<span>Arthur Miller’s The Crucible was based on two historical
events that very similar despite the fact that they occurred on two different
time periods. Miller based his work on
the witch hunts that happened in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. This came about
when a group of young girls fell ill and developed symptoms such as seizures,
fainting spells, many believed that this was the work of witches. Word of this development led to panic as
people began to suspect one another of being a witch. This led to numerous trials where many were
killed just because someone accused them of witchcraft. During the McCarthy era, the government launched
a similar crusade to root out communist sympathizers. Many were jailed, executed as well as had
their careers destroyed. Both event were
the same in the sense that many lives were ruined due to fear and suspicion.</span>

Explanation:
I hope this helps you.
I read the story So they should be right but I’m sorry if they aren’t.
The story Pecos Bill exhibits the characteristics of a tall tale because the things that Pecos Bill and Sluefoot Sue did are more than what ordinary men can do. Bill dug up the Rio Grande to keep out a group of Mexican bandits from entering Texas. When Bill met Sluefoot Sue, she was riding on a giant catfish. Also, Sluefoot Sue was able to rope six steers with one throw of her lasso. When Bill and Sluefoot Sue had their first kiss, Bill was so excited he started shooting into the air and when he finished, there was only one star left in the sky. This is why Texas is known as the "Lone Star" state.
