No sin will ever go unpunished regardless how harsh or innocent the sin. CENTRAL CLAIM
4
“ You have offended him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince; and yet it is nothing but his hands that holds you from falling into every moment. It is to be ascribed to nothing else, that you did not go to hell the last night; that you was suffered to wake again in this world after you closed your eyes to sleep.”(Edwards30). This quote is saying that no matter the the crime you will always be punished by God. Although it might not be a harsh punishment, the punishment might be something that makes you uncomfortable or something you would not like. The punishment could even be death which is the ultimate punishment for any sin. CENTRAL CLAIM ~ SUPPORT I
5
“The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you and is dreadfully provoked...” ( Edwards 30) This quote is saying that if you have committed a crime you’re going to get punished for it. No matter how little the crime was. Death was the major punishment for a sin. CENTRAL CLAIM ~ SUPPORT II

Danforth: “How were you instructed in your life? Do you not know that God damns all liars? She cannot speak. Or is it now that you lie? Mary Warren: “no, sir-I am with God now (Miller102).” -This quote ties into The Crucible by corruption and judgement Edward doesn't stay back when it comes to condemning the sinfulness of human beings. Those who show no regret are outwardly wicked and reject God. TEXT TO TEXT ~ CONNECTING THE CRUCIBLE TO EDWARDS

Proctor: “Spare me”! “You forget nothin and forgive nothin, learn charity woman. I have gone tiptoe in this house all seven months since she is gone. I have not moved from there to there without I think to please you and still an everlasting funeral marches in your heart”. (Miller,54) This quote connects the Crucible to the central claim by showing Proctor’s punishment. He has had to take Elizabeth’s suspicions and questions for 7 months since his act of Lechery and takes it. Proctor is also pressured to gain back Elizabeth’s trust, something he apparently still hasn't done. CONNECTION ~ SUPPORT I

Not long after the fever died, Parris was voted from office, walked out on the highroad, and was never heard of again. The legend has it Abigail turned up as a prostitute in Boston.(Miller, Echoes Down the Corridor) The after-story connects the Crucible to the central claim because it explains the later events of Parris and Abigail, both being liars in Salem towards the witch accusations. Paris lost his job, and Abigail not being able to stay in Salem to become a prostitute after her, assuming this is after her “trip” to Barbados. CONNECTION ~ SUPPORT II

Although a community built on the rules of God should ultimately help the community and make them stronger, God can also be used as a scare tactic in that one could be compromised in this process. SAMPLE THESIS
