Title: In 1953, legendary writer Arthur Miller

In 1953, legendary writer Arthur Miller depicted
a story based on actual facts facts which remain
horrifying even to this day, despite being based
on events which took place over 300 years
ago.The story is a terrifying depiction of how
the accusations of a group of children stirred
up such fear in their small community that it
led to persecution and hangings. But, what makes
the story so touching even till this day is that
it applies to all witchhunts yes, witch
hunts taking place every day.

Welcome
to the story of

It is the spring of 1692. The small town of
Salem, MA had been established a mere forty years
earlier, and had yet to make it its mark on the
rest of the world. However, while not all were
immediately aware, 1692 would be a year of
revolution in America. No longer was everyone
willing to adhere to the strict lifestyle that
had been set down by their forefathers. While
the town of Salem may have appeared to be a
serene and enjoyable place to live, it was about
to experience an event that would change their
lives forever. Little did they know, though,
that their story would still have a tremendous
effect on us today.

But, what really makes The Crucible so special
even to this day, is that the story applies to
the events that we witness right before our own
eyes. Yes, we have allowed witch hunts to
continually take place, proving that we have yet
to correct the mistakes that were made over 300
years ago.
