Today I was sitting on Physics and I figured out what Im gonna write about here today. BUT i forgot ( haha of course!!). So now I dont know.
I started to read 'romeo and juliette' in English and its kinda not easy u know. all of these 'thee, thy, thine, thou...' lol! why did they use it?? Also i like this one: 'ay' or 'nay'. haha. but i remember this from 'the crucible'.
Actually, 'the crucible' is a really cool play.. I've read it in American school and I really liked it. It was written during Cold War and when everyone in the US were trying to figure out communists, so in this play there is a part where people start accussing each other in witchcraft.The author(Arthur Miller) described metaphorically what was happening in the american society back then and it didnt end up good... There is a movie based on this play - it called 'the crucible' too with Wanona Ryder. But what does 'crucible' mean? Usually, its a container where you can melt different mixed metals and then you get gold separately, for example. So thats what was happening back then: people tried to illuminate evil from them.
After we have read it and watched a movie, we did a research based on Salem Witch Trials.. It surprised me a lot. IT REALLY DID HAPPEN! lol. I mean, we can't know whether those people who were killed were witches or not. Other facts which surprised me too were that some men were considered as witches and one was killed by people throwing stones at him... Also, there were a few little girls (age 4 may be.. or 5) and they were witches too! I think it's crazy... and it's really mysterious.
