Answer and Explanation:

In the first Act, we can see that fear is a driving force that determines the action, behavior and positioning of the characters in relation to everything that happens in their lives. Thus, we can say that fear, in this story, has the ability to manipulate all members of society. This can be considered an effect of the repressive Puritan society, which works on a blind faith to contain citizens, instead of working with information and freedom. In this case, we can perceive two types of fear that rule the whole story, the fear of witchcraft and diabolical manipulation (we can see this with the girls' fear of being accused of witches and the population's fear of harboring witches), such as the fear of losing their reputation (as we can see at the moment when Reverend Parris had to have a witch inside his house.)

Fear causes lies, accusations, deaths and, as we know, a strong hysteria that almost destroyed the city. Furthermore, fear causes a wave of betrayals and accusations, which all Puritan society in history does not see as sinful acts, but they believe it is justifiable. This shows how this society was contradictory.

Write a summary of DARK THEY WERE From paragraph 267 -283 250 words
Evgesh-ka [11]

"Dark They Were" is a short story written by Ray Bradbury. In this story we are introduced to a group of Americans who were selected to be sent to Mars and colonize the planet, while the USA is participating in a war. These Americans then store seeds, food, water, clothing, and other elements that will allow them to establish the colony on Mars.

The Bittering family was selected to be one of the settlers of Mars and soon after arriving they start to plant agricultural crops in the soil of Mars, as well as the other families. However, crops begin to behave strangely and do not look like the food on earth. Animals also begin to undergo strange mutations and even people begin to have their bodies modified, losing their human appearance and looking more like a Martian. Even the Bittering family goes through these mutations.

The colony completely loses contact with the American government and is unable to get help for their problems. However, at the moment when American astronauts manage to reestablish this contact and go to the Martian colony to check on how the colonists are doing, they do not find any human being, just a group of strange-looking but sympathetic aliens who speak English in an admirable way.
