Why are we reading The Crucible?

           If I was going to pick something from the crucible to compare to my life it would be when Proctor and Abigail had a thing together. It just stood out to me because i found it really inappreate! He used her and then didnt want to have anything to do with her at all after. Even though he was married they should of known that sex creates strong feelings towards one another. Then again guys do think differently about these situtations so lets leave it at that.
          The situation that is related to this in my life would have to be shopping. Once I see something I want someone else in the same size falls in love with it first and had grabed it before me. There is already not a big  selection in size S, you have to buy something right away or chances are when you walk back to get it it will be gone already. Then you leave the store all sad and think about it all the time like, if I would have just stopped and made up my mind before hand I wouldnt be in this bad situtation in the first place. But thats how life goes, lots of screw ups and wishing you would have done things differently.

What it means to be an American

           The things that are unique about American literature is that we all live similar lives. As in, the things we have in common with each other, day by day we go about our lives doing pretty much all the same things like; we get up go to school and work, eat gunk food, come home, be lazy while sitting on the couch watching TV, then go to sleep and repeat the same thing the next day. Also, we have the same short of goals and dreams. It all starts in kinder garden when we see our roll models being big stars and people who save lives. Then, we hope someday we will grow up to be someone like them.
          Stories, poetry, plays and novels created by Americans tell us that American culture is we have to many stereotypes. For example, the mid eastern people think we are all evil and the European people think we are rich snobs. I don't believe in stereotypes because you shouldn't judge anyone before you meet them no matter what culture or race you are and most the time you will be surprised that their not who you thought they were. Its great to be an American because most countries don't come even close to having the rights we have and we don't realize how much we take advantage of that.
