The Crucible Cast List

Abigail "Abby" Williams: Rachael McAdams



I chose Rachel McAdams for Abby Williams because in the play "The Crucible", Abby is a young and beautiful woman who acts like a nice person, but she is really a liar and accuses people of things they didn't do.  Rachel McAdams, I think, would be the perfect person to play the role of Abby.  She is an amazing actress, she's gorgeous, and she's actually my favorite actress. Also, she has been in many movies while she was a good and a mean character.


John Proctor: Tom Cruise



I chose Tom Cruise for John Proctor because he is pretty young looking like so in the the play.  He is also a very great actor and can play pretty much any part in a movie.  I think he would be a great role for John Proctor.  He's one of my favorite actors and it would most likely be a great movie with him in it.


Goody Elizabeth Proctor: Cameron Diaz

I chose Cameron Diaz for Elizabeth Proctor because, she is way gorgeous and an amazing actress also.  She has actually starred in a movie with Tom Cruise, and so they are great together.  She can play almost all roles of any character because she is such a good actress.  I think she would be the perfect part for Elizabeth Proctor.

Mary Warren: Anne Hathaway



I chose Anne Hathaway for Mary Warren because, I think she would be the best part for her.  She is a very talented actress, she has been in many movies with many different roles, and she is way pretty.  She kind of has a shy look about her, and she would be a good house keeper role.

Reverend Samuel Parris: Robbin Williams

I chose Robbin Williams for Reverend Samuel Parris because, he is kind of an older man, and he is an amazing actor.  When it's time to be serious, he can be serious, and he can also have fun.  He has starred as a church leader in one of his movies, and so he would be perfect for the part.

Reverend John Hale: Owen Wilson

I chose Owen Wilson for Reverend John Hale because he is a young, funny man.  He is great at acting and can make pretty much anything fun.  Owen would be a good role for this part in my opinion.  He can act any part you give him.

Tituba: Whoopi Goldberg

I chose Whoopi Goldberg for Tituba because she would honestly be the greatest part for her.  Her acting is amazing, and she is also older and African American like Tituba is.  She could play the part perfectly.  I would definately choose her.

Thomas Putnam: George Clooney

I chose George Clooney for Thomas Putnam because, he is kind of an older man.  But he is a really great actor. I have seen many of the movies he has been in, and most of the ones I have seen were pretty amazing.  To me, he would be a really great part for Thomas Putnam.

Goody Ann Putnam: Julia Roberts

I chose Julia Roberts for Goody Ann Putnam because she is a little older, but not too old.  She looks young and she is pretty.  She is very good at what she does, and could probably act out anything. I've seen a lot of her movies and have been very impressed.  She's a perfect part.

Goody Rebecca Nurse: Sigourney Weaver

I chose Sigourney Weaver for Goody Rebecca Nurse because she would be great at this part.  She is very kind, and cares about others, and stands up for what she believes. So I think Sigourney would be a great actress for this part.  She is very talented.

Honesty Is Sometimes The Best Policy

    Is honesty always the best policy? When asked who chopped down the cherry tree, the father of our country- George Washington- cried back, "I cannot tell a lie."  "I chopped down the cherry tree with my little axe."  We have usually been taught that honesty is the best policy.  Is it really though?  I have chosen that honesty is sometimes the best policy because, you might not want to be honest if you have to tell someone something mean, or you could get hated by people by being too honest, and you probably wouldn't give your information to people you don't know.
    Lets say that your best friend has a severe case of body odor and can't understand why no one wants to sit next to her.  You wouldn't want to just come right out and say yes, it's because you stink.  That could hurt someones feelings!  If she asked you why, you could say something like, "Well if that's what the case is, then I could lend you some of this wonderful body spray that I use!"  Or even if someone asked you if the shirt they were wearing was ugly.  You could say something like, "Its not something that would look good on me, but it looks great on you!"  There is always a better way to say things.
    Sometimes, being too honest could get you into trouble or disliked by people.  For instance, if you witnessed a murder or something and the guys told you not to tell, but you did anyways, you could get killed or hurt.  For example, the Elizabeth Smart story, the people who kidnapped her told her that if she ever gave anyone signs or told someone, then they would kill her and her family.  Even if you tell someone you don't like the way they act, or what clothes they wear, they are probably not really going to like you.
    While on Facebook, you were asked your phone number.  You would say something like, "I don't have a phone."  Or someone came to your door or called you and asked to speak to your mom, but she's not home.  Saying "she's in the shower, can I take a message?" would be a good thing to say.  Also, if you were walking along the street, and a random old guy in a car asked where you live and if you need a ride, you could say you live right around the corner or your mom is right there. 
    So see, honesty is not always the best policy.  A lot of people think that it is.  There are many situations that you might not think of, that are situations where you should not tell the truth.  I have given many examples of when not to tell the complete truth.  Be aware of these things. They could happen to you or your siblings at any time.
