WHICH IS THE BEST
REPLACEMENT FOR THE
UNDERLINED PORTION?
A. NO CHANGE
B. English speaker and
one who was not.
C. English speaker or a
person, not an English
speaker.
D. English speaker.
Logically, the question is asking
whether the speaker would like
to live with someone who
speaks English or someone who
does not speak English. The
term whether only requires one
side of a two-sided situation
(e.g. “I don’t know whether she
has a roommate,” not “I don’t
know whether she has a
roommate or lives by herself.”)

Euphemism
Euphemism vs
Colloquialism vs Idiom
• Colloquialism - Informal or familiar language,
such as contractions (I,e. "Y'all come back now,
hear?")
• Euphemism - A metaphor whose literal
meaning is dropped; often used as substitutions
for curse words or to 'soften' a literal meaning
(i.e., dang, shoot, "passed on" instead of "died")
• Idiom - A phrase whose meaning cannot be
inferred by literal definition, and can only be
known through common use ("that's the way the
cookie crumbles," "wrong side of the tracks,"
etc)
Standard:
The real Abigail Williams was 11
years old in 1692 and had not had
an illicit relationship with John
Proctor. How would the play be
different if Miller had not presented
a different version of history? What
would be lost?

perspective. Relying extensively on
quotations from your novel and your
four sources, explain how the different
cultural perceptions of sin have affected
your two shunned individuals and
Hester Prynne.

Review Act 2
Read Act 3
• What is John Proctor’s goal in bringing Mary Warren to
the court?
Reading Comp Questions
• Proctor brings Danforth the signatures of ninety-one
people who have a good opinion of the accused. What
does the judge do with that list?
• Why does Proctor admit to his wrong behavior – having
a relationship with Abigail
• What three things does Danforth learn about Abigail
that make him begin to doubt her character?
• Abigail and the other accusers act as if Mary Warren
has used witchcraft against them. How does Mary
eventually respond to their actions?
Analysis Questions
Recognizing Verbal Irony:
• The stage directions in lines 1136-1138 state: “They all
watch, as Abigail, out ofher infinite charity, reaches out
and draws the sobbing Mary to her, and then looks up
to Danforth.” Explain the irony in this.
Making Judgments:
• Is Deputy Governor Danforth a fair judge? Explain
your answer.

• Why does Elizabeth Proctor lies to the judge about her
husband’s relationship with Abigail?
