this project due wednesday is stressing me out

So me and becca havent done much for this project which is so many points due wednesday. Our scene is going to be very hard to memorize and i have to find a catholic priests costume. Im not catholic and dont have any friends who are catholic priests so that might create a problem. I should've started working on homework before now but I was really busy this weekend. Now I'm paying for it. Becca and I still need to come up with an origional thesis on drama, and both of us are really challenged by that. I dont know what shes going to do for her costume either. I really like our scene and I think were going to focus on the plot aspect of drama. Im a little confused on what Im supposed to be writing on this blog and I hope this isnt totally wrong. I think once I write the individual scene analysis, the speech will be easier to write. So, I'm going to go do that.

First Posting

Reading the Crucible has been really interesting. I started out not being too interested in what it was about or how it was written. As I got into it however, I started really liking it. It turned out to be a fairly easy read. The only hard thing is remembering all the characters and their roles in the plot. It's hard to think about this happening in the 50s, I keep thinking its in like the 1600s for some reason. So far, the most interesting character in my opinion is Abigail. Shes quite a monster but she adds lots of interest in the overall plot. I think Proctor is a very good character, and I think hes a nice guy deep down. I also believe that he loves his wife. I'm interested in getting a better look at the rest of the characters in acts 3 and 4, which I havent finished yet.
