__**Evaluation Questions on** **//The Crucible//.**__

1. Do you think that Proctor made the right decision? What would you have done? In all honesty it is more likely than not that I would have been a coward and confessed to false charges, but the death Proctor chose is good in the fact that it is both honorable and follows his faith, so he did make the right choice. 2. Which (dynamic) characters experienced changes in the play? What changes did they undergo? Elizabeth underwent some quite large changes during the story. The largest change in her was her realization that it was her who drove John to lechery. She realizes the fact the she was so cold was the reason he cheated. 3. Have you ever experienced a change in life? I used to think Shaun was cool, but now I know much, much better. 4. Trust is a theme in this play. Elizabeth found it difficult to trust Proctor after he had an affair. When have you ever lost someone's trust? Was it difficult to get it back? Trust is something that must be earned and forged over a long time and numerous opportunites to again lose it, so naturally it will most likely difficult to regain after I made fun of Shaun on my wiki. However, Shaun and I are buds so i suspect that i will be able to rgain Shaun's trust again at some point. 5. Pick two other themes that you listed in the play. Give examples of times that you experienced these themes in your life. One other theme of the story was honesty, and I showed honesty in my life when I owned up to the fact that it was I who put all my trash on Shaun's lunch tray. However, I did that mean thing because I have hatred for Shaun, which is another theme in the story. I'm just kidding, I do not feel any hatred for any people in life except usually I hate people who commit genocide. Other than that, I keep my feelings toned to "great dislike" or softer. 1.
