For this assignment, write two argument paragraphs taking opposing perspectives on Arthur Miller’s Puritan society, considering the power bases you have seen demonstrated in the play. The first paragraph praises the Puritan society as represented in The Crucible as an ideal, master-planned community; the second paragraph condemns or criticizes the Puritan society as an oppressive theocracy. You may consider how issues such as the use of power, checks on power, social stability, personal freedom, culture, standards of living, sustainability, morality, education, and self-determination relate to your arguments for and against the Puritan way of life. Be sure to take into account what the characters say about their society. Your purpose is to influence the values and beliefs of your audience. Each paragraph should be no longer than 500 words and include examples from the play, outside readings, and your experiences and observations of society. PLEASE HELP
