Crucible Characters Act II

 

1. Each group will post, in the comments below, an analysis about your character(s)
2. You should describe the physical characteristics, temperament, social standing, important relationships, and, moral character from Act II.
3. Include at least three direct quotes and explain each quote's significance in understanding the character.. Note that the quotes may or may not be from the character but from another character who is either speaking to her/him or about her/him.
4. All members of your group are responsible for the accuracy and thoroughness of the character analysis, so I encourage all students to add, amend, and engage in the conversations we continue on this blog for Act II.
5. Since we have studied the Puritan beliefs and culture, you should include comments about your character within that cultural context, for example, how the Puritan tenets have worked for the later generations of Puritans and, is the theocratic government working to improve the social fabric of their lives, or not..

 

Note: At this point all of you should contribute and post toward your group's analysis

Puritans

John Smith and William Bradford

Do Review and Assess questions 1 – 7 in textbook, p85 and answer the following questions;

1. Why did the Native Americans first treat the Pilgrims with disdain?

2. Like all pilgrims, Bradford had a providential view of occurrences. (He believed that God determined everything

that happened) Find two examples from the selection in which Bradford states his belief that God is directing the fate of the Pilgrims.

3. Look over the treaty agreement carefully.  Does it favor one group over another? Explain.

4. Contrast the Puritan’s treatment of each other through illness with the sailor’s treatment of each other.

5. How did the sailors react to the kindness and pity shown to them in their illness from the Puritans?  What does this act of kindness tell you about the Pilgrims?
