extreme at some times. An instance of Proctor's extremity was when he

of them burn in hell. That statement implied to the court that Proctor

Summary Of Terkel's My American Century
Number of words: 860 - Number of pages: 4.... reading doesn't really concentrate on all of the things he did
as a Klan member, except to say that he did particularly “hate” one of the
black people in town more than most-Ann Atwater. He claimed to hate her

To make a long story short, Mr. Ellis began going to meetings for
the city council or something of that sort. It was there that he decided
he could start .....

Wife Of Bath
Number of words: 264 - Number of pages: 1.... of true love. The reason why
she has gone through so many husbands is because her ideal husband is one who
