(Abigail Williams perspective) 

Dear Diary,

Today my uncle Parris found out that we were in the woods “dancing”. I was so scared when he questioned

me about it, I thought he found out what we were really doing but when he asked me I came up with a cover up story that

we were just dancing. If my uncle, the reverend found out that we were trying to summon the devil he would literally kill

me. I was just trying to see if by contacting witch spirits I could get power to then have John Proctor be mine forever. That

is my dream I want him so badly and I know he wants me too but his boring wife Elizabeth is in the way of our

relationship. I know I shouldn’t be messing with witchcraft since I’m Puritan but I’ve been reading up on it secretly at night

when everyones asleep from Tituba’s secret library in her chamber and it’s powerful stuff that could get you anything you

desire if you sell your soul to the devil. When Tituba found out I stole her books she was furious. She threatened to tell

my uncle but I told her if she did I would blame it all on her and say she was forcing me into witchcraft. I felt bad about

going there with Tituba she’s always been so nice to me but I had to I couldn’t risk being known involved with witchcraft,

they would hang me! But when my uncle asked me again of the events of the night he saw us I got nervous and I

changed up the story, saying that Tituba was involved with calling the devil. I know I betrayed her but in the end she is

just our slave who works for us and everyone would have an easier time believing she is the cause of all the weird

occurrences rather than I. I just hope all of this can settle down and everyone can forget about it so I can get back to

trying to get back with John.

Rhetorical Devices A rhetorical device uses words in a certain way to convey meaning or to persuade. It can also be a technique to evoke interest and emotion on the part of the reader or audience.

Rhetorical Appeals: the three main avenues by which people are persuaded: Logos: Strategy of reason, logic, or facts. Any type of argument which appeals to someone’s rational side is appealing to logos.

Ethos: Strategy of credibility, authority, or character. Appeals to ethos demonstrate the author’s trustworthiness, expertise and honesty and attempt to put the author in a more positive light to the audience.

Pathos: Strategy of emotions and affect (the way the piece makes us feel). Pathos appeals to an audience’s sense of anger, sorrow, pity, or excitement.

Forbidden Diary Entries

Writing—other than religious poems and praises—was not allowed by the Puritans. What if one of the characters in The Crucible kept a “forbidden diary,” detailing his or her thoughts and insights on the events occurring around them? For this assignment, you will select ONE character from the character bank below. The character has been keeping a private diary describing not only the events of the play, but also feelings, thoughts, and events that take place outside the scope of the play. This diary reveals much about this person’s inner feelings, motives, and reactions. This project will allow you to “become” one of these characters, and to demonstrate your expert understanding of his or her character. Over the course of reading this play, you must submit at least four separate diary entries written from the perspective of this character. To start this project, follow the directions below. 1) Choose one (1) of the following possible diary authors:

2) Each entry must be at least a page in length (double-spaced) and will be uploaded to TurnItIn.com. You must choose four (4) different selections from the following list:

*An entry describing a personal secret that is not revealed in the play itself. *An entry describing something that takes place before the events of the play. *An entry that describes something that takes place after the events of the play. *An entry that takes an event from the play and tells it from another character’s perspective. * An entry about a character of your own invention that is somehow related to the events or characters of The Crucible. * An entry of self-reflection from your character. * An entry where your character empathizes with one of the other characters. * An entry that creates a list (either of people or things) related to something in the play and tells us why this list is important to your chosen character. * An entry in the form of an original poem or song (again, related to the play).

Grading: Each diary entry will be worth 15 points. Your diary entries should reflect that you understand both the character and the play, which will be demonstrated through the use of specific details from the text. Further, your writing should be proofread to ensure that there are no mechanical or grammatical errors. Creativity and a chance to use vocabulary words are welcomed. There will be 3 points deducted for every day it is late. Due Dates: Diary Entry #1—Dec. 5 (After completing Act 1)

Diary Entry #2—Dec. 11 (After completing Act 2) Diary Entry #3—Dec. 15 (After completing Act 3)

Diary Entry #4—Dec. 19 (After completing Act 4)
