Crucible Response
While reading the Crucible, people tend to say that this story is "universal and enduring", which means it is affecting the world and is long-lasting. They think that because people have used the methods (except the executions, rarely) that was used in the book. It almost reflects to the trials that happened in our courts of law (Casey Anthony trial, McMartin Preschool trial, etc.) and reflects to the punishments that have been given to those who were found guilty. The play's message, however, wasn't too sure about it, but I think of it as a reminder to all of us. Don't come to the conclusion of something that may be false, take the time to research what the source may be.

I agree with what ed said. There was a lot of "universal and enduring" in the book. That's a good way to connect back to the book, by talking about the Casey Anthony trial. The people found guilt should have punishments. Yes the message is like a reminder to us.
