Members of the House Un-American Activities Committee target screenwriters, directors, and others who made their living in the movie industry because they feared that the would make popular movies that promoted communist ideas.

We are talking about the Red Scare years, in which Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy accused many members of the federal government, the US military and people from Hollywood to have ties with Communists. His political persecution reached members of the film industry that were imprisoned for being suspects of having ties with Communists and could include Communist ideas on film.

Read the excerpt and answer the question.
Dima020 [189]
When new people come into town, there are bound to be those filled with curiosity to see who this new person is. There will be people who will want to accommodate the new person and guide them to places. But this does not mean that the new people who have come to our town can be rude and unmannerly. We have as much curiosity as you and when you come into our town we hope that we can be able to accommodate you and have opportunities to meet up. But because some people who come into our town forget about good manners and show great rudeness we cannot guide you , we cannot observe you even if we wish to. That is why we have to hide behind bushes where you are going to pass. And we are to never intrude ourselves into your company because we do not wish to be met with rudeness.

The idea I think Franklin is conveying in this excerpt is that when you go into a new place into someone else’s town. Do not forget your manners and do not be rude because if those in the town are met with your rudeness they may not want to accommodate you anymore.
