This is a good site because it discusses several different views of Miller's possible reasons for writing The Crucible. This site provides insight of the true historical events in Salem, states that Miller was a moral writer, and shows Miller's different techniques for dealing with the devil. I believe that this site is good because it gives a wide variety of background on Miller and his reasons for writing The Crucible.

2. How are McCarthyism, the Red Scare, Arthur Miller and The Crucible interrelated?
This site actually includes all four components of the question and provides information on all too. In this site you will find the different phases of the Red Scare from the effects on movies to the changes in government. I also found valuable information on different phases of the Red Scare. This site gives details to what actually happened during that time period and how these four are interrelated.

3. Document other times in American History when 'witch hunts' were conducted and discuss the outcomes of the Salem witch hunt and the other witch hunts you find. What do they all have in common?
This site provides information of 'witch hunts' to expose gay clergyman. People have found two Roman Catholic Priests gay. One person is responsible for uncovering the shameful truth behind all of this. Even though, she is receiving criticism for her actions, I believe she did the right thing. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article1945860.ece

Wow Randall this first site is really long, but has good information about why Miller wrote the Crucible. I found a lot of interesting info that I didn't know before. Good job!
Randall, you did an amazing job at describing what the sites where about, they really caught my eye. I also agree with you that she did the right thing. Good Job.
Hey, I guess I didn't realize there was a second Red Scare also. I like your second site. It was really helpful.
Great summarizations. They each tell a little about the site and describe the site well. Great job blogging!
1. Your first site is way too long, but it looks fairly descriptive of what I did have a chance to read.
2. This site is the best I've seen so far, great job! I love this link.
3. Great idea & link for this, great job Randall!
Good Job Randall! You descriped your sites really well. Keep up the good work.
You might want to add another site to question number to for some more support. Good Job!
1. Your first site was very information, but really long. Make sure you do a good job of summing it all up in your blog.
2. The second site was kind of boring to read. I didn't realize that there was a second Red Scare so it was informational. I think if you sum your sites up saying what information is found in each one, browsers will find your sites helpful.
3. Good job with the American Witch Hunts. I would have never thought about the Catholic priests.
You may want to add more than just one site to each question, just a suggestion!
Keep up the good work!
Great sites Randall. All are relevant and trustworthy. The second one is written by a professor (Dr. Hill). Great research. I learned quite a bit from your sites. Now comment on the witch hunt of priests. How is it like the Salem witch hunts. What are the characterisics they share. Outcomes?
The first site is really long. I haven't seen your sites on anyone else's yet. You have great descriptions of your sites. Your blog is nice an organized and easy to read. Nice job!
Hey Randall! your first website is extremally long..but very informative.
your secound website is pretty good also except effects on movies part doesn't really relate to what you need to be talking about it.
you last website it great its interesting to learn about catholics exposing gay clergy is great, way to relate this to another witch hunt that has happened in the United States! great job!!
1) There is so much information there. It seams that Miller was extremely interested in these trials and history.
2) I too found this site but it’s just difficult for me to put together all of the information in order to get the point.
3) That’s pretty harsh…but definitely a witch-hunt. Perhaps he had communicated with gays; big deal, they are humans too. God forgives all right?
1.Your first site does a good job in explaning Miller's reasonings for why he wrote The Crucible.
2. This second website is interesting in how it explains McCarthyism and The Red Scare
it made me understand it better.
3. This website was a good site because is explained how the gays and catholics were involved in websites.
Great sites. First one was a little long to read by skimming went pretty well.
I liked your second site a lot. It had a lot of in-depth information that was valuable to this assignment.
The last link was interesting... Make sure it's an American witch hunt. She prefers it.
1) This is really interesting. I had no idea he had so many reasons for writing the play.
2) This was also interesting. the Red Scare has really different phases.
3) I found this site kind of funny. Gay priests! haha
1.) This site is a little intimidating to read when you see how long it is, but your summary did a good job at showing me which part of the page to focus on...good info!
2.) Good site--it hits all of the points of the question and in an easy-to-read style!
3.) All I can say is wow, this is such a controversial topic!
1. This first site was so long that I didn't know where to begin, but I did like how many angles it covered. It showed Miller from so many different points of view and his reasons for writing the play according to these points.
2. I liked how your second site was outlined chronologically. It seemed organized and less overwhelming. It only has a tiny section about the crucible, though.
3.It is wierd that this is considered a witch hunt since it is really exposing bad guys. It is contrasting to our other examples and provides a unique point of veiw. It expands the definition of a witch hunt even further.
Good Job!
Randall...you might want to make it so you have two sites for each question to help back up the first site. Otherwise, everything looks good.
I liked the sites and found them very informative, and you did a great job on your descriptions. Good Job.
1)Although this site was long it had good info on why Miller thought on how/what to write about.
2)I didnt know that there were two Red Scares in the 40's and 50's. It was useful and very helpful.
3)Your example of a witch hunt was somewhat unusual with catholics and exposing the gays. It was interesting though.
You did a great job describing your sites, and found a very interesting witch hunt to write about. Yet it would be nice if you added just a lil more info for describing the 2nd question's site, and possibly angle it towards catching the reader's eye. great job!
1. This first site is informative and its long to cover a lot of different things.
2. I really like this site, especially how its in outline format.
3. This topic was different, but it was interesting to consider it a witch hunt.
The first site is a bit long Ran.
You did a good job summarizing on the sites.
The third one was good. It had a good site and you had a good idea.
I chose the same site about why Miller wrote The Crucible, and it gives some great information--Miller really did have a lot of different reasons for writing this piece!
