What is the answer to this question from the short story “Miss Brill”

English

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In the beginning of the story (which I read just for you ;) ), Miss Brill takes the fur out of the box and proudly dons it. She goes about her day, feeling pretty darn good, until " a boy and girl came and sat down ... beautifully dressed; they were in love." They're incredibly rude to her: the boy refers to Miss Brill as "that stupid old thing" and the girl calls the precious fur "exactly like a fried whiting." Driving the message home, the author notes that, usually, Miss Brill buys a slice of cake as a treat; however, this time, she "passed the baker's by," goes home, and "quickly; quickly, without looking, laid it [the fur] inside." The author's repeated use of the word "quickly" further emphasizes Miss Brill's shame and self-consciousness. What a sad story :( Hope that helps!

Although The Crucible is set in 1692, it was written in the 1950s from a modernist perspective.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

<u>A. It deals with the aftermath of war and trauma.</u>

Explanation:

<u><em>In the period immediately following the end of World War II, American theater was transformed by the work of playwright Arthur Miller. Profoundly influenced by the Depression and the war that immediately followed it, Miller tapped into a sense of dissatisfaction and unrest within the greater American psyche. His probing dramas proved to be both the conscience and redemption of the times, allowing people an honest view of the direction the country had taken.</em></u>

In The Crucible all the event flow naturally from one event to the next. Everything happens naturally from the natures of the characters. The fact that the story isn’t contrived, and even more that it is based on a true story is interesting. The result is so unbelievable. The incident begins with the girls dancing in the forest and snowballs into a huge witch hunt. The plot was exciting. There was sufficient conflict to keep my interest aroused. There are a lot of tension and suspense in the story. <em>It covers basic human instincts and qualities. It shows the human necessity for survival, and the lengths at which a person will go to save his life. There is the idea of honor and truth.</em> Proctor tries to keep his reputation but gives it up to reveal the truth. Through his struggle he achieves righteousness. All these things keep the plot moving. Proctor’s relationship with Elizabeth can be seen to grow and mature. He continually grows more pure in Elizabeth’s sight until she is able to forgive him in act four. Proctor’ character also improves. He doesn’t want to get involved in the court proceedings in act two but stands up for the truth in act four
