Yeah!! Me too. Bad thing is my teacher's only reading the book with us and telling us what it's about every now and then. She tells us nothing about belonging. So yes..I'm screwed.


I'm planning to do 'Looking for Alibrandi' for one of my related texts. Is that a good idea? Will I be able to make links?

Re: crucible related texts

There are lots of examples of belonging in The Crucible. At the most basic of levels: Salem wants John Proctor to belong, John Proctor doesnt want to belong. All the other ones stem from that core conflict of the play...

I got a good book called the promise of the wolves by Dorothy Hearst. Im using that for my related text in THE CRUCIBLE.

Re: crucible related texts

So far I've used Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka - the way each 'act' of the story ends at a dramatic moment is similar to how it's used in The Crucible, and I've used Buffy the Vampire Slayer 3x11 - "Gingerbread" which is about persecution of outsiders and mass hysteria etc.

In The Crucible's case, I thought it was more about conforming than belonging. I think The Crucible is more a text about not belonging.

John Proctor feels he doesn't belong to the Puritan community after sleeping with Abigail. While John Proctor wants to belong, Abigail doesn't want to live the Puritan lifestyle after her "eyes have been opened".

As for a suitable related text, Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult is a good novel (although, it may be too similar to Crucible).
Anything with the idea of not wanting to belong or maybe even peer pressure will work.

BELONGING: The crucible

My class is studying the Crucible at the moment and we are suppsoe to find texts that relate so we can compare OR contrast...

the story is based on the salem tragedy (the witchcraft trials of 1962)...
anyways it touches on heaps of themes in belonging but the one i was thinking of concentrating on is community vs individual:

"But you must understand, sir, that a person is either with the court or he must be counted against it, there be no road inbetween"

Salem is a tight knit community where there in no privacy. Individual activities are focused upon and if they were undesireable (not going to church, dealing with witchcraft) they would be cast out to try and keep the community together. People were put under great pressure to confess(if they didn't they were hung), but to confess they had to give the name of another "wrong doer", so eventually it spirals out of control and people start using the confessions as a way to get revenge or aquire land...

so does anyone know any texts that would follow the lines of this concept.. or any other themes of belong (be it social, political, religious, moral, physical, sexual or any others)

any help would be appreciated


thanks people.. peace

Yeh anywho, i also hav 2 find related material for belonging, and sum how relate it to crucible, i was ttelln my teacher that it would be kind of hard relating text to a book like that , but he said, u dnt exactly hav to find the simililarities of both texts, or the differences, saying for eg in this text, it says this about belonging, whist in this text it means sumthn else. he said u can jjust talk about how both texts , show the concept of belonging, and if its possibile to link ur raletd text to the crucible, to do it then, but i think i/u shuld still somhow relate our texts to the crucible
but yeh im not sure, my teacher said we can do it like that, shes gona mark it correct , the way she told us to set it out, im not too sure wat u teacher wuld say
