The Crucible

During this week in class, we continued reading The Crucible Acts 2 and 3.  I have been listening to the audio book for these acts, as Ms. Besl told us to.  I have really enjoyed listening to it.  I have talked to a lot of other students who are also reading this book right now but have a different teacher than we do and have to actually read the book.  All of the kids that I have talked to said that they have not enjoyed the book at all.  I, on the other hand, feel the exact opposite and have loved the book so far.  I have been finding it very interesting to learn about how people actually thought of witchcraft.  Before reading this book, I knew that witchcraft was a major issue in America's history but hearing an actual story has been really cool.  The actors in the recording, I feel, have done a really accurate job portraying their characters.  It makes the whole book itself seem more interesting.  The court scene in act 3 has been my favorite part so far.  It is so intense and it was so amusing to just sit and listen to the whole event unravel.  I am so excited to keep reading and see how the whole thing comes together and ends.  I hope that the ending makes sense and ends with a conclusion rather than a sentence that leave the audience hanging and left with a little of suspense still left.
