The political events that shaped the play are related to the role Senator Joseph Mc Carthy played in the U.S  Congress during the Cold War with the Soviet Union - after World War II-. Mc Carthy was totally against communists. He wanted to root out any potential communism sympathizer. His policies caused a wave of paranoia in the US.

Religious is reflected in the setting. The play was set in Puritan New England in 1692. This religious fact was used by Miller to make a comparison between what the Puritans did to a group of colonists accused of witchcraft and what Mc Carthy did to potential communists. In the play, the Massachusetts government and the Judicial System got influenced by Puritanism. As a consequence, the colonists that had been accused of witchcraft were sent to prison. McCarthy 's policies could have the same effect on communist sympathizers.

Social events were related to artistic events.  McCarthy's search for potential communists affected the government and the entertainment industry. Besides, there was an organization , the House of Un -American Activities Committee, that investigated connections  between artists , people from the popular media;  famous writers and communists. Miller was shocked by these activities.

Either strawberries or an apple are a healthful choice for a snack.  
<span>
Verbs are simply known as the ‘action’ words – may it be mental, physical or mechanical. When verbs are paired with auxiliaries (helping verbs), they are known as verb phrase. These helping verbs always go first before the actual verb. <span>Perfect tenses serves a portraying the verb or the action word as something that already happened or is completed, thus the term ‘perfect’. If it is present perfect tense, it means that the action was already done relatively to the present (has/have with past participle). If it is past perfect tense, action is already finished relatively to the past (had with past participle and if it is future perfect tense, action is complete relatively to the future (will have with past participle</span></span>
