Post by: Felicity Wishes on October 28, 2012, 08:30:03 pm: Ask questions of the prompt.
Do you think compromise is important?
Does The Crucible show this?
What other issues in society rely on compromise? (I think the journey of Asylum Seekers fits well with this prompt imo)

Yes. They want to escape the conflict in their location but they have to make huge sacrifices.
In terms of The Crucible, I think you could talk about John Proctor's solution to the witch trials. He realised that there was no easy way to defeat the conflict so it lead to him to remaining true and sacrificing his good name. Hence, a compromise for the greater good of the town.
