The Crucible (With Picture)

     I wasn't able to watch The Crucible so my post is not based off of the play as everyone else's is. Abigail is a huge influence throughout this story. Abigail is the reason why the girls met with Tituba in the woods in the beginning. When Parris found them Abigail does what she can to try to cover up why she brought them to the woods. She was going to try to put a spell on Elizabeth Proctor but she can't admit to that because that will expose her affair with John Proctor. She tries to put this event off on the other girls by continuously lying and saying that they are the ones trying to cast the spell. Throughout the story Abigail lies in her attempts to keep her self preservation and threatens the other girls violently, when they do not follow her. Her constant threats and attempt to stay with John Proctor leads to her intimidation over the other girls and influences their decisions and words throughout.

Search for Stevie

Our adventure began with our very own university mascot, Stevie Pointer, being kidnapped by the Anglo Saxons. The Anglo Saxons gave us one opportunity to get Stevie back, but in order to do so we had to play their sick little game of Clue. Unfortunately for them, while they were busy raiding and pillaging we were at work rescuing our beloved English Pointer hound.

Our first clue began with staying on the third floor. We were directed to go find the CD collection and look for a certain album. the album we needed to observe was at M 1630. 18 R64. It turned out to be a Rolling Stones album and had hundreds of other albums accompanying it. There was such a variety that anyone could put their collection to use.

After receiving our clue on the fourth way we made our way up to the fifth floor via the stairwell. We walked passed many areas that could be helpful to any student that needs to find information or study for a little while. These places include archives, a computer lab, and a laptop lounge with a beautiful and relaxing view. The fourth floor clue brought us to an area of books that someone could check out if they needed to do some reasearch. We ended up finding a hostage that was trapped in a cage who had the next clue to Stevies location. He bravely told us to not worry about him and to find Stevie as soon as we could. His courage this day shall not be forgotten.

After parting with the brave hostage our search took us to the second floor where we had to search through a large number of magazines in order to find our next clue. The selection of magazines was expansive and ranged from politics to the arts and sciences. The clue then brought us to the worker at the front desk of this section of the library and she gave us the next clue in our investigation.

Those vikings told us that in order to get Stevie back we needed to have a great understanding of what he looks like. We decided to make our trek down to the first floor because of the wide variety of reference books the campus offers. Our clue was to observe page 196 of the Encyclopedia of the Dog, which was the page of the English Pointer. Our team relayed that information onto the resource attendant who pushed us forward onto the clue needed.

After searching through encyclopedia after encyclopedia and finally finding page 196, the page that contained the information we needed to continue our search. We were told to locate a well known comedian at PN 2287 C5. We knew we had to go to the fourth floor. Upon arriving we located the call number and discovered that comedian was Charlie Chaplin.

After paying a visit to Charlie Chaplin, we had to go all the way back down to the fourth floor and investigate the museum of natural history. There were many exhibits about animals and other such things in nature. One of the most interesting sections of the museum was the large collection of bird eggs called the August J. Schoenebeck egg collection that rested towards the back of the exhibit. Still no trace of Stevie, but we were lucky enough to find another clue.

The next clue we followed lead us to the discovery of a shark that had been let loose inside of the building. We figured that sharks inside of a library must not be normal, and that this could possibly be the final clue we needed to rescue Stevie. We ran back down to the first floor as fast as we could to try and stop this shark from hurting any innocent civilians. By the time we got down to the first floor the shark had gotten wind of our arrival and left, but we managed to find the last clue that we needed.

We sat for what seemed like hours trying to solve the riddle that Stevies captures had laid before. Whoever wrote these clues was a twisted professional at what he does to say the least. But eventually, we managed to solve the riddle and find our beloved Stevie on the Fifth floor archives. It was a long and hard day, but we pulled through and rescued Stevie from the clutches of evil.

Facebook

I have a Facebook and I use it quite a bit. I use it to stay in touch with friends, up to date on sports, and stay "in the know" on other events.  It is convenient to talk with people who don't know how to text message very well (older generations).  I don't use any other types of social media, except for Snapchat, but maybe someday I'll get a LinkdIn.  I will wait until I become a big business man first though.  Right now I do not have a Twitter, Instagram, Kik, Myspace, or any other type of networking because I think that most of them are stupid and a waste of time.

My Playlist

Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles

Imagine - John Lennon

Welcome To The Jungle - Guns ‘N Roses

Thunderstruck - ACDC

Don’t Fear (The Reaper) - Blue Oyster Cult

I chose these songs because they each are a ‘favorite’ of mine. Strawberry Fields Forever is my favorite song by The Beatles, my favorite band. Imagine is my favorite John Lennon song, who is my favorite artist. Welcome To The Jungle is my favorite workout song and brings back memories from every summer since my freshman year of highschool. Thunderstruck is my favorite song from football. We were the Thunderbirds and Thunderstruck was our song. Lastly, Don’t Fear (The Reaper) is my favorite song of all time. I heard all of these songs my freshman year, not necessarily for the first time. It was then that those songs hit me and they became a favorite of mine. This playlist will probably tell viewers that I enjoy listening to older music more than current music, I also don’t listen to ‘empty’ music. The songs I listen to generally have an underlying meaning behind them, hence none of the current top music. Viewers would not be able to tell my entire preference of music from just these few songs. I tend to like most everything. I’ll listen to anything from Eric Church to Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed to Daft Punk, and Bullet For My Valentine to Bob Dylan. Viewers would probably assume that all I listen to is ‘70s and ‘80s which as previously stated is not completely true.
