.... physically, but made her resent him. Also, his teachings helped shape her into that of a duchess. Another person responsible for the changes in Eliza was Mrs. Pierce. Her involvement was more with Eliza’s appearance, rather than her personality. It was Mrs. Pierce who bathed Eliza that first day and it was Mrs. Pierce who kept her appearance refined.

If a person were to badmouth the government in other countries, they would be jailed or even put to death. In the U.S., people have the freedom of speech. Take for example, Allen Ginsburg’s poem, “America”, he spoke his mind and nothing happened to him. Americans sometimes take for granted the freedom and opportunity they have until they see what is happening in other countri .....

.... other things. The Crucible is certainly historically accurate in it's portrayal of the townspeople's beliefs and attitudes. It is a film that should be seen to view the way people were in the seventeenth century. Fear was probably the biggest reason for all of the happenings. Fear is what got the girls started on their accusations, as they were afraid to get in trouble. They knew that if they were thought to be conjuring spirits, they would be hung.
