Hello, class.
This is just a friendly reminder that your essays based on The Old Man and the Sea and October Sky are due today. Remember to attach a bibliography. If you submit your paper tomorrow, there will be a ten-point deduction.
Next on our plate is Arthur Miller's famous play, The Crucible. While we read this play, it is important to keep focus of the events that inspired Miller to create this piece. Miller is not merely commenting on colonial America in Salem, Massachusetts; he is also commenting on Washington, D.C. in the 1950s. Some would even argue that his play could represent America after September 11.
Your first vocabulary assignment that is associated with the play is due this Friday, October 9.
