Quote
1. I look for John Proctor that took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart! I never knew what pretense Salem was, I never knew the lying lessons I was taught by all these Christian women and their covenanted men! And now you bid me tear the light out of my eyes? I will not, I cannot! You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet!
Abigail Williams said this to show us her past relationship with John Proctor .As we see John Proctor may still be attracted to her, he is desperately trying to put this incident behind him. Abigail, on the other hand, has no such sense of closure, as this quote makesher point clear.
This shows how John Proctor back stabs Elizebeth in love.

Act 1 - Abigail
Act 1 - Abigail
3.Religion plays an important role in my daily life. It is everything to me. It affects everything I do, I think, eat or I base my decisions on. Religion is a very big part of my life; it gives me spiritual peace of mind and guides me through. It identifies me where I come from and where I am going to. In school, I learn more about Judaism and get to understand it better. I ask God's help in everything that I do, especially this year, which is really going to be rough one.
4.I always wanted to be a part of a community and a world that is larger than me, so that I can contribute and have some influence on my surrounding environment. It gives me a sense of belonging and I think it well worth the time spent. Personal relationships develop easier and often grow deeper when I participate in activities of local community.

1. Communism is an economic and political system which gives a way of living together equally in term of income, class level and it shares the production equally among the population. Communism is based on mutual cooperation, peace and justice instead of oppression. It ends the power of people over people. However, it gives a lot of power to the government and usually this makes the government corrupt. It is a branch of socialism ideology that was originated as Marxism by Karl Marx.
2. Karl Marx is the main key communist thinker and he created Marxism. Other key thinkers were Vladimir Lenin and Mao Ze-Dong of China.
3. The Cold War was a period of a great East-West power contest and conflict that began at the end of world war two and ended by early 1990’s. It fell short of full-scale war, characterized by mutual perceptions of hostile intention between military-political alliances or blocs.
4. The Americans believe in freedom and democracy but they were afraid Communism might spread further and global conflict in atomic age could kill more people than it has already.
5. McCarthy was the most visible public face of the 1950s era of anti-communism. Joseph McCarthy's fame as an anti-Communist began with a speech he delivered in 1950, in which he said that there were many Communists in the U.S. State Department, and that the State Department knew they were there.
6. McCarthyism is referred to a period of intense anti-Communist suspicion in America between late 1940s and late 1950s.
7. House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was an investigative committee in the U.S. House of Representatives.
8. Miller attending the hearing with Monroe, gave the committee a detailed account of his political activities. Miller refused to respond to committee’s request to reveal the names of his friends and colleagues who took part in similar activities, saying "I could not use the name of another person and bring trouble on him." As a result a judge found Miller guilty of contempt of Congress in May 1957 and Miller was fined $500, sentenced to thirty days in prison, blacklisted, and disallowed a U.S. passport. In 1958 his conviction was overturned by the court of appeals, which ruled that Miller had been misled by the chairman of HUAC.
