you're lucky you don't get all my sons instead of the crucible.
crucible is good, if a bit too long.



i had to study all my sons this year, quite bad compared to millers other works.

hahah we listened to the book on tape for some reason and tituba'svoice was the funniest thing ever! her barbados voice was hilarious. but remember this actually didn't happen did it? i thought it was just miller talking about mcarthyism

Tituba's my girl.

Actually, I am at work right now in the computer lab and when I read that I burst out laughing.

Thank you Mister and thank you NS for supplying god times.

It isnt as bad as the scarlet letter because it is a play and thus they can't go on for hours about descriptions of fabric and shit.  There is an easy to follow plot and if the speaker has a calm voice it is very pleasant to fall asleep to.

Wow, from what I've read here, nobody seems to have an actual sense for or appreciation of literature. If you guys think readying that stuff is hard or 'blows' try reading Dickens or Laurence Sterne.

It wasn't hard, it was shit. It was boring, and I hated that book. I had to take a class in Sophmore year for American Lit., and I didn't read a single boook because they were all of those kinds of boring, crappy books. Our schools english department is so bad, because you have no options at all.

The book is supposed to talk aobut McCarthysim and it does this through the Salem witch hunts.

It's a bring book, if you want something decent to read try "Battle Royale" by Koushun Takami

wow. are you kidding me? i realize it was an allegory to the red scare. i did mention mcarthyism ya know. but the story isn't historically acurate. it is a dramatization. even arthur miller said it. i'll be so nice as to provide a link to the quote. next time you want to try to belittle someone to make you feel smart or cool on the internet, know what you are talking about.

its just as bad. but why would you actually read it when there are sparknotes on it. that will tell you everything you will ever need to know, and you won't have to read it.
