“More weight,” stated by Giles Corey from, “The Crucible,” before he was pressed to death for witchcraft. Giles Corey was one of the oldest people to be killed during the Salem Witch Trials. The Salem Witch Trials was a series of events that took place in 1692, where innocent people were hung for apparently being witches. The people in the trials were tried in court and the girls who accused them would act like the person or people were sending spirits towards them to make the judges believe them. Giles Corey reminds me of myself by his sarcasm during conversations, always acting ornery, and the comical remarks he makes. Giles Corey and I both use sarcasm in a regular basis. Giles Corey said, “Aye and well instructed in arithmetics,” when Proctor was adding the amount of firewood for Reverend Parris. Giles Corey never had a serious conversation, he always used sarcasm when talking to anyone. His sarcasm shows even in his wife when she goes to the court for being accused of casting spirits over the Walcott’s pigs. She was talking about how could she send spirits, even though she is not a witch, that she only knew they would die because she took care …show more content…
Giles Corey acts very ornery when Betty and the girls are found in the woods. He asks everyone, “When is she going to fly? I heard she flies,” to stir up conflict within the town. He also acts this way when Reverend Hale comes, even when he knows his wife reading books did not affect him he told Reverend Hale that he could not pray because his wife was reading books. When with friends I purposely try to make friends angered by pestering them until they get annoyed with me or mad at me. One time when Christian and Alex were fighting about girls I threw in a couple one liners to stir up a little more conflict. Also I would make comments towards each person about the other person to make it
“I’ll cut your throat, Putnam, I’ll kill you yet!” Giles Corey from The Crucible. Giles Corey said this because he was determined to see justice for the men Thomas Putnam has accused for witchcraft just for their land. They were sentenced Martha Corey to hang was why he was in the court to begin with so he could keep her from being hanged. Giles Corey was an 83 year’s, stubborn old man, who was pressed to death for not saying “Aye” or “Nay”.
In barry’s essay he says things that includes sarcasm. In an essay by Dave Barry,First Barry says “suddenly Jeffrey started stomping around the examination room, neck muscles bulging, denouncing the beer-can tossers of the world and waving his eyeball light around like the hammer of thor” (Barry 326).

Introduction Good morning distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you to the 24th annual Queensland Literary Symposium I’d like to highlight another prominent book that has captured readers with its engaging and thrilling storyline alone with significant aspects of human society and culture The story I specifically refer to is none other but the novel Jasper Jones Written by the Australian author Craig Silvery, Jasper Jones was set in the scorching summer of Western Australia in 1965.
It is hard to settle on the choice if Father Flynn is pure or liable. In John Patrick Shanley's Doubt; a story, he overshadows reality extremely well. The scenes about the toy, the outdoors trip and the undershirt cause much disarray; bringing about the gathering of people to do a reversal and forward in their psyches and uncertainty Father Flynn. Law says that individuals are honest until demonstrated blameworthy albeit; practically, everybody realizes that individuals are liable until demonstrated guiltless. It is exceptionally conceivable that Father Fynn is just helping Donald, in light of the fact that he is less lucky than alternate understudies at his school; and it is likewise extremely conceivable that he is molesting so as to harm the tyke him.
He argues for what he believes is right even if it might not seem ethical. “I never said my wife were a witch, Mr. Hale; I only said she were reading books!”(Miller 68), after Giles sees his wife get arrested. This shows he is being stubborn and is fighting for what he believes even if it may seem that it is not the proper way to handle the situation. Another reason Giles is stubborn is because in the text it states, “I have evidence. Why will you not hear my evidence?”(Miller 78).
The Purpose Of Leadership To be a purposeful and successful leader it isn't just about being in charge and telling people what they can and cannot do. As the successful business leader simon says in The Servant by James C. Hunter “The key to leadership is accomplishing the tasks at hand while building relationships.” This quote explains that it's not about what you do and say it's about how you do it and how it's makes either your business or just your life more successful. Some people might want to lead and become well known in their career but they're not going to make it in any industry. Adults could volunteer to lead people like john daily did with his baseball team. .
Giles Corey tries to present evidence to Judge Danforth to save his wife who was accused of witchcraft, but Danforth responds to him in anger. ¨
Callarman provides a strong analysis in which I disagree on many aspects. He gives his own opinion in which Chris McCandless lives his life after he graduates and travels around the United States. He leaves everything and even burns his money because he wanted to live just how he is and enjoy what nature brought to him. His final destination was Alaska in which he wanted to go to get away from everything and that’s where he lived his last days of his life. I was saying I disagreed with Shaun Callarman because I believe he did have common sense and was a bright man.
The upbringing of a child contains many factors, many of which correlate to where a child grows up. The people, culture, and experiences of someone’s childhood are the greatest determining factor for what kind of person they will become. So how does the nature and nurture of one’s upbringing impact the decisions that they make, and their life in general? Author Wes Moore explores this question in his memoir, The Other Wes Moore, as it relates to two lives in particular. Moore main purpose in this book is to explore the overarching impact that a collection of expectations and decisions, not always one’s own, can have on someone’s life.
and i’ll burn in hell long enough for that. I stand mute”(Miller 1254). Also Giles courageously refused to confess, even though confessing would have saved his life. " More weight"(Miller

One time there was a concert happening in Pittsburgh that I really wanted to go to, but my dad didn’t want me to go. He felt it was unsafe because at the time there was a lot of terroristic crimes happening at concerts and public places. Being strong-willed, stubborn, and loyal are all characteristics that I share with Giles Corey. We would do anything for our loved ones and principles even if it comes at a great cost. I would take action if something was wrong along with Giles Corey.
She believed it was witchcraft was the reason because rumors of it was going around.
