Answer:

During the time Miller wrote "The Crucible" it was 1952 and Senator McCarthy was conducting a "witch hunt" against any American suspected of being a communist. During the McCarthy era, people were accused of being communist based on opinions with no evidence at times. Miller could not directly blame Senator McCarthy for accusing people without proof because then they would think he himself was a communist and he would be punished. Instead, he referred back to the Salem Witch trials knowing that the same scenario was happening present-day 1950s, as it did back in the 1690s. Both of the situations matched up arguably parallel to one another due to them both having the same theme and structure. So basically Miller crafted The Crucible as an allegory to indirectly relate it to what was happening at the time and also to target Senator McCarthy without being accused of communism.

Arthur Miller crafted The Crucible as an allegory by basing his characters off of real people that went through the Salem Witch Trials. Arthur Miller was called in during the Red Scare and was asked if he ever knew any Communists that threatened America. Miller felt attacked and wrote The Crucible to show how he saw the whole incident. He compared the experience to the court cases in the Witch Trials in which people were forced to betray their friends and family.

Have a blessed day!

enot [183]

Answer:

Some people may say it is a good idea because you can get to learn more things because your in school year round and some people may say it is not a good idea because you won't get a summer break. Personally I agree that it is not a good idea because I feel like if you don't have a break between learning you will start to get tired of it and it can be bad for your mental help to be doing school work 24/7. Everyone may have a different opinion on this topic.
