1- his full real name is Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald and he was named after the guy who wrote the National Anthem
2-I think that he was old money and new money because some of the money he had was inherited form Mollie Fitzgerald and he went to high class school's such as the Newman School wich was a Catholic Prep school but he was new money because he went to many low class bars and drank wich wasnt classy.
3-Prohabition is the act of prohibiting by authority and Speakeasies is underground bars where drinks were illegally sold because of prohabition. This was relevant to the great gatsby because it says in The Eighteenth Amendment (1919) to the Constitution forbade the manufacture, sale, import, or export of intoxicating liquors
4-Traditionally, Americans have sought to realise the American dream of success, fame and wealth through thrift and hard work.
5-"life liberty and the persuit of happiness"
6-World war one just ended and because of it their were alot of depths to be paid and that caused the econamy to fall apart.
7-I think that this picture shows a rode to america and how it leads to succsess with that women holding money on the other side of the rode .

I think that Abigail is the most interesting character in the book." I look for John Proctor that took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart! I never knew what pretense Salem was, I never knew the lying lessons I was taught by all these Christian women and their covenanted men! And now you bid me tear the light out of my eyes? I will not, I cannot! You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet!" After everything she has done to ruin John Proctor's life and his wife, Abigail stills believes that John wants her and he will forgive her for everything that she has done. What is she thinking!" I want to open myself! . . . I want the light of God, I want the sweet love of Jesus! I danced for the Devil; I saw him, I wrote in his book; I go back to Jesus; I kiss His hand. I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!" Abigail shows in this quote and she was so absorebed in lying and she didnt want to get the blame on anything so she blames it on someone else.

This symbolizes abigail because throughout the book Abigail is the cause for so many deaths. When she accuses someone of doing witchcraft they end up being hung. Because of Abigail so many inocent people died. She was like the symbol of death if you got to close to her then she would tell on you and you would die.

1- I cant believe their are rumors going on about me that i've done witchcraft and the devil was apon me! how could they think that, i've been so loyal to these people serving them! I can't believe nurse beth would blame it on me! She is the devil but I wont let her get to me I will overcome this.
4- Right now in my position as a black woman, i'm the safest in the Puritan community. Although I would prefer a place with more of my kind I know that I would be treated the best here. I do not agree with some things that the Puritan people do but they do have some pity and strongly believe in god like I do. Hopefully these people will not turn against me.
