Rhetorical Devices
A rhetorical device uses words in a certain way to convey meaning or to
persuade. It can also be a technique to evoke interest and emotion on the
part of the reader or audience.
Rhetorical Appeals: the three main avenues by which people are persuaded:
Logos: Strategy of reason, logic, or facts. Any type of argument which appeals
to someone’s rational side is appealing to logos.
Ethos: Strategy of credibility, authority, or character. Appeals to ethos
demonstrate the author’s trustworthiness, expertise and honesty and
attempt to put the author in a more positive light to the audience.
Pathos: Strategy of emotions and affect (the way the piece makes us feel).
Pathos appeals to an audience’s sense of anger, sorrow, pity, or excitement.

Forbidden Diary Entries
Writing—other than religious poems and praises—was not allowed by the Puritans.
What if one of the characters in The Crucible kept a “forbidden diary,” detailing his or her
thoughts and insights on the events occurring around them? For this assignment, you will select
ONE character from the character bank below. The character has been keeping a private diary
describing not only the events of the play, but also feelings, thoughts, and events that take place
outside the scope of the play. This diary reveals much about this person’s inner feelings,
motives, and reactions. This project will allow you to “become” one of these characters, and to
demonstrate your expert understanding of his or her character. Over the course of reading this
play, you must submit at least four separate diary entries written from the perspective of this
character. To start this project, follow the directions below.
1) Choose one (1) of the following possible diary authors:
John Proctor
Abigail Williams
Reverend Parris
Elizabeth Proctor
Rev. John Hale
2) Each entry must be at least a page in length (double-spaced) and will be uploaded to
TurnItIn.com. You must choose four (4) different selections from the following list:
*An entry describing a personal secret that is not revealed in the play itself.
*An entry describing something that takes place before the events of the play.
*An entry that describes something that takes place after the events of the play.
*An entry that takes an event from the play and tells it from another character’s
perspective.
* An entry about a character of your own invention that is somehow related to the events
or characters of The Crucible.
* An entry of self-reflection from your character.
* An entry where your character empathizes with one of the other characters.
* An entry that creates a list (either of people or things) related to something in the play
and tells us why this list is important to your chosen character.
* An entry in the form of an original poem or song (again, related to the play).
Grading: Each diary entry will be worth 15 points. Your diary entries should reflect that you
understand both the character and the play, which will be demonstrated through the use of
specific details from the text. Further, your writing should be proofread to ensure that there are
no mechanical or grammatical errors. Creativity and a chance to use vocabulary words are
welcomed. There will be 3 points deducted for every day it is late.
Due Dates:
Diary Entry #1—Dec. 5 (After completing Act 1)
Diary Entry #2—Dec. 11 (After completing Act 2)
Diary Entry #3—Dec. 15 (After completing Act 3)
Diary Entry #4—Dec. 19 (After completing Act 4)
