“A lie told often enough becomes the truth,” by Vladimir Lenin. This quote means when you hear anything, a lie or something true over and over, you will believe it because that is what you have been hearing. The play The Crucible, by Arthur Miller agrees with this quote in many ways.
A literary element that agrees with this quote and the play, The Crucible, is setting. The setting of this play is in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The people back then did not have much information, so it was harder to prove anything. Once someone heard a story over again it was just easy to believe it without thinking long about it. Then they would tell one person and all of a sudden everyone knows about it. The people just believed about the devil in the town because that is all they knew. Many of the people came to conclusions way to fast because they were to scared, and also, did not want to be accused.
Another literary element that agrees with this quote and the play, The Crucible, is characterization. Abigail was a very sneaky person who blamed anyone because she did not care about anyone else except for herself. She made people believe things that were not true. Abigail made believe that Elizabeth’s doll was a voodoo doll and she did witch craft to hurt her. Also, she made all the girls do and say what she said. Then the girls were scared they were going to get into trouble so they just believed what she was telling them.
A lie told often enough becomes the truth,” by Vladimir Lenin agrees with the play The Crucible, by Arthur Miller in various ways. If enough people hear a lie told convincingly enough, they will come to believe it, and so they will repeat it, and thinking what they are saying is true.

You're first paragraph is contradictory. In the first sentence, you say "a lie told often enough becomes the truth" and in the second sentence, you say "when you hear anything, a lie OR SOMETHING TRUE ..." Well which is it? And if it's both, then find another quote or write a statement that makes both true.
Second paragraph: "A literary element that agrees with this quote and the play, The Crucible, is setting. The setting of this play is in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692." Try to use different words. For instance, The setting, Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, is a literary element that agrees with the aforementioned quote and play.
This sentence: "Abigail was a very sneaky person who blamed anyone because she did not care about anyone else except for herself." should be reworded so it doesn't sound run-on.
You don't need to keep rewriting "The Crucible by Arthur Miller" and "Vladimir Lenin" after each time you use the quote or play name.
Otherwise, good content, and it seems you comprehend the material, and are adequately answering the question.

Good work. You have thought a lot over it. “A lie told often enough becomes the truth,” by Vladimir Lenin, is true even in all the practical life today. That is why all the government and advertising agencies use this to strengthen their false claims.
