Ben and I reviewed his homework to clarify and manage expectations. We continued to read Act II in 'The Crucible and discussed the change in the power dynamics amongst the characters. Ben chose Mary Warren as the character for whom this change is most apparent in the scene. We also examined the relationship between John Proctor and his wife, Elizabeth, and the reasons for her distrust of him. Ben was asked if he could make any personal connections regarding the issue of trust, and if he understands and agrees that Elizabeth's trust issues with John, her husband, are founded; he agreed that in his opinion, they were substantiated by his actions with Abigail.
