Old_Man_And_The_Sea

Old Man And The Sea In the books that we have read this semester there are two books that I chose to write about the first being The Old Man and the Sea and the second being The Crucible. The reason I chose these two books is because I feel that if there are driving forces inside of every person that make a person do bad things there also should be something inside of all of us to make us do good. I think that these two books illustrate that there are in fact both kinds of these driving forces. In some cases both of these forces are present and in others there is only one present. The Crucible was set in a very strange time when people were looking for religious freedom. These same people who wanted to be left alone to profess their religion moved to the present day Massachusetts where they tried to push their religion onto those who already lived there. Already you can see the contradiction, these people wished to be free and when they got their wish they wanted to force their beliefs upon others. The overall theme of this book was man, old, sea, forces, people, inside, driving, sea, person, crucible, time, out, good, force, books, being, bad, two, shows, present, others, order, make, go, different, catch, both, wrong, whether, wanted, very, things, themselves, set, second, right
