In "The Crucible, can you give me some quotes in the scene where Mary Warren accuses John Proctor?

Mary Warren
initially went to the court to confess that she and the girls had been pretending.  However,
just as she had predicted at the end of Act  Two ("They'll turn on me!  I cannot!"),
Abby and the girls did in fact turn on her.  They cried out, insisting that Mary's familiar
spirt came into the courtroom in the form of a yellow bird that was going to claw Abby's face. 
Judge Danforth immediately picks up on the cue, and asks Mary if she is a witch, and asks John
if he is somehow forcing Mary to turn on the girls.

When Danforth suggests
Mary will hang for being a witch, Mary finally caves, and turns on John, calling him a
"Devil's man" (look at the very, very end of Act Three for the quotes you need) who
had come to her with his black book to sign, and forced her to come to the courts to overthrow
them.  This is truly sad, as she was the last thread of hope that Proctor had for saving his
wife and friends.

How did the Treaty of Versailles punish Germany after World War I?

The Treaty
of Versailles stripped Germany of a considerable amount of territory, slashed the size of the
German armed forces, and imposed massive reparations payments on the postwar German government.
All of this was based on a so-called "war guilt" clause in the Treaty in which the
Germans accepted full responsibility for starting the war. The terms, which were imposed upon
the new Weimar Republic that governed Germany after the war, were humiliating for the Germans,
and contributed to a toxic politicalin postwar Germany that facilitated the rise of political
extremists like the Nazis. Moreover, the reparations payments were ruinous to the German economy
in the short term. The German government struggled to make the payments, and France actually
occupied the Saar Valley in order to enforce them. Runaway inflation set in that brought the
economy and the Weimar government to the brink of collapse in the mid-1920s. Above all, the fact
that the Treaty was signed by the Weimar government (the Kaiser having abdicated at the end of
the war) made it very unpopular across the political spectrum.

What is a good thesis statement about To Kill a Mockingbird with the theme of protecting the innocent?

When students are struggling to find a thesis
statement for an argumentative or position paper, they are likely also struggling to envision
what the body paragraphs will contain. Therefore, I often instruct such students to try to craft
a thesis statement that provides the key points they plan to make in 3 body paragraphs, lending
the outline for the paper.

A possible thesis statement following the
parameters you've provided could be this:

In various plot
developments, , Tom Robinson, and Arthur "Boo" Radley show that innocence is a worthy
value and one worth protecting.

In three paragraphs that
follow, you could take each character individually and demonstrate how this is established
through each character's conflicts.

Scout innocently tried to explain the
world of Maycomb to her young and inexperienced teacher--and received a reprimand because of
it.smooths things over and promises that they can keep reading together as long as she doesn't
mention it to her teacher. At Calpurnia's church, the children are confronted about their
presence at an all-black church, and this division is something that has never crossed Scout's
mind. In fact, she begins to question Calpurnia's "double life" in working with the
Finch household and attending church and notes how she even speaks differently. At the trial,
people try to shield Scout from the details of the alleged rape.

Tom Robinson
is innocent of the rape and assault he's accused of, yet he is convicted, anyway. His physical
limitations make it impossible that he could have done the things Mayella claims, and Atticus
works tirelessly and without the support of almost everyone in town to try and protect his
innocence. Although Tom is convicted, there is evidence (such as the racist Mr. Underwood's
editorial after Tom dies) that Atticus has begun to shift the public's racist sentiments in his
town.

is a recluse who rarely emerges from his home, and this makes him the
subject of great childhood speculation for years. Atticus instructs his children to leave the
man alone as what he does inside his own house is his own business. Boo Radley is a defender of
the innocent himself, and it's clear that he keeps a watchful eye on the children as evidenced
by his knowledge that they are in danger from Bob Ewell's schemes of angry retaliation. When Bob
attempts to kill them after the play, it is Boo who rescues them and risks his own life to save
theirs. The ability of one innocent to rescue another is a powerful message within the story.

