How does Abigail compromise her uncle's job in the crucible?
Abigail's uncle, Reverend Parris, is viewed as the town's spiritual leader; it is his sole duty to bring God into their lives. With the news of witches and magic making an appearance, the town looked to Parris with hopes that he would have an answer and would know what to do. Abigail compromised his position because she was caught dancing in the forest and drinking chicken's blood (which was viewed as witch craft in the 1600's). When word of this got out, Parris' position in the town was compromised because the "holy leader" had a niece who was accused of witchcraft herself. With this happening, the town began to question whether or not they could truly trust their Reverend.

What is reverend Hale's personality in act 1?
Reverend Hale, in act 1, seems to be slightly conceited. He says that his books are, 'weighted with authority.' He also considers himself to be as knowledgeable and intelligent as doctors and other high ranked citizens. However, he is just taking pride in his job. He thinks he witch hunts for a good cause and to help the people of Beverly and Salem, therefore showing his pride in his work.
What are Parris' reasons for being insecure in act 1 The Crucible?
He is a paranoid figure in the play. His thoughts revolved strongly around his reputation, wealth, and his job. In the beginning, his predominant reason for being worried about Betty Parris was that if word got out about him, a healthily religious reverend, having a daughter who was overtaken by witchcraft, the rest of the town would likely not trust him as much to protect them from the evils of witchcraft anymore. That would certainly hurt his reputation within the town, as well as outside the town, should word have gotten around. Personally, id Wikipedia the guy just to make sure what i wrote is completely right. the only part that i have slight concerns on the validity of is in the first sentence with mentioning his wealth as a main concern. I put it in there because Mr. Proctor mentions how all Parris would ever seem to care about was golden holsters for the candles on the podium of the church where he would speak to the town in religious sessions and stuff.
Why is Reverend Parris dissatisfied with his job in Salem?
It was apparently a hard job. In the first fifteen years Salem Village had a church, they had had three ministers before Parris showed up in 1688. None of the previous had left on good terms or with all their money. That's not a good thing. There wasn't a real sense of community in Salem Village because of the separation between homes in the farming community, so the people had a habit of not getting along and turning to the reverend to help them. He either was a bad mediator or the Salem Villagers didn't want to make peace. He did some relatively stupid things, like asking for title to his rectory (which was owned by the town, like the church) and buying gold candlesticks for the church. Such actions were frowned upon. There were some issues about paying Parris and giving him his firewood. Summary: The Salemites were a difficult bunch to deal with and Parris was sort of naive and bad with people.
What is Parris' main concern?
In The Crucible, the main concern of Reverend Parris cropped up when he found the girls in the woods dancing naked. He was afraid his reputation would be damaged, and that he would lose his job at the parish. This occurs in Act 1.
Why doesn't Parris want to tell anyone that Betty is bewitched?
The community of Salem will use it against him and claim that witchcraft is present in his own household. Therefore, he is putting his job, reputation and possibly other material benefits (such as his house) he has because of being Minister at risk. In The Crucible, it is evident that Parris's motive is driven by his desire for material things (golden candlesticks, requesting title deeds for his house). Parris aims to protect these benefits.
