Question

Consider a historical event of interest to you. The crucible as a formatting template, compose a script for one act of a play representing the event, and use at least two literary techniques to communicate a theme. Your script should be at least 150 words.

Answer 1

As this question asks for a 150-word dramatic script, this is a task that only you can complete. However, we are nevertheless able to provide you with some guidance that might help you complete this task.

The play The Crucible is based on a historical event: the Salem witch trials. An example of an event I am interested in is the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears was the forced relocation of Native Americans in the United States. These were carried out as a consequence of the Indian Removal Act, and it led to the death of thousands of Native Americans.

Two techniques that I would use to develop the theme would be imagery and metaphor. Imagery would allow me to create a vivid picture of the events in the reader's mind. Metaphor would allow me to use comparisons in order to describe the meaning of the text.
