Hello. You did not indicate which scene and which play you are referring to. However, Arthur Miller's plays have many scenes of situational irony and the author uses this type of irony to surprise the audience, because it allows a totally unexpected situation to happen, something totally different from what the audience expected.

An example of this can be seen in "the crucible" when Rev. Hale tests John's religiosity by asking him to recite the 10 commandments and proves innocence in his accusations. Since John is a very eloquent and Christian man, the public is sure that he will have an easy time reciting. He really has it at the beginning, but he starts, but he can't recite the 10 commandments and he recites just 9, surprising the audience.

What was the Chinese man’s “getting-caught” story ?
OLga [1]

Answer: A man who spent nearly three years in a Chinese prison after getting caught up in a bar fight while working overseas as a football coach is now back home in Detroit.

Wendell Brown was convicted and given a lengthy sentence that his lawyer said was excessive.

Brown won his freedom from a Chinese prison after being held for three years for a bar fight he said he didn't start and wasn't responsible for.

He said he was throwing up his hands in self-defense, but the Chinese government charged him with what amounts to criminal assault.

Brown said after pleas from family members, friends, the State Department and the state of Michigan, he was released a year early.

The hardest part of the last three years was not having any verbal contact with his family, Brown said. His only phone call was to his dying grandfather.

On Wednesday, Brown was filled with gratitude as he stood on U.S. soil as a free man.

Write a well-formed paragraph that summarizes the central ideas found in the excerpt from Emerson’s essay Nature. Your paragraph
saul85 [17]
Emerson obviously reveres nature and believes that one should maintain a sense of awe and wonder that children have in appreciating natural beauty. Also he states that nature does not display a mean appearance for example  in such things as glorious sunsets ore  even in menacing natural phenomena like erupting volcanoes at night time the pyroclastics cascading down the slopes of the volcano are beautiful. He speaks of the "integrity of impression made by manifold natural objects" and this is reminiscent of Alexander Von Humboldt when he and his partner Bonpland the botanist first arrived in what became known as Venezuela they were both drunk by the myriad wonderful aspects of the lush vegetation in all its tropical splendor. Emerson said "a wild delight runs through the man in spite of sorrows" at the sight of nature and that is what Humboldt and Bonpland experienced especially since they were natural scientists so could appreciate the natural environment much more.
