A bad choice that I would go back and change would be when I broke my arm. When I was little I was playing a game in the back yard, it was kind of like tag. My sister was it and I was running away from her so I went to the backyard, I found my way blocked by a padlocked gate and a fence. Anyone who knows me also knows that I absolutely hate to lose at almost anything. So me being myself I wasn’t about to admit defeat to my slightly older sister, running to the fence I thought to myself I can climb this. So despite my parents many warnings about not climbing fences because I will fall and hurt myself, I proceeded to climb it. When I got to the top my foot got caught and I fell head first to the other side. Instead of taking the brunt of the force on my head I stretched out my arm and locked it. My arm hit and came right back it was excruciating pain. I went inside and my mom insisted that it wasn’t broken so we didn’t go to the doctor’s for about 3 hours. Finally when I convinced her it was really hurting we went in only to discover that I had fractured my arm from my thumb up about half way up to my elbow. In the story the crucible Mr. Proctor is terribly sorry for cheating on his wife and out of anything I bet he wishes he could go back and change what happened, just like me and my broken arm. Since neither of us can go back it is important to learn from our mistakes, he learned not to do that and to love his wife, I learned not to climb fences. One of the only things that you can really do to avoid these situations is don’t climb fences. In other words don’t tread the line and try to do what your suppose to and these things won’t occur, not that they won’t always occur you just have a lesser chance that they happen to you.

I think we all have experienced a time when we or someone we knew was judged unfairly. My time that is very vivid in my mind happened this year in the Central High School commons (which is our lunch room). While sitting down talking with our friends after we had finished eating and put our trays away. Norma the Racist security guard came to our table. Now sitting right on our right side was a group of kids that were Native American, in between our two groups of kids was a dirty tray that someone had not put away. Norma came over to our table told us to take care of it. We told her the tray did not belong to us, so she pushed it down to the other kids they also said it was not theirs. This is very likely though because of the amounts of kids that eat there it is possible that a previous kid had left the tray there. Then Norma came back to us and just automatically assumed that the tray belonged to us because those kids said it did. She told us to take care of it. We told her again it was not ours, she proceeded to tell us that she was going to look at the tapes and if she found out it was our tray we would all be in trouble. This really made me mad because she was taking the Native Americans side over ours; there have been many other cases just like this involving Norma.  (I do not have a problem with Native Americans jus with people treating them differently then us). Finally I was going to tell her that we should go watch the tape when my friend Chris got up and just took care of the tray. We were all accused unfairly just as they were in the story the Crucible. In this story instead of trays though they had people being charged for being witches, it involved the officials believing one group of people over another group of people. This is all very wrong and shouldn’t happen.

He lived through the depression, his dad was a clothing manufacturer. They were not to bad before the depression but afterward they were hurt. Arthur Miller didn’t go to college right out of high school he had to save up some money so he could afford to go.

Miller was widely acknowledged as the country’s most important playwright

“A lot of my work goes to the center of where we belong — if there is any root to life — because nowadays the family is broken up, and people don’t live in the same place for very long,” Miller said in a 1988 interview.
