Congratulations! You have officially completed a basic analytical study of the drama, "The Crucible", how does it feel? Do you feel that you acquired any new knowledge that you might internalize? Please provide a post with some sort of specific commentary to this, and agree or disagree with your fellow students.

Afterwards go on to:
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29263781

Reflect for a few moments on what you have read. Post a commentary on what your reaction is to this particular situation, and as always remember to read the other post and agree or disagree. By the way, those of you that always post 1st or 2nd, you should go back on sometime during the weekend to see what the other students are posting.

You might want to goggle Mr. Sharpton to get some background info on him, and The New York Post to see what type of publication or history this publication has.

I'm looking forward to starting the novel, "The Scarlet Letter", with all of the classes, and starting an awesome new project.

That's it for now and enjoy the weekend!
