For this assignment, I was asked to make a paragraph essay, comparing three different time periods using one theme.  The time periods were things that we had learned about.  The Crucible was the first, McCarthyism was the second and modern day was the third.  I decided to write an extra paragraph about another book,  Animal Farm.  The theme that I was writing about, is scapegoating.  I picked this theme, because it happened and still happens a lot (and it would be an interesting topic to research.  From this essay, I learned how to notice and see scapegoating in everyday life.
