Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible in response to the McCarthy hearings in the 1950's as a way of illustrating another, real witchhunt.
hope this helps (:
The quotations from the excerpt that best represent reasonable evidence to support the claim that Americans are losing confidence in their governments are 1 and 3:
1. For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years. (YES)
2. . . . the willingness of Americans to save for the future has fallen below that of all other people in the Western world.
(NO)
3. Two-thirds of our people do not even vote. (YES)
4. The productivity of American workers is actually dropping. . . (NO)
Evidence is generally used in argumentative essays to support a claim that the writer has made about a debatable topic. Moreover, evidence is included in order to make this claim more solid and convincing for the reader. In this case, <u>quotations 1 and 3 provide proper evidence because they are implying that most people do not have hope for a better future regarding political issues</u>.
That is a homophone because they are all said the same just spelled differently another example is Heir or air. Good luck. If possible, you think that I could get brainliest?
You could write this essay in a couple different ways. The point is to take an argumentative stance and then provide research for your stance.
These are some ways you could go, based on your opinion:
a) that subliminal messages are picked up by our senses, meaning they are real and do affect behavior
b) that subliminal messages are not picked up by our senses and do not affect behavior
If you're not sure which stance to take, just do some general googling of subliminal messages and whether they're real & affect behavior.
Once you find your position, start researching specifically for that. Remember that this is argumentative- you're taking a position- so you want to have real facts as support. Use reputable sites (look for .edu, .org, .gov instead of .com).
Craft your thesis, which is the main claim you're making. This will go in the introduction of your essay.
A basic thesis may go like:
Subliminal messages are/are not real, and they have/do not have an effect on behavior. (You would pick between belief or nonbelief).
Once you have your thesis, you can start organizing your information around it and write the essay!
