English
1 answer:

Answer:

Onomatopoeia

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia refers to the creation of words that imitate the sound they are trying to describe. Examples are: tic-toc, lub-dub, quack, mwah.

Onomatopoeia comes from the combination of two greek words that mean "name" and "I make".

Onomatopoeia differs a little bit between languages both in spelling and sometimes even in sound. For example, tic-toc is widely used in English, while tic-tac is used in Spanish; quack is used in English, while cuac is used in Spanish; haha is used in English and jaja is used in Spanish.

Poetry provides a detailed expression of thoughts by different authors that really makes you think. It's usually not written explicitly, so you really get to learn more about ourselves and the world around us by reading poetry.

Early in the play, Rev. Parris is greatly concerned with his "enemies," whom he fears will use Betty’s mysterious illness agains
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

It shows that Parris is only concerned about his ministry and though he cares for his daughter, his reputation is more important to him.

He is not a good father for he gives more importance to his image than his daughter, when he said to Abigail in Act 1, that his "ministry's at stake", and that his "enemies will ruin (him) with it".

Explanation:

In Act 1 of "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, we see the character of Parris, the Reverend of the church in Salem, Massachusetts kneeling in front of his daughter's bed. His daughter Betty had been accused of being under the spell of witchcraft. She and some girls had been found dancing at night in the woods, accused of indulging and practicing witchcraft. Reverend Samuel Parris is worried that this accusation will ruin his family and also since Betty is still unconscious with the doctors unsure of what is wrong with her.

The actions of Rev. Parris in asking Abigail about the occurrence and trying to settle the issue shows that he is more concerned about how the people of the town will think of him. Though he may be the respected reverend in the church, this witchcraft accusation may have a negative impact on his image and may even ruin his ministry. Instead of focusing on the welfare of his daughter, who by the way is still unconscious, he kept telling Abigail how this whole issue will be the ruin of him. He implores her to tell her everything, for he fears that "<em>my enemies will, and they‘ll ruin me with it…</em>", adding "<em>my ministry‘s at stake</em>". This only indicates his poor parenting skills, instead thinking of saving his own skin even when his daughter is sick.
