thesis statements

-John Procter, Elizabeth Procter, and Abigail all have there reputation misrepresented in some way. Each one was being accused of witchcraft or lies to protect ones name.


-Reverend Parris, John Proctor, and Rebecca Nurse were the epitome of Salem's morals during the witchcraft trials. Although they all honored their reputation, they each had a different way of upholding their reputation


-The importance of one's reputation was strongly represented throughout the story to such an extent of doing what they believe

is best in order to keep their good name.


All three of these thesis statements are very strong. They get straight to the point. I can improve my thesis statement by not making it so plain.

"She is blackening my name in the village! She is telling lies about me!" (Pg. 23-24)

*She is telling lies about me


"I am innocent as the child unborn, but surely, what sin hath God found out in me unrepented of, that He should lay such an affliction on me in my old age."

*I am innocent as the child unborn
