I found act 3 very amusing because the blame was being thrown around in the court room just like the previous Acts. Mary freaked out towards the end which was funny because I could imagine Proctors face during her outbreak. I would've look at her with disgust and ignorance. Now Mary got John Proctor in trouble and John Proctor and Giles Corey are booked. I also like how Danforth layed down the law by saying "You're either with this court or against it" because it showed his power which I can relate to. He was acting like a mom in the court. This Act was all over the place and was kind of confusing. I don't think Giles Corey and John Procter should be convicted. I think Mary should be convicted because she went crazy and Proctor just responded with being crazy to match her craziness. This is what I thought about Act 3 in the Crucible.

Response to Crucible Act 2
I like this act because they are a whole lot of accusation without hard evidence. I find it weird how everything is playing out. For instance the needle in the dolls stomach and the needle in Abigail's stomach and that was proof of witchcraft. I also think Proctor is bogus because hes not trying to put Abigail on blast because he doesn't want to get caught with adultery. If I was Proctor I would do what is right and save my wife then some lady I had an affair with. I'm pretty sure Elizabeth would forgive him if he did that. Proctor has his back against the wall and is basically depending on everyone else to help him out. I think everyone is guilty in some for or another. If everyone is going to get punished then ok but the people that are convicted of witchcraft should not go through the process to see if they are witches.

Notes
1. Chicago's “Little Italy” developed in the Near West Side around Halsted and Taylor Streets near
Jane Addams's Hull House in the
late nineteenth century. Upon their arrival in the area, Italians quickly established their own cultural,
social, and religious institutions, such as Our Lady of Pompeii and the Holy
Guardian Angel Roman Catholic
churches. (6)
2. By the 1870s a small middle class had gradually replaced the wealthy families around Union Park. But as early as the city's incorporation in 1837, the area already contained the seeds of what would come: residential areas divided along ethnic, economic, and racial lines. (8)
3. Tri-Taylor Historic District, a national landmark neighborhood, is located just west of the Medical Center on Oakley from Grenshaw to Congress Parkway. An historic port of entry for new immigrants, this area was once packed with people from all over the world at the turn of the century. Today, this growing area is stabilized by the University of Illinois at Chicago and Chicago’s medical district. (3)
4. By 1998 UIC enrolled 25,000 students in 15 colleges, making it the largest university in the Chicago area. A major economic engine, it employed about 12,000 people with a budget of approximately a billion dollars. By the turn of the century, one of every 73 Chicagoans over age 21 was a UIC graduate. (10)
5. The university opened in 1965, and college students -- attracted in part by the traditionally low prices at Greek restaurants -- supported places like Diana Grocery and Restaurant, a cozy deli with a few tables in back. In 1968, the Parthenon Restaurant opened and quickly introduced a new flourish to the world: flaming saganaki, accompanied by a waiter's shout of "Opa!" (5)
6. The Hull House is a settlement house that was set up by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr. It is located on Halsted. They fought for child labor laws and women suffrage. (12)
7. The background of the picture look trashy. The people have lost faith in Daley because they seen no change. The community Idea that Daley had didn't come into an affect yet. (19)
8. Daley constructed the University of Illinois in Chicago-Chicago Circle and he enlarged our chicago airport OHARE. Mayor Daley produced a promise for a better community. (11)
9. The Greek population is starting to grow around the University of Illinois in Chicago's location. In the early 1900 hundreds Greektown was the best known urban community of Greeks. (9)
10. Many Irish immigrants settled in Near West Side. Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr opened Hull house in this area. The University expanding almost destroyed the Maxwell street market. (8)
11. Many African Americans and Mexicans moved into the Near West Side in the 1930's and 1940's. The Chicago Circle expressway wiped out a significant part of Greektown. The construction of the University of Illinois resulted in the demolition of Italian Neighborhoods. (8)
12. Jane Addams was the founder of the Hull House which was located in the Near West Side. She got help from Chicago Reporters to find a suitable house. She chose her house in between all the immigrant groups.(13)
13. German and Irish immigrants settled in Pilsen. Turned from Eastern European residents to Mexican residents. The creation of thousands of unskilled jobs invited many Bohemian Immigrants. (14)
14. Mexicans changed the Pilsen Neighborhood by decorating it. Immigration Laws kicked Mexicans out of the Near West Side to expand the University of Illinois at Chicago which made many move into Pilsen. (14)
15. Ellen Gates Starr was active in the reform of child labor laws and women suffrage. She was a member of Womens trade union league. Established the Hull House with Jane Addams. (16)
16. The Chicago College of Pharmacy became part of the University of Illinois. U.I.C was called Circle Campus. Largest University in Chicago. (10)
17. This picture explains the hard times of the community. They knew if U.I.C was in their neighborhood then it will be better. (19)

Response to Crucible Act 1
While reading the Crucible I noticed that there were many grudges within the community in Salem. People were fighting over the little things and putting the blame on each other. When someone was accused of something they slapped someone else with it. This was ironic to me because its like an arms race to innocence in a way. This also reminds me of the cold war when The US and The USSR had an Arms race to see who is better. The one thing I didn't like about Act 1 is the whippings and the rest of the punishments were public so the whole town can see. The one thing I thought was funny is when Parris thought he saw someone running naked through the trees. I liked and found it amusing when Proctor got caught up in his affair with Abigail and tried to play it off like it was cool. I think the Author reaches many points and uses alot of symbolism in this act.
