Arthur Miller expresses Empowerment in many different ways within the Salem society. The women of Salem have less empower than the men do and have dominated all choices for females. The woman work as servants for the men, this is only until the women are mature enough to get married and create offspring of their own. For example one of the portrayals of Empowerment is with John Proctor. In “His whip comes down.” The whips represents sexual dominance, toward Elizabeth. This also says that Elizabeth is a sex slave. John Proctor strips away her innocence when he commits adultery with her. This gives the reader that Arthur Miller has used John Proctor to show the empowerment that he holds.

Wes, this shows some interesting thinking. At times, though, your writing hinders the communication of your ideas.
Targets:
1) There is a difference between power and empowerment. Be sure you know the difference.
2) Root your discussion of the theme in an analysis of your quotation. You should really begin with the quotation and then introduce context, rather than the other way around.
3) You must proofread your work. Your final sentence doesn’t make any sense.
