The Crucible- True Colors

So we did this online test in class that shows us what our true colors are in terms of our personalities. My color was orange. Orange people are described as being kind of crazy, but at the same time good workers. I can see how the test gave me this result. My second color was blue. Blue people are described as being very emotional. This result also describes me pretty well, as I can be a bit emotional at times. My third color was green, which in a way contradicts my first two results. Green people are said to be very unemotional and are thought of as the thinkers. I do not understand how one of my results could say that I am very emotional and then the next result would say that I am not emotional. My last color was gold. Gold people are believed to be very organized. I am not an organized person so I guess it makes sense for that one to be last. I think that for the most part these results are pretty accurate, I could probably be considered all of these at times, based on where I am and what is going on around me. In the book, The Crucible, all of the characters in the book have very different personalities. The author shows the characters' true colors throughout the book based on the ways that the characters act and react to their surroundings and situations in the book. One character in the book The Crucible, is John Hale. I would describe John Hale as having a very green personality. Like I said before, People with green personalities are supposed to be unemotional and thinkers. John displays this kind of personality in the book a lot. In the book, John Hale is a very smart man. He is very clever, but he uses his cleverness for bad instead of good (Bloom 80). John's green personality caused him to be more of a thinker so he could think about things before acting which prevented him from making a lot of stupid mistakes. Another character in the book whose personality I want to discuss is Mary. I think that in the book, Mary shows a lot of personality traits of a blue personality. Blue people are suppose to be sort of emotional people. Mary can become emotional in this book. One example of a time when Mary became emotional was when she was ordered around in this book and it made her very mad. At one point in the book, Mary was ordered by John Procter to not go to the court anymore. She was tired of being told what to do, because she was eighteen and therefore an adult. She got very emotional when he tried to order her around and she yelled at Mr. Procter. I would consider Abigail a mixture of a blue personality and a green personality. Blue people are the emotional people and green people are the thinkers. In this book, Abigail is very clever and emotional in this book. She does not want to be blamed for withcraft, so in order to protect herself, she blames all the other women in the town. I think that she kind of freaked out so she did something very harsh to try to protect herself. To me, this seems like a very "blue" thing to do.
