Blog Two: Like me

I most indentify with the character, Rebecca Nurse, from The Crucible. She is a very caring and nurturing nurse of Salem. She is highly respected, which is unusual for women to have such respect. Rebecca is seven-two years old, a bit older then I, but I still find the connection. She is full of gentleness. When she walks into Betty's room, towards Betty's bed, "Gentleness exudes from her" (Miller 16). Rebecca has a lot of personal life experiences. She has "eleven children" and is the "twenty-six times a grandma," she has "seen them all through their silly seasons" (Miller 16). Rebecca is such a good nurse because of her experiences.

I indentify with Rebecca Nurse and her qualities. I am such a good babysitter because I too have a lot of personal experience. I have not eleven children but I do have ten younger family members whom I take care of, under the age of 11. I take care of them with kindness and gentleness. When I put my baby cousin to sleep, I rock her carefully and my softness allows for her to relax and be comfortable. I am respected by adults, as Rebecca is respected by men. It is rare for children to be respected by adults as it is for women in her time to be respected by men.

John Proctor from The Crucible is most like the author, Millers. Proctor has a little of the characteristics of all the characters. He is an all around character. He is a sinner but he accepts and gets past it. Miller when he was young, sinned in school, by not doing him best, but he got past that and became a great writing.
