I can give you the themes and you should be able to knock together your own essay:\n\nYou need to give it a modern twist - so how about comparing it to the current view of Muslims and terrorists (using the themes below). A certain A Grade.\n\n1) Intolerance\n\nThe Crucible is set in a theocratic society: the church and the state are one, religion is strict - known as Puritanism. moral laws and state laws are the same: sin and the status of an individual’s soul are matters of public concern. There is no room for deviation, since any individual whose private life doesn’t conform to the established moral laws represents a threat not only to the public good but also to the rule of God. In Salem, everything and everyone belongs to either God or the Devil; dissent is not merely unlawful, it is associated with satanic activity. This is underlying logic behind the witch trials. As Danforth says in Act III, “a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it.” The witch trials are the ultimate expression of intolerance (and hanging witches is the ultimate means of restoring the community’s purity.\n\nWE ARE INTOLLERENT OF MUSLIMS\n\n2) Hysteria - is tearing apart a community. Hysteria supplants logic and enables people to believe that their neighbors, whom they have always considered upstanding people, are committing absurd and unbelievable crimes—communing with the devil, killing babies, and so on. It also allows folk to air their pent up grievences and grudges.\n\nThe most obvious case is Abigail, who uses the situation to accuse Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft and have her sent to jail. But others thrive on the hysteria as well: Reverend Parris strengthens his position within the village, albeit temporarily, by making scapegoats of people like Proctor who question his authority. The wealthy, ambitious Thomas Putnam gains revenge on Francis Nurse by getting Rebecca, Francis’s virtuous wife, convicted of the supernatural murders of Ann Putnam’s babies. In the end, hysteria can thrive only because people benefit from it. It suspends the rules of daily life and allows the acting out of every dark desire and hateful urge under the cover of righteousness.\n\nWE THINK ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS\n\n3) Reputation\n\nReputation is tremendously important in theocratic Salem, where public and private moralities are one and the same. In an environment where reputation plays such an important role, the fear of guilt by association becomes particularly pernicious. Focused on maintaining public reputation, the townsfolk of Salem must fear that the sins of their friends and associates will taint their names. Various characters base their actions on the desire to protect their respective reputations. As the play begins, Parris fears that Abigail’s increasingly questionable actions, and the hints of witchcraft surrounding his daughter’s coma, will threaten his reputation and force him from the pulpit. Meanwhile, the protagonist, John Proctor, also seeks to keep his good name from being tarnished. Early in the play, he has a chance to put a stop to the girls’ accusations, but his desire to preserve his reputation keeps him from testifying against Abigail. At the end of the play, however, Proctor’s desire to keep his good name leads him to make the heroic choice not to make a false confession and to go to his death without signing his name to an untrue statement. “I have given you my soul; leave me my name!” he cries to Danforth in Act IV. By refusing to relinquish his name, he redeems himself for his earlier failure and dies with integrity.\n\nWE BELIEVE THAT MUSLIMS ARE BAD AS IT IS THE AMERICAN THING TO DO. OTHERWISE - WHAT OF THE REPUTATION OF OUR SOLDIERS IN IRAQ?

Abortion, War in Iraq, Euthanasia, President Bush, anything controversial, just make sure you know what side your teacher is on, considering she will be the one grading you.\n\nGood Luck and God bless.

You need to write a little plan, to explain to yourself what ground you are going to cover - that way the essay will be balanced.  For example, I have never heard of Ann Hutchinson, but you probably need to cover\n\nWhat you are going to show in the essay (you may need to write this bit last.  You could say something like - In this essay I propose to show how AH's influence in the world of whatever she was famous for was influenced by her background, and how her influence affected the future development of whatever it was)\n\nBirth and death dates.  Family circumstances\n\nHow she learnt to be good at whatever it was\n\nWHat her special contribution to her field was\n\nDid she have any difficulties?  What were they and what happened\n\nHow this influenced the field\n\nHope this helps

you should write about mob mentality, how people do things they know are wrong or that they disagree with just because everyone else does it.  or something about following tradition despite moral or religious objection.

Option 1: take a controversial topic and defend one side. (like abortion, immigration, national security, homosexuality, etc.)\n\nOption 2: take a ridiculous topic and defend one side (like "the sky is purple" "people should eat elephants" "convicts should eat each other" "Canada should annex Zimbabwe" etc"\n\nOption 3: take a mediocre topic and talk about it (like "people are good" "I should have an A on this presentation" etc.)

You could talk about Genetically Modified Foods (GMO) and microbiology, including whether it is good to add vitamins to rice and reduce our dependence on pesticides, or what impact does it have on 3rd world countries to sell seed that doesn't reproduce itself? Pick whether you think GMO is good or whether you want to argue against it. \n\nYou could talk about whether the use of stem cells is good or bad, including whether it could help cure disease and save lives or whether it kills life because it is from blasticists.  \n\nThere are so many topics to choose.  Choose one that is controversial and then persuade why it is good or bad.  Good luck to you!

I can't get into detail, but I'm in college and I just turned in my research paper, which is an argument essay. You need to do some research on your topic and acknowledge in a paragraph or page the opposing viewpoints and argue against them. I know it sucks, but get into much more depth. Don't just list the good points. Good luck and I hope that you get an A!

There a lots of great ways to start this paper.  If I were writing it, I would probably start out with some interesting statistics and maybe even tell the story of Governor George Ryan (IL) commuting all the death sentences in Illinois before he left office a few years ago.  Or you could open with a couple of stories on both sides of the argument.  Good luck writing this.

Be unique and let your writing speak for itself. Write a paper giving your opinion on a controversial matter or a hot topic in your school or community. Then either hang it up or pass it out at your school - campaigning with something like "Vote for me - School Journalist" or something similar to that.  Good Luck.
