proctor could be blamed for the innocent deaths because he lied about his affair with Abigail. Speaking of Abigail... in my opinion Abigail Williams is the one to blame for the innocent deaths because of the lies she told, the accusations she made, and the affair she had with John Proctor. Abigail Williams told many, many lies in The Crucible. The reason the witch trials began in the first place was because of the lie she told about being in the woods.
In Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible Abigail Williams Changes from a powerful maniac with a lot of power over the town of Salem, to a scared little girl with no power over the town. This is because the town was beginning to realize that there are no witches and Abigail was was starting to notice that people are realizing that and so she took Parris’s money and ran away. In the beginning Abigail had no power, but all throughout the first act she slowly grew in power over the town of Salem, she gains her power by doing witchcraft in the woods and then blaming her witchcraft on other people.
this becomes evident when she says "why,it is a lie, how may I damn myself,I cannot, I cannot. Even though Nurse had the oppurtunity to falsely confess and survive, she decided to retain her integrity despite paying the ultimate sacrifice. The textual feature of Nurse,s dialogue emphasises her goodness and reason. For example,in act 4, she says "let you hear nothing, another judgement awaits us all as she and John Proctor are led to the gallows. Another textual feature used to show the idiocy of the trials is irony.
At the end of of Act II of The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the state of life in Salem was not easy. People were unhappy and accusations were being made every which way about who was using witchcraft that night in the woods. Abigail Williams is trying to blame everyone else for what she did. She is like the mean girl of these times. Everything is chaotic in the town.
Every person has both the capacity for good, and evil. In the religious context of The Onion, redemption is always attainable, even if someone has only ever done a single good deed. Redemption in the story comes from what is in a person's heart and soul. If a person was bad in life, but in death displayed that they were capable of being good, if they could repent through a final good deed--then they were redeemed.
Characters are constantly dealing with different conflicts in the play, as they are condoning the truth by lying to protect themselves and the ones they love.

We never touched, Abby” (Miller Act 1). The Crucible by Arthur Miller is an incredibly complex play depicting the fictional events of the Salem Witch Trials. If one is to begin to dissect the contents of said play, you must look at it from a psychological point of view. Particularly, a view of Freudian psychology might provide insight as to why some characters made certain decisions and carried out the actions they did. Using a Freudian psychological lens to examine The Crucible, readers can take a closer look at the actions of John Proctor and Abigail Williams and form hypotheses as to their deeper motives.

The movie Wit (Bosanquet & Nichols, 2001) focuses on Dr. Vivian Bearing, an English professor who is diagnosed with an aggressive form of ovarian cancer. It chronicle’s Vivian’s experiences with her health care team up until her death. Throughout the movie her doctors, Doctor Kelekian and his fellows, most notably Jason, make many errors while treating Vivian. They communicate with Vivian in ways that make her feel overwhelmed and uncomfortable, violate ethical principles by ignoring her autonomy and not sharing critical information about her health with her, and failing to addressed her spiritual needs. Vivian’s nurse, Susie, does her best to care for Vivian.
I found this movie interesting because I agree with what the film implied on how all patient share a commonality called vulnerability. In the movie Wit, you are allowed a peek into the medical world that shows disregard for humanity. The film revolves around an English professor, Vivian Bearing, being diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer, the treatment, and how her professional status is taken away for being a patient. A major theme of this movie is dependency on others by chronicling Vivian 's trial treatment and it allows the viewers a peek into the world of a patient dying from cancer. After watching the film, I noticed that there were a lot of significant moral issues, which correlates with the nursing profession.
