Thesis Statements and Embedding Quotes

1.
-The people that reputation was really held against was Abigail,
Rebecca Nurse, and John Proctor.
-Three characters that show reoccurring examples of this are Reverend Parris, John Proctor, and Abbigail Williams. All of them will go to great lengths to make sure their names stay "white" in the village.
-In the play, Parris , Abigail , Giles, and John Proctor have fought well with their internal conflict in order to maintain their good reputation in Salem.

I chose these thesis statements because they answer the question, give categories, and state their position.

2.
- Abigail denies any word of her doing witchcraft to keep "[her name] good in the village"(pg 12).
-She says that Elizabeth is "blackening [her] name in the village" to make herself look better and to put down Elizabeth's name by saying that "she is telling lies about [Abigail]" (pg. 23-24).
-John's reputation is so important to him that he asks "God in Heaven, what is John Proctor, what is John Proctor?" and John answers himself what he hopes people think about him, "... I think [I am] honest, I think so; I am no saint. " (pg. 138).

The first day of school led to the last day of three kids lives. Yaquiline, the lothario, Yessica, the maverick, and Yanessa, the nemesis of Yaquiline. On that day, they expirienced a philippic between each other in english class. It started fine, they all sat down in class while Mr. Schreiber introduced himself and the class. They figured out he was a jingoist, because he was wearing a red, white, and blue tuxedo. But after seeing that, they realized who was amongst them. . . the infamous “Y Ladies.”
Yaqualine, and Yanessa, hated each other because Yaqualine took a bite of Yanessa’s Spicy Chicken Sandwhich, which led to Yanessa calling Yaqualin tawdry. Yaqualine, or “Yaquie”, stated that as a philanderer, she slept with Yanessa’s boyfriend. Yanessa’s previous view of as a quixotic young girl, immedietly went away.
One day Yessica came to school and yelled at Yanessa and Yaqualine using solecism, Yessica couldn’t say anything because she felt saturnine beacause of all those spicy chicken burgers that she ate. Yaqualine didnt really care because she was a procrustean, she was tired of arguing. So the rivalry between Yanessa and Yaqualine came to an end. Many people say it was a Pyrrhic victory, because even after the arguement, they still were not friends.
But the wierd part of the story is, why didn’t Yessica get involved? She has the spoonerism of words that confuses the Y Ladies to death. But recently she found the Y Ladies protean and unbearable. She could have won this arguement and be the number one Y lady and live in sybarite for the rest of her life!!

poem of roots

Movies are plainly actions in photographs with audio
The way videos are blended makes movies incredible
I predict that movies will keep motivating other directors to be better
local life of the population will revolve around spectacular movies
until strict parents will petition rated r movies.

project reflection

I think our group could have done better. We didn't act out the script and we just read it. I think it was okay though. We spent three days in class working on it.