I hope this provides you with some ideas that you can work with as you craft
a thesis that really speaks to you. You might also choose any one of theseand show how it is
impossible to completely shield innocence forever as all threedo face the negative outcomes of
various conflicts. Scout emerges with a more mature understanding of the world around her. Tom
dies for crimes he never committed. Boo must face evil in order to save an innocent child. So
while it is noble to protect the innocent, maintaining complete innocence in a world that also
contains evil is an impossible feat.

How does the film of "Hills Like White Elephants" highlight new understandings of the story?

The best
thing about the short film adaptation of Hemingway's "" written by Joan Dideon and
John Gregory Dunn was the cinematography. The twin railroad tracks with the little bar room
looked exactly as I pictured them when reading the story. The bleak landscape seemed exactly the
same as Hemingway described it, although I didn't notice any hills that looked like white
elephants. The authors stretched out the story by adding a lot of their own dialogue--which I
found offensive since they can't write dialogue as good as Hemingway's and since it seems like a
desecration to plaster their own mediocre dialogue on top of the existing dialogue. In fact, it
amazed me that anybody would even think of doing such a thing--but apparently they felt that the
film would have had too short a running time if they didn't do something to stretch it out. They
didn't improve on it or make it any more understandable. The photographer and the director did
succeed in making the setting easier to visualize. The two main characters--the man and the
woman--didn't look anything like the people I imagined while reading the story. They really
don't have much to talk about, since it is the same thing over and over: "I want you to do
it" ... "I don't want to do it." I noticed in the credits that the character
played by the actress was called Hadley, which was the name of Hemingway's first wife. She
actually did have a baby at around the same time that Hemingway published the story--so the
screenwriters must have believed, as I do, that the American and the "girl" in
Hemingway's story were married and that he was writing about his own personal
experience.

What is an example of symbolism in Romeo and Juliet act 2, scene 2?

The
symbol of poison introduced byin act 2, scene 2, has great significance in
. As the good Friar introduces us to his little bag of potions, he comments
somewhat ominously on how poisons aren't intrinsically evil, but only made so by the uses to
which they are put.

How does Eliot explore how he finds meaning in life through religion in "The Journey of the Magi"?

In the
"Journey of the Magi," Eliot's narrator imagines what the journey was like for the
three magi who visited the infant Jesus soon after his birth in the New Testament book of
Matthew 2: 1-12.

The story recounted in Eliot's poem is told in the first
person voice of one of the magi. He first tells of how cold and miserable the journey was. The
three magi often regretted having embarked on it, and wished they had stayed in their
comfortable homes. They were charged high prices to stay in dirty villages, and they wondered if
it had been mistake to venture forth.

Finally they do come to a
"temperate" valley, where the weather is warmer. They find it
"satisfactory."

The religious message emerges primarily in the
third stanza. In the first two stanzas, the speaker uses the first person plural form,
"we," speaking for the feelings of all three of the magi. In the third stanza, he
sometimes moves to "I," suggesting that a religious conversion experience has
components that are highly personal and also components that are communal.

The speaker says in stanza three that he saw a birth but that it was also a death: the
death of his old way of living and thinking. He had thought birth and death were different, but
in witnessing this birththe birth of Jesushe and the other magi experienced the death of their
old outlooks on life. This was not so much a joyous event as a very difficult one. It was
painful for all three of the magi, he says:

Hard and
bitter agony for us

It was an agony like
"death" to witness Jesus and all that he represented to the world because it meant
they would no longer be the same people.

The magi return to their old
kingdoms but they have been transformed. This causes them to be "no longer at ease" in
their own cultures. They now feel alien in their homelands.

This speaks to a
common experience of people who have had genuine religious conversions. Suddenly, they
experience the whole world differently. What they had thought was most important suddenly comes
to seem insignificant. What had once seemed trivial now seems all important. Religious
conversion, Eliot is saying, is a painful process of death and rebirth, reached through
suffering and sacrifice, as symbolized by the cold, wearying journey of the magi. It not simply
an experience of joy, but an experience that demands a change so profound it feels like the
death.
